Thank you to everyone who voted for my pet duck - and best friend - Frozen in 85086 Magazine's Cutest Pet Contest. As a result of your support, Frozen finished in third-place. Although only the first-place finisher - a pit bull terrier - got to grace the cover of the magazine's May issue, Frozen...

A great big thank you to everyone on BYC who voted for Frozen! I found out today that the magazine is so impressed with Frozen's support that they are going to spotlight him as the third place finisher in their May issue! They sent me a few questions to respond to by EOD tomorrow! I can't wait...

If everyone could vote one final time today, I would appreciate it! Frozen is in fourth place as the other pit bull has overtaken him but they are basically neck and neck. He doesn't get anything unless he comes in first or second - which is impossible at this point - but at least he'll have...

Thanks everyone for your support! True - dogs are the more popular pets. But I'll take a duck over a dog any day!

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update - Frozen has got 176 votes. I suppose it is still possible for him to catch up to the golden pup at 319 but the pit bull seems out of reach with 346. At this point, I just want to keep him in third place but another pit bull is catching...

Happy Easter everyone! Frozen has broken 100 votes but he is WAY behind the pit bull and the golden pup. I did a lot of work yesterday and today to see if I could get him some more votes! I had a local chocolate company post something on their Facebook, I had a local radio station post something...

Thank you, maccay2k! Unfortunately, while he's still beating the vast majority of the competition, the pit bull and the golden retriever pup have gotten so far ahead of him that his odds of winning are not looking too great. But we must press on! Cute video, btw! Frozen is my one and only but I...

Please still vote! You don't have to have FB. I don't have it either (which may be why Frozen has fallen behind although I am compensating with outreach in other ways). It's just hosted on FB. All you have to have is an e-mail address. :)

Good morning everyone! That pit bull and golden retriever puppy and leaving my poor Frozen in the dust! If you have not yet voted, please do so! And if you already have, thank you - please do it again!!! You can vote once every 24 hours and can do so from a PC (http://on.fb.me/1GXxXFr) or from a...

I haven't yet but I will today. The Indian Runner Duck Association was kind enough to post something on their Facebook page (although it sounds like they frown upon diapers, lol). Sadly, the pit bull is not his only competition now as a labrador retriever puppy has also pulled ahead of him.

Thanks Smurfbrew! When we woke up this morning and I told Frozen that a pit bull had pull ahead of him, he started quacking like crazy! He has a huge ego and really wants to win! :) Also, if the confirmation link does not show up in your e-mail, please check your spam folder.

Thanks Highcotten! The e-mail took a couple of minutes to arrive on my end as well but once I clicked on it I was able to vote again today (24 hours later) very easily. By the way, I'm not that new. I just post that often and prefer to just read/research, although BYC members have helped me out...

Thank you Kaessa and Orca! Frozen was in the lead yesterday but now he's losing to a pit bull. :(

Hello everyone! I entered my pet duck Frozen in a cutest pet contest! If he wins, he gets to grace the cover of 85086 Magazine (a local publication in my community). He could use your support as there are a couple of dogs who are coming up from behind and giving him a run for his money! If you...

I found a vet and took him there. They checked him out, stuck a swab down his throat and tested for bacteria. Nothing glaring but some slight evidence of bacteria. Next step was a blood test but that's a bit more pricey. Came home with some antibiotic pills that I have to stuff down his throat...
