Congratulations, Finnegan. You’re Edenton’s Week Two Top Dog, and what a race you and Nubby gave us.
Good morning, Edenton. If you turned in early Thursday night, let’s take you back to just before midnight. Finnegan held the lead, but only by about seven votes. Seven votes, folks. Anybody who’s ever tried to slip past a sleeping dog knows how little room that gives you.
Then the clock struck twelve. The votes came pouring in for Finnegan, and they kept coming into the wee hours of Friday morning. Finnegan opened up his lead and earned his place in the winner’s circle. Somewhere in Edenton, somebody was still wide awake and voting. Some dogs don’t sleep.
Today also belongs to Louie, our Week One champion, who’ll collect his first-place ribbon and a batch of custom dog biscuits from Bayside Bakery and Boards. Louie had a word of encouragement for our runner-up, which we’ll translate loosely from the original bark. “Keep your chin up, Nubby. You were so close at midnight, I’ll bet Finnegan could hear your tags jingling.”
Now it’s Week Three. The votes reset, and if Nubby’s voters stay loyal, Nubby could be the favorite to pull ahead. We’ll have to see. And if your favorite finished farther down the standings, this is your chance to change the story. Pick the face you’d like to see wearing that ribbon, cast your vote, and give a friend a nudge to vote, too.
You can vote right now on the Edenton Social Light’s Dog of the Week page. Join us at five for the daily standings. Have a good week, Edenton, and don’t forget to vote.
