Re: [bomberZ] Malaysia Dog Olympic Day 2007, May 27, Central Park, Bandar Utama

I'll just wade in here to say that my dog and I enjoyed ourselves and that we thank puppy.com for organising this event.
But the games thing could have been better organised. I agree that it is unfair to fish a hitherto unseen rule out of the hat to cook the results. This reflects very poorly on the games committee and I find your attempts to justify the committee's decisions very lame. And I think it is very bad of you to cast aspersions on the way Pet n U organise their events.
My dog and I took part in the first event and bagged a prize, and the prize winners for that and a couple of other events were called to the ring to take the prizes at about 10 am. I walked over to the ring. Nothing happened. I then learnt from someone with a puppy.com t-shirt that they'd all given up getting the prize winners to collect the pizes. In the end, the prizes were given out at about 1 pm. Mun Yee and Groovy were hot on our heels during the second lap of the race and came in second. But only the first and third prizes were given out. I didn't stay to ask why they didn't come to collect their prize.
I think one of the problems was you had competition from the Purina 30-day challenge thing. For a long time all I could hear over the PA system was the disc jockey from some radio station. The announcements from the ring where the games were held were completely drowned out.
The last time there was such an event, prize winners were asked to hang around immediately after each game and we were then very quickly shepherded into the ring to receive our prizes. This wasn't done last Sunday.
Arún and I look forward to the next puppy.com event and we hope the committee will take on board some of these criticisms. We're not interested in the prizes - Arún eats home-cooked meals a lot of the time and when she does get kibble now and then, it's not Purina. But we would find it much more congenial if everything was fair and everybody can have a lot of fun without things turning sour in this way.
All best.
