I'm so excited to have won for my story. Thanks to everyone. And congrats to all the other winners and nominies.
But... there is one tiny problem. Shadow has been strutting around here all morning, wearing dark sunglasses and talking... okay, barking... like she was a movie star - ever since I told her about her win. She's been demanding a better grade of food, a more elaborate crate and a personal petter. I'm afraid she's going to leave me to go to Hollywood to pursue a career in the movies - especially since I can't afford to satisfy all of her demands. And then who will protect me from the bears (assuming she can even see them from behind those flashy sunglasses)?
