Ready and Running - My Acceptance Speech!

Hello Blogville!!

I would like to formally accept the position of Mayor for the 2017/2018 term!!

There are so many I need to thank for supporting me and running such a great campaign!




The biggest thanks go to YOU, the citizens of Blogville; without you there wouldn't be a Blogville. I look forward to working with everyone to keep Blogville the fun and exciting place it is today!

The next thank you goes to my worthy opponents Christmas and Oreo, along with Angel Lexi and Noodles!! Blogville couldn't have asked for a better selection of Candy Dates and I am lucky enough to call them all furiends!!!

Next, let me bring out my best gal AND my rock during this campaign. The pug who not only has great fashion sense, but is also a multi-ribbon agility winner....Blogville's New Vice Mayor...

Vice Mayor Elect Mabel!! 
Thank you Mabel, from the bottom of my Shih Tzu heart, for  helping to make our campaign so very successful!!

 I wouldn't even be a resident of Blogville without the help of my big sister Dory. Dory will be retiring from Pawlitics this year and word is she and Mr. Bailey will spend their retirement years traveling the world!  I also want to thank Jakey and Bilbo for helping me stay on track during the election. I pawmise not to be tooooo bossy in the coming months!

 I couldn't have made it as far as I have without the help of the previous administrations, especially the previous Mayors, Frankie and Madi, and the current Lame Duck Mayors Murphy and Stanley!!! I am looking forward to meeting with Murphy and Stanley when they return from vacation to start the transition process!!
