congrats ardy, nad, and blitz!!

ty so much for the shout out for Frank Jr!! 

i'm also so sorry to hear about basco, he looked like such an energetic happy pup ❤️❤️❤️

Well, what a week guys! And here we are entering week six of the competition, just two weeks to go! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter and ate lots of Easter eggs, not that The Hot Bunch will let me have any of course, something about them being bad for me. I bet they said that just so they could keep them all to themselves!
 
The Hot Bunch have been on fire this week, with an outstanding performance in the Easter Egg Hunt, although I heard a few bad words coming from City’s computer as she spent hours looking for them. Thank you BV we really enjoyed that one!  City and Mame played a rousing game of Bingo, snagging a few big prizes, while Rosa muttered something about “having to work so I can pay these bills.” I don’t know what that means, but I know The Hot Bunch and I missed her greatly!
 
The Hot Bunch have had a fantastic week setting up the clubs, although I am feeling a little bit neglected this week, but they assure me I am the centre of attention again this week. So you might wanna check out the following clubs for some great weekly competitions:
 
Agility

Herding

Hound

Hunting

Mutt

Mythical

Non-working

Obedience

Toy

 Working

Breed Ambassadors

Pet Phenomena

Barnyard

Speaking of competitions, more clues have been released for the Animal Hunt, so get your entries in quick to ensure your entry into the massive prize draw.
 
No weekly roundup would be complete without some massive shoutouts to my fellow competitors.
 
Lets start this week with a shout out to Eneru, a beautiful Greyhound owned and trained by Kayla Gayle in the no tixs, no shows category. He is an absolutely stunning dog with the most beautiful coloured coat. But what else could you expect from a dog out of Kayla Gayles kennel!
 
Next we have Isla Sorna, the Jurassic Paint Mare owned and trained by Nadhima and Nekeneke in the no tixs no shows category. As the famous Isla Sorna once said, she’s an adventure 65million years in the making! We wish Isla and her beautiful trainers the best of luck!
 
Next up on our weekly roundup shout out list is Lex, a stunning boxer owned and trained by Iceberg in the dog tixs and shows category. I have it on good authority that he due for a dangerous liaison with another mascot entry, Trixie. Oh, what wonderful magic those two will make!
 
Last, but certainly not least is Aspen, a female Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, owned and trained by the The Collective (PCA) in the no tixs no shows category. Hot on our heels with training, we know that Aspen is one to watch out for!

A shoutout to my birthday girl Rox

A little birdie tells me that Mame forgot it was her birthday yesterday and as it's her 11th birthday, I've decided she can celebrate today too to make up for Mame forgetting.

Hope you got some lovely new toys and treats Rox.

Welcome to the penultimate week of the Mascot Contest. It is so strange to think that we embarked on this crazy contest seven weeks ago and here we stand, heading into the final week. We’ve had some crazy times The Hot Bunch and I, moments of extreme highs, and moments of wondering, but together we built a stronger team, and that’s what this competition is about right? Win or lose, I know The Hot Bunch and I will be friends forever!

This week the lovely ladies competed in the word search competition for some epic points, and City won extra points with Mangos Epic Quest. Backstories were due this week, I really hope that you enjoyed reading mine! The Hot Bunch have worked hard to have some epic competitions in their clubs, and I have it on good authority that new contests have been added this week.

Speaking of contests, the Epic Hunt closed yesterday, and I am pleased to be able to announce the winner and runner up.

Your 2021 Epic Hunt Winner is: Tifi

Your 2021 Epic Hunt Runner Up is: Blitz!

And a final thought or two of mine to round out the weekly roundup. With the weather getting warmer, don’t forget guys about fire safety and these valuable charities that I am now working with.

California Community Foundation

The Center of Disaster Philanthropy

The Red Cross Wildlife Relief Charity

And remember, win or lose, you have all done an amazing job and you really should be proud of yourselves.

Woweee - thanks guys.  Congrats Blitz.

I've loved what you've all done with THTH - it's been a crazy but fun few weeks.

And that’s a wrap! Eight weeks, tons of mini challenges, nights of staying up late and training, and it all boils down to this, the end of the mascot competition! So, this is, of course, my last weekly roundup (I am so sorry that it is late, the one they called City fell asleep last night and had an impromptu nap on the couch!)

Over the last few weeks, we’ve met all the other contestants and I’ve shared some of my innermost thoughts and feelings. I hope that you have enjoyed getting to know me better and participating in the many competitions that The Hot Bunch have run. Actually, speaking of competitions, we have one left to announce, the Which Hot Bunch Member Are you Contest! (And I have it on good authority there is an awesome video featuring the amazing Subrosa that you may find here)

And our winner is…

SWIRLEY!

But its not just our contests, but those that are part of the official mascot contest, such as Mascot Scramble, Mascot Costume Contest, to bingo evenings and Pant’s many, many, activities that have brought as closer as a team and helped us to create the legend that is Too Hot To Handle.

The support The Hot Bunch, Amph and I has received is beyond anything I could ever imagine, and I wish all the other mascots the very best of luck. And of course, I could not have done this without The Hot Bunch. Each of them bringing a unique skill to the team to help Amph and I be the best that we could be. But now its up to you, to vote, vote, vote! Of course, you don’t have to vote for me, but I would super appreciate it if you do!
