Anniversary Week at the Biergarten!
FridayPuppy.
Another close week! If anyone watched me while I was counting these votes they would think I’m crazy. I do tallies, I talk out loud, and I count them over and over, due to a mild case of OCD I may or may not have. But, here it is: The winner of this weeks FridayPuppy is the very cute Vivi!!
Congratulations to the parents of Vivi. I hope you like bier, peanuts and German sausage, because you have won a $25 gift certificate to Wolff’s Biergarten!
Now, on to these four pups that I am bringing to you. Luna, Sadie, Maximus and Riesling, four melt-till-you-are-a-pile-on-the-ground cuties to choose from.
Vote for your favorite and tell all of your friends to vote also. The FridayPuppy prize this week will be two Utica Specials (any beverage, Utica Greens, Riggies of your choice and Pizza Frita) from Sciortino’s Pizzeria!
Good luck pups, and happy Friday everyone!

Smallbany Video.
If you’re not familiar with the Smallbany Cartoons, you can check them out HERE.
Cartoonist Dana Owens, put together a little movie at Smallbany, and it includes an interview with Tess (from McGeary’s) and me at the 5:40 mark.
Thank you, Dana Owens, for including me in your project. Keep up the great work!
Bombers Burrito Bar Vine Video Contest.
When I first heard about Vine, I was all like, “ooooh exciting. A new wine app.”
I stood corrected and I now use the mini-movie making app pretty regularly, say once a week maybe. Which is a lot for me. I don’t do anything once a week.
Vine is fun. And it’s perfect for my attention span.
So, I thought it would be interesting to do a Vine Video Competition for a Bombers Burrito Bar commercial.
In case you didn’t know, Bombers Burrito Bar Troy is opening up this Winter 2012 Early 2013 Spring 2013 sometime in 2013, and it’d be fun to have a new Bombers commercial to send around.
So… if you use Vine, and want to participate, here are the rules:
1. You have to follow @BombersBurritos on Twitter. (it probably wouldn’t hurt for you to follow me on Twitter, also, but it’s not a requirement. But let me repeat, it wouldn’t hurt.)
2. Make a Vine video commercial.
3. Title the video: Check out the video I made for @BombersBurritos #BombersCommercialContest
4. There has to be the Bombers star logo in your video somewhere.
The winner of this Bombers Burrito Bar commercial contest will receive:
1. $500 cash
2. A Bombers Burrito Bar gift card for $100
3. A Bombers Tshirt and a Bombers trucker hat
4. Your commercial splattered all over social media.
5. A hug, a thank you, and probably a shot of tequila from me. Unless you’re under-age, in which case just the thank you and the shot.
The contest ends June 1, 2013.
We look forward to checking out your Vine videos!
Good luck.
Frankie and the porcupine.
Frankie and the fish.
Here is a photo of my boy Frankie, who caught a fish at Grafton.
Thank you, Sarah and Duncan Pratt, for always taking such good care of my dogs. I love you guys.
FridayPuppy.
Lots of votes this week! It was another close one, but Harry takes the cake (or fish and chips I should say)! Congratulations to Harry’s parents for being owners of a FridayPuppy and winning a great meal from The Olde English Pub.
This week I have added another puppy to the mix. Now we have 5 pups to choose from. The first is sweet Bailey Lou, and by chance the last four have very similar sounding names- Vivi, Archie, Butchie and Charlie.
Check them out, think about your choice, and vote in a comment below. This weeks FridayPuppy will be winner of a $25 gift certificate to Wolff’s Biergarten.
If you haven’t already, send in a photo of your pup. Don’t have a pup? Send in a photo of your friend’s cute one. We know you love your dogs and we know most of you take lots and lots of photos of them, so make sure you send a clear photo that really captures your dog’s personalty and charm!
Good luck puppies and happy Friday everyone!!

Drunk dialing Amex.
First of all, I know smoking is bad so spare me the lecture.
I only do it when I’m drinking, stressed, driving in my car, or after you know what.
Anyway, thank you American Express for the wonderful customer service representative.
