Just a quick note between naps, I didn't want humans to think I forgot.
There is at least 48 hours between now and when Blogathon officially ends (they have the Sabbath version running now), so people can still sponsor up until they close the sponsor window.
Once the sponsor window is closed, I will be officially drawing the raffle to see who wins the prizes and I'll announce the winner on the blog and contact the winner via e-mail.
Now, I must turn over so I don't get matted on one side and continue my recovery nap.
Thank you all for your support, it actually was fun.

The Final Blogathon Post
Well everyhusky (and everydog... and Zeus),
Its been quite a learning experience for me, this past 24 hours. I hope I've given some wisdom and some laughs to you.
I've learned that its a big doggie world out there, and together we can sniff butts and take over the world.
I've learned that even though the human woman is annoying, what with her double speak like "bed-bed", "treat-treat", "crate-crate", "pee-pee", "claw-claw" (ok I threw that last one in there), at least she doesn't dress me up in silly costumes, I get three meals a day and two nummy kong stuffed treats per day, and a bedtime snack, so I guess she's not that bad... unless you count the times I've yelled to come in and she ignores me. Ok, she also supports my kleenex habit, so fine, she's not too bad.
I've learned that the human man always sounds like he's mad, but he's not, and he'll feed us human food when the human woman isn't looking (oops, let that one slip).
I still get irritated at the gimpy mutant toe suck up Loki and bionic hip puppy Sam... but they're my step brothers, and they're fun to chew on, and its really fun to stand at the top of the stairs and snag Loki when he runs up and slam his body to the floor. Ok, so they're not that bad either I guess.
That labs are useful and nice, and they're welcome to help us when the huskies take over the world. Even Doglets can be useful to get things out of small places, and ... Zeus, we'll have to find you a secure place because you're just too tempting to most of us huskies.
After this post, I will be curling up in my crate with just enough energy to lick the peanut butter out of my kong and eat my cookie and then fall into a long sleep as the human man and woman stumble out to do something else nice.
Ok, it doesn't suck here at all, so everydog, give your loving human a nice sloppy kiss (don't forget to lick those special areas first!) and thank them for putting up with all of those other humans that just don't get what its like to take care and love one of us, and for putting up with us sometimes when we're cranky and demanding.
And with that, I say to Blogathon 2006, it was fun, hope you had fun too, and ......
Love

Only One More to Go
I wanted to honor the husky who came before me
Who taught the humans all about huskies.
Who ripped the arm off of a loveseat.
Who shredded a brand new dog bed when they could barely afford to eat.
Who ripped back 5 foot of wall to wall carpet in a rented townhouse
Who riccocheted off the backs of couches,
Who leapt straight up in the air
Who made a little groan before settling in for the night, like me
Who was born the day before the day I was born, and died a month before I was born
Nakidka "Nikki"
I wanted to honor the old guy-guy Nova, who taught me right from wrong, and played chase with me, and let me have everything I wanted, and taught me to be the one to watch out for everyone else, including the humans.
And to all of those huskies out there that have good, loving homes, and those who need good loving homes.
This was for all of you

We Interupt this Blogathon for a Special Report
We go live, on the scene, where our correspondents Biff Sanderson, and Anna-Maria-Richardson-Clarke are standing by:
Well Biff, we thought it looked like a loss to the Husky Search Team, but in the end, they pulled it off!
Right you are Anna-Maria, the special transport was pulling up, and it looked as though the team was going to call it quits.
I'm sure they were very disappointed in their performance today if they went home empty mouthed, but lucky for them Biff, Search Member Bear had to go to the bathroom, and just happened to stumble on Mr. Hoffa himself.
Yep Anna-Maria, that was a close call, and boy was Bear lucky. He's certainly the hero today.
You betcha Biff, well that does it for us for this week's "Geo-Caching Jimmy Hoffa" competition.
I can't wait until next week Anna-Maria, as the Lab Search team will have a dickens of a time finding him, since the Husky Search team is such vigorous diggers.
Ho ho, you betcha Biff. Well, for myself, Biff, and the rest of the "Geo-Caching Jimmy Hoffa" crew, we'll see you next week on "Geo-Caching Jimmy Hoffa", good-night everyone!
All prizes associated with the "Geo-Caching Jimmy Hoffa" competition are donated to various rescue organizations around the world. "Geo-Caching Jimmy Hoffa" is not affiliated with "Geo-Caching Glen Miller", and portions of the competition had to be cut for time, but the results were not affected.

After this one, only three more to go
I'm almost sad that its coming to a close. I've met some wonderful friends by doing this, and helped some friends who need a home. I got to claw the human woman more than normal, and that's always a bonus.
I'm really looking foward to getting some sleep now that the end is getting near. Of course, just the end of Blogathon, I'll be back when I'm rested to continue my usual postings, and complaining about the mutant gimpy suck up Loki, and the bionic hip Sammy. Did I tell you about the time that old guy-guy Nova peed on the flood detector? My brain seems a bit empty at the moment, I keep staring off into the distance and thinking of the good ol times when I was a puppy and caused all sorts of problems for the humans... and still do, just on a grander scale now. Playing the "hide behind the tree so the human woman doesn't see us and freak out" game. The "even though I said I wanted to go out I was just making you get up from your spot so I could take it" game. Such fun.

Good Morning EveryHusky!
The sun is up, its a beautiful... ok, slightly overcast and gloomy wonderful day!I haven't had my breakfast yet, and that's mainly because it just seems like its not morning yet, since I didn't get any sleep at all. Next year, I'm getting some other huskies as co-pilots so that I can nap for a bit. This doing it all myself (no help from the worthless human woman who kept dozing off) is for the birds... mmmm, tasty little birds... oh, sorry.
I've also learned that it helps to have huskies, and labs (thanks Opy and Charlie) and other dogs help you out throughout the night. Seeing comments from someone or another all night really made me want to stay awake, because I knew dogs were counting on me to pull through.
I also want to thank, again and again, everydog that sponsored and actually got my tally higher than the chicken sanctuary. While I'm sure its a great cause... ok, nuff said there.
In case you think this sounds like the final post... it isn't. I just wanted to thank everydog again for their support and spreading the word for such a great cause.
Ok, gotta go take a tinkle now and get some breakfast, so be back in a half (hour that is)

More Helpful Tips from Meeshka
Ok everyhusky, there are some nasty human things out there that we really, no REALLY shouldn't eat ever, ever, did I mention EVER!
Although some of these things are tasty, we shouldn't eat them because they may harm us:
Avocado
Chocolate
Onions/garlic
Raisin/Grapes
Yeast Dough
Stuff with xylitol (that sugar free junk stuff)
Those are just a few of the things. The ASPCA site has a lot more information: http://www.aspca.org/
Now, there are two things that most humans don't know about that they could bring into your house and it could harm you:
Cocoa Mulch. Sure it smells all nice and chocolatey, but that will do us in if we eat it.
Gorilla Glue. This fast acting, expanding glue will cause us some SERIOUS problems if we get ahold of it. To see what it can do to one of us, go to: http://www.ksat.com/family/9570002/detail.html
So, as much as you want to eat it, and as tasty as it smells, you should just say NO and avoid that stuff at all costs.
Now, just in case you didn't get it, here is Rena and her ick face:
Meeshka say: Relax, don't do it

Wanna Hear Something Funny?
The human woman just woke up from her nap (after I clawed her) and told me that when this is over, she can't even go to bed. She and the human man (who is still up) have to go to that pet cemetery that they're trying to save to mow and meet some people there.
I swear, between the rescue stuff, the pet cemetery stuff, its a wonder we all get fed and played with sometimes, but I'll be nice and send a woo-out to all of the helpful volunteers who are trying to save the Rosa Bonheur Memorial Park in Elkridge, Merryland.
In case you didn't know, the humans never made any laws for pet cemeteries in Merryland, so the property owners can do whatever they want with with land and they don't have to move the puppies, kittens, and other animals that are buried there. I think that just stinks.
The humans have been working to get the cemetery cleaned up and looking nice and be more safe so that loving humans who actually cared for their pets can come visit. They're also trying to pass a law that will keep pet cemeteries sacred (as they should be).
I give you permission to go and read about it, as long as you come back to my blog to adore me and praise me, and pet my fluffiness. You can find out all sorts of stuff here: Save Rosa Bonheur and you can sign their petition, see the pictures of their progress, and join an e-mail list and bring a mower to help them mow and clean and stuff.

Hoffahunt Stalled Again
Amazing as it sounds, but the Husky searchers have been called off yet again, this time to pose for a christmas picture. The normally rambunctious and hard to control search team simply got into their places and sat very still for the picture before leaping down and continuing their search for the famed, and missing union leader.
One husky searcher exclaimed that there seemed to be a lingering smell of garlic coming from somewhere, but they just couldn't pin it down.
Hopefully we'll have something more solid in the next report.

How to be a Nuisance Part 2
Tara sent me this wonderful picture of herself enjoying a nice cold drink of water, and it reminded me that we haven't discussed more ways to be annoying, which she clearly demonstrates a good one:
Drool when you drink. Just don't daintily sip that water, suck it down, shove your whole face in there, then walk around a bit while it falls out of your mouth. Give those humans something shocking soaking through their socks.
Once the humans take off their wet socks, you can implement operation stomp on bare feet. The humans really love this one. If they're standing still, just walk up to them, and casually put one of your feet on theirs, and then grind those nails into their foot.
If its raining, make sure you get good and wet, then don't shake the moment you get in the door... wait for the human to lean down with a towel and get them full in the face!
The last one takes some timing, but it can be done once you know the human schedule, and that's: Leap onto them just as they fall asleep. HOOO a laugh a minute that one as they leap up, fold up, or scream shrill.
Speaking of timing, has anyone else noticed that blogger seems to be in a random time zone? They're like a half hour behind, and there's no way I'm redoing a half hour ago just because they can't set their clocks.
The human woman did mention that she's from Indyana (which I'm assuming is owned by Indy, my blog and personal friend), and that they never set their clocks back when the rest of the world did, so does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care... about time? Apparently not since everyone was either 1 hour late, on time but didn't mean to be on time, or an hour early.
They just now got with the century and decided to change the clocks... but some wiseacre told them to figure out which time zone they wanted to be in... which meant there was about 14 time zones in Indyana depending on what county you were in, which defeated the entire purpose of daylight savings. I suggested that the human woman's mother (also known as grandma human woman) demand that her house run on Mountain time, just to be different.
So I figure that maybe blogger is running on some obscure Indyana time where they only set their clocks back a half hour.
Um... so how does this fall into the whole nuisance thing... um... well... its a nuisance that nobody really knows what time it is apparently. Except huskies, because we go by the sun and our stomachs, which keep a lot better time than that human watch stuff.

Who Your Donations Go To
As much as I would like to take all of the money sponsored (I won't need it once the rich banker from war torn Roospuchistan manages to get the money out of the vault and send it to me), I thought I'd show and tell you about some of the pups that it will help out, who will eventually become full fledged HULA members once they find their fur-ever homes. (wow, that's a long sentence).
Sidra
Alaska, always the bridesmaid, never adopted, someone needs to love this sweet thing
Lucy
Oreo
Bailey
Nikita has been having allergy, sinus, food... who knows issues, but the rescue with the help of Alaskan Malamute Assistance League (AMAL) have been paying to run all sorts of nose tests on her to make her all better.
Cosmo
Tristin is the little canine flu carrier that spread it to all of his foster brothers and sisters
Usher
Willow and pups Just came in and won't be available until they are ready, weaned, and able (see the blog I did on them for pictures, I have no idea what time that was).
Quincy Came into rescue with Parvo
Riley His sister developed pneumonia and the ER vet actually asked her foster mom if they should try to keep her alive if she should stop breathing... mom said yes, of course, but it didn't come to that.
So you can see how your donations will help all of these foster dogs get good medicines, good care, and finally find good homes that really care about us as living, breathing, clawing beings, and let us use the internet to take over the world.
thank you everyone for your support, and I'm pretty sure the foster dogs thank you as well.
