Rusty here. As everyone knows, I like to march to my own drummer and do my own thing, so I really do not spend a lot of time focused on what others think. So we were stunned to realize that we were in the lead – ever so slight – in the Reader’s Choice voting for Good Old Dog category in Mangominster – the “real” dogs alternative to that other Westminster thing. As of the time of this posting, the separation between the first and second contestant was a mere eight votes, so we need everyone who has not already voted – GO VOTE NOW!
Now our competition is quite worthy and we would be honored to place beside such great competition, but we can’t help but ask you to go VOTE FOR RUSTY. Just click on that link, select Rusty’s name, and vote. The voting cuts off at noon eastern US standard time, so don’t delay.
You can see Rusty’s original entry here. but we thought we should share a few Rusty Good Old Dog pictures.
- NASCAR Rusty
- Hope I can see the show from here.
- Fighting off these competitors can be so tough.
- Why would anyone think this is not normal?
- Any Good Old Dog knows how to operate this equipment.
- Just hanging out with the Jeep
- What’s cooking, hu-dad?
- Serious Rusty
Woo - look over there.
Just a Good Old Dog

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
They’re so beautiful, wow. I especially have a soft spot for Rusty and Holly. You think I can get them a special collar over at http://www.naturalk9supplies.com
I think you just might be our mom’s favorite member of the Herd, Rusty.

Congratulations on being the Reader’s Choice (including ours)!
As a Upper Midwest resident, we are proponents of the late Mayor Richard Daley’s philosophy to “Vote Early and Vote Often.” Since the Mango Minster would only let us vote once, we voted yesterday for Rusty!
Good Luck Rusty, may the best Pup win! (Or the one with the most friends!)
Kisses,

Hey Herd,
We’re chewing on sour grapes. That was a GReat race today, Congratulations on winning the Reader’s Choice award. We’re still all a bit miffed/peeved this evening and it isn’t because of ya’ll. Right now we’d all qualify to win the Bad Sport category hands down, but we’ll get over it – eventually. We don’t mind losing out to Rusty in the Readers Choice voting but we really feel like we both got dis’ed, big time, in the judging. Now we don’t know Thor but we went to his blog and evidently he lives with Martha Stewart. Thor is a Damn Yankee from Pennsylvania, which we reckon is on the north side of the MD Line And Thor doesn’t even have a blog unless he’s distributing recipes for deviled eggs under an alias. As a matter of fact, we’re more miffed about Rusty’s situation than Jubal’s. Evidently Reader votes had absolutely nothing at all to do with the judging. Judge Thor’s 1st place winner garnered a respectable 31 votes, 6% of the total. The second place winner had only 6 readers votes; 1% of the total. The third place winner had a respectable 20 votes; 4% of the total. The two Honorable Mentions; one had 11 votes, 2% of the total and one had just 4 votes, 0% of the total -ZERO PERCENT. Ya’ll had a whooping 129 votes which is 27 PERCENT of the total, yet, surprisingly, you didn’t qualify in the judge’s decision for any of the 3 winning positions. DUH! We’ll we’ll be peeved in silence, ‘cept for this outburst, and hope that Patti-Whackit has a better judging situation in the Insane Cracker Dog category on Friday. Rusty, you sure look a lot like the late Ammy from the Ao4. You Sibes are a regal looking pack. Ya’ll don’t live too far away, just one state down; how’d ya like a couple of Landseers to bring your pack up to 8? We know where ya’ll can get ’em real cheap. Just joshing. Well, we gotta go take another cold shower to cool off even though it’s snowing right now.

Congrats! Love Rusty’s pic for the contest, very regal! I’m only sorry I missed the contest voting. 🙁 I’m catching up on things tonight – so glad Rusty won – but Rusty is always a winner in our book! Husky hugs (times five) to Rusty!
OOh – what fantastic pictures!! I’ve been over to MM already today but I’m heading over again now! 😛

We voted for you too, even though you have some very worthy competition. But, Rusty is well…. Rusty. He has a special place in my heart.
