I have been voting daily since the link was first posted and I have forwarded to others to vote for their favorite and hoping they have chosen Old Fella. If you are voting more than once then please don't do that. As per the rules I have posted in blue below voting once per day is all that is allowed. The following was copied and pasted from the official website and can be found at this link. I would hate to see Old Fella get kicked to the bottom because the computer found too many votes from one computer per day.
If there is anything wrong with posting this then please have it deleted. In the meantime I am going to keep voting daily to try to get Old Fella up to the top.. Thanks, Fulltimegrams

That's the trouble we ran into last year - had to miss the Branson rally. Understand completely.

This morning Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue is ranked 215 over all and 7th in the state. Good job, keep the votes coming.
Yesterday I learned a sad truth about the person assigned to me from the party I represent to help with the election campaign. My opponent and I were supposed to speak at a gathering in a section of the district that I am running for. He was to go one Saturday and then I would be invited to speak at another date. When I didn’t hear from anyone I decided to go to the area and see what was going on only to find out a deal had been struck with my opponent. When I confronted the person the excuse he used, he was waiting to hear from me and when he didn’t he thought I didn’t want his help. I made it clear I would be out of town on certain dates and gave him the dates I would be available, now there is a question mark in that relationship.
I learned from another source that my opponent promised them certain things for their vote and they agreed. That’s okay because I had covered the area pretty much before I left for Virginia and yesterday I made a sweep of the remaining area and was able to put my campaign signs in just about every yard. I am not a politician and I really don’t want to be one, but I am learning some lesson the hard way.
This morning I put the flea ointment on Suzie and as usual she went to her kennel as if she had been beat and there she remains and refuses to come out, I don’t know why she reacts this way to the treatment but I will change brands to see if it helps. Peaches is doing great and has settled into the routine of the household and loving every minute of it. I can’t get my mind off of Charlie and beginning to think about looking for another yellow Lab. Charlie was such a sweet dog and everything a person would hope to find in a companion animal, maybe something will turn up.
Okay I will go for now and start the day. I have a lot to do so for now I will say have a great day and I will talk with you later.
