Memphis is still getting spoiled. my mom made him a blue bandana with MR.Cobalt written on it :D we bought him some busy bones and hes been getting hugs from EVERYONE who sees him. we took him down town and one of the hot dog vendors even gave him hotdogs and buns (that he over cooked, but still) so he is in all his glory!!! :)

im not in it, but hubby, Darcy is. they took his name down, dunno why they didnt use it. silly people

Wow!! That is the coolest news! I would definitely be taking advantage of the ruling that he could go into any buildings. I'd have him out everyday, strutting through town with his bad self!!
Can't wait to see more pics!
Congrats, Memphis - don't let fame spoil your sweet self.

Wow! I wonder if I could somehow get free stuff out of my dogs!!!

here is taken from the news paper
Major Holland Park was setting for the crowning of "Cobalt the Dog" competition Saturday afternoon. The legend of Cobalt the Dog dates back to the early mining days in Cobalt and the story of Cobalt's first mascot being a stray bulldog. This year Cobalt has chosen a Mr. and Mrs. Cobalt the Dog mascots.
"Looks aren't everything," judge Colleen Belanger said.
What she said she was looking for in a dog's behavior was their ability to attend a public function, friendliness, calm and cool and a dog who wasn't too excited in crowds.
It was tough choosing one winner so this year Cobalt has two mascots in Mr. Memphis the Great Dane who is owned by Jodi Matton and Mrs. Lily the bulldog owned by Deanna Mathers both from Cobalt. Both owners were awarded $100 and will share the role of being Cobalt's mascot at various functions throughout the year and will open up Silverfest next year,
