And the Winners Are...

Now that Reader Appreciation Week has ended (though I still really, really appreciate you), I put together an Excel spreadsheet listing the screen names of all the commenters and followers from the past week.
I wasn't sure at first how to choose the winners purely at random out of the 81 entries, so I did a little research and discovered that if you add a second column with a "randomizing" formula (=RAND() for my fellow Excel nerds) then do a data sort by that column, Excel will convert the formula to an arbitrary number and sort in a completely random way.

So I decided that the first three names to appear after sorting in that fashion would be the lucky winners of the contest and receive one large deer antler each.  And the winners are:

Congratulations to Two Grad Students and a Pittie, In Black and White, and Patty!  Please email me at crazymaisiemom@gmail.com with your full name and address, and I will get your antler in the mail ASAP.

To everyone else who left comments this week because of the contest (especially those who became followers), thank you so much for participating...I hope you'll all keep reading and commenting!

Oooooooo, THANKS, Bilbo is so excited!!! He's off to rummage in my purse to see if I've still got chicken necks in there so he can get his jaws into shape...

I LOVE Chicago! Thanks for your contest. Great to hear how much you appreciated the obedience training for your puppy. We'd all be happier dog owners if we just invested a little bit of time. Dropping by on the blog hop today.That's what the world needs today - another talking cat - but it's cute! Stop by my blog www.pet-peeves.org to see a cat say "Let me in" at his owner's window.
