We have a winner!

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Olivia! 



This is a photo from the archives - it was taken in February 2008 when I was just about to turn four years old.   (Back when Mom still remembered my birthday! Yeah, so I said I had gotten over it ... but on second thought, not so much.)



So ... earlier this month I had blogged about how, instead of being upset with Mom for forgetting my birthday, I was going to give a present instead, to one of our new friends who had left me a comment telling me what their favorite birthday or gotcha day present had been.  Today was the day for the drawing, and, using random.org I have chosen a winner!  (Mom helped me.) 

Now, I could just announce the winner ... but I thought it would be more fun to see if anyone could guess who it was. 

Here are a few clues to help you out ...

He was born in Michigan but now lives in Minnesota

He is known for stealing hearts 

He is big and black and furry

He might be able to rescue you if you were drowning 

So ... who can guess who our winner is?  Anyone?

P.S. I just thought I'd also let you know that today is Tanner's fifth birthday.  Mom stayed home almost all day and let us have lots of porch time in honor of the day, and then before dinner we had a nip party and played with some new toys.  Mom said some of them were mine since I didn't get any on my actual birthday.  Oh, well ... I'm over it.  I guess.  Oh, yeah, Happy Birthday, Tanner.
