CATS VS DOGS - THE WINNER

Standing undefeated from the beginning of time. Once a winner, always a winner. Vincent gloats in his fame and fortune.

VINCENT LAZY ON THE JOB?

It seems that the closer to the end of the campaign, the lazier Vincent got. Instead of his enthusiastic three legged shuffle, merow and purr to be picked up and loved - he'd sit and wait for his followers to come and be given the honor of petting him. I think all this winning year after year is really going to his head. Photo by Kerri Williams, Magpi Studios 540-760-2388 www.MagpiStudios.com

YOUNG AND OLD DUKE SCHMOOZED EVERY VOTER

Meanwhile Duke Thomas Peabody took his role seriously, very seriously. He greeted every visitor. Young and old they got the same treatment. He'd bow down and lick their hand when they promised him a vote. Photo by Kerri Williams, Magpi Studios 540-760-2388 www.MagpiStudios.com

SNUGGLES AND KISSES

DUKE SMELLS SOMETHING FISHY

Nearing the end of the campaign Duke just couldn't understand why so many votes kept coming in for Vincent, while Vincent lay there sleeping in the sun. Duke worked and worked, tirelessly and always cheerful. Vincent slept when and where he wanted to, was even heard being sarcastic to his supporters, and just flippantly expected everyone's vote.

Duke began to smell something fishy.

UNFAIR CAMPAIGN TACTICS

And then he uncovered some of Vincent's campaign managers. Could it be? Vincent got off on the credit card fraud charges. They never could match his paw prints to those on the phone when all that pizza arrived, double cheese, triple anchovies and hold all the veggies. Vincent kept pointing a paw at Little Rob who's well known for his appetite.

And every time someone would get serious about questioning Vincent about his campaign practices, he'd say oh sorry, was that me who just pooped on you? And his interrogators would run off to change.

DUKE AND VINCENT SEE EYE TO EYE

Vincent sets the tail right by offering a raw hide bone to every dog as a consolation prize. How quickly dogs forget what they're after and settle for a snack or a pet. "Not so us cats!!" says Vincent, "Is there a difference between curious and devious? Not in my thesaurus! Hey it ain't me who made up the saying Cats Rule, Dogs drool."
