Well, its been quite some time since I’ve written a review. About 15 days or something to be precise. Although during that time I’ve not been completely detached from mouthshut. During this time I’ve been very busy in RRCing the works of other members and also occasionally visiting https://moneybhai.com where currently I’m playing a stock market game based upon the real NSE market during the regular trading hours and real-time update of the prices. The site gave me a notional capital of 10 lakh rupees to play around with, and during the two days of my trading I’ve made a killing of 5000 bucks.
Anyways lemme tell you about how I hopefully will make an ever bigger killing in the near future, or should I say…….how my dog will help me to make a killing. Today afternoon I got a mail (a normal postal mail u techno-savvy guys!!!!!!!!!) from the International Pet Owners Club based in Pittsburgh, KS, the US of A
So I warily opened up the post, after having my dog sniff it incase it was from any of his doggie girlfriends. Anyways…..lemme just type out exactly what I saw on the paper inside
“Dear Rahul
We received your photo of Moju (that’s my dogs name) and marked it as an official entry in the Cutest Pet Photo Contest. The other judges and myself compared it to the many other photos we received and have unanimously agreed your photo (My photo????) will advance to the final round of judging. The photo of Moju is now a SEMI-FINALIST! Can you believe it? You have an excellent chance of winning CASH (50000 bucks) in the contest ending on October 31, 2005 and you are also eligible to win the Annual Super CASH prize. The photo that you entered in the contest was so cute, that it competed with literally hundreds of other photos to become a Semi-Finalist
Rahul, in addition to you becoming a semi-finalist (Christ……are they writing a letter to me or my dawg) in the contest, we selected your pet’s photo to apprear in our newest photo book “Cutest Pets of 2005. The book will be a collection of some of the cutest pet photos from around the world and will boast a full-colour hardocover. Only the best of the best pet photos are allowed to appear in this edition book. The photo of Moju qualified and will be one of the featured pets in the book
With your permission, we would like to include this photo of Moju in the photo book scheduled for printing in the Fall of 2005 (If you include this nut’s photo…..it surely is gonna be a FALL allright) I’ve enclosed a “permission slip” for you to sign. Just so you know, the copyrights to the photo will still be retained by you. As I said before, only the cream of the crop will be included in our photo book.
In a few months, Amazon.com and other retailers will be stocking up on this amazing photo collection and will be selling it for a cover price of $69.95. I almost forgot to mention this (yeah….like I believe that) Your pets picture is now a choosen for two additional honors. The first is that we will be choosing a “Cover Pet” (like Jessica Simpson’s full spread on Playboy CoverPage…..woohoo baby) to grace the cover of the “Cutest Pets of 2005” book. We are also looking for 12 special pets to be featured in our upcoming “Cutest Pets calendar”, a 12 month pictorial of some of the cutest pets on the planet. (Little MJ is an alien……so I guess that disqualifies him)
Once again I want to congratulate you (me?) and wish you best of luck in your photo winning the contest (my photo??). Your photo stands an excellent chance of winning (humph…...If it was my photo I’d have won a long time ago…….i was born as the cutest baby on this planet) You should be proud of your accomplishment. Out of the many pet photos we receive, each month, only the cutest photos taken by the most talented photographers are allowed this opportuninty (Hmm….Now f the photo was mine, that means Moju is the talented photographer….heh heh). I hope you are excited.
Yours truly
R.B
Award Chairperson ”
Now if my memory serves me well, I have a vague recollection of how I came upon to enter this contest. It was through MS. Yeah….MS. After I posted down my review on my dog and just came back one day to check which members of MS had come by and rated my review, I saw this link on the right hand side of my review (where normally you see links related to the topic you’re reading a review on). So anyways…..i clicked on this link titled https://cutepetocontest.com and I thought “what the heck…..i’ve got a couple of photos of this li’l bow wow on my computer so why not upload it to this site and let them have a look at this little nut” So I did…..never ever for a moment believing this he might get into the Semi-finals and also grace a cover page of some magazine or some calender
Yeah so that’s what I got today, by the time I finished reading the above letter…….my dog was boundin in after scaring our mailman away. So anyways…..i got so umm…..jealous of him…..i didn’t give him any food for 4 hours…..thats when my mom came in saw this letter and said “you good-for-nothing fellow, look at this dog……even he’s better than you….” And so as soon as mom left again to go for her evening walk, I went and scowled at Moju who scowled back at me.
So anyways……if you’ve read my earlier review of my dog you’d notice I’ve typed something like “he’s a little cute”…..well I didn’t know he was THIS cute……even cuter than me……hmm…..that needs a re-think……..I guess now I know…..why all my friends, especially the girls frequent my house to meet Mr. Moju. And I thought it was me they couldn’t resist!! Anyways……so yeah…..My little MJ is gonna get his pic published in a book titled “Cutest Pets of 2005” and also on a calendar with one whole month dedicated to him. With luck, maybe I’ll have my photo besides his photo in the book.
Since I’m writing this review under the title cutepetcontest.com, I guess I’d have to give a little info about it too. Its nothing more than what you’ve already guessed from what I’ve written uptill now. You enter a photo of your pet, the judges compare it with the other thousand of entries which come in from all around the world. If your photo is the cutest or close to it, its selected and you have a chance of winning the cash prize and having your pets pic included in some coffee-table book.
So that’s it guys…..if you spot that book around somewhere or the calendar, do browse around and look for a dog called Moju. That’s my dog……my dumb little dog……whom I really love but who’s at the moment making me jealous to no end. Infact…..i’m so jealous…..i’m not gonna give him anything to eat tonight as well…..
Chandra has always been telling me that she thinks that my dog is really very cute and that I’m the worse looking of the two……so she should be really giggling while she is reading this.
Everybody comment on this……..and re-assure me guys.., ……that I am INDEED the better looking one!!!!.
