Photo by AstaThank you Asta and friends for this nice special award to the Mango.
WOW! I can't believe its over already. Mango Minster was a huge success and I am already using my large and powerful Mango brain thinking about next year. We had 110 Count Test Ants! I am soooo glad that I didn't have to judge.
First I want to thank every doggie, kittie, hammie, and human who entered, voted, judged, left comments, or just watched from the sidelines. You made it all worthwhile.
To my esteemed judges, Eduardo, Dennis, Lacie, Kylie, Joe, Bolo, Penny, Poppy, and Patches, and, of course, Khyra...
A great job by all judges. The Mango could have never been as impartial as you.
NOTE TO ALL WINNERS: I might not be able to work on your certificates of achievement and prizes for a bit due to the fact the Momma was most disturbed by the state in which I left the dog cave...
She was also less than enthusiastic about this thoughtful gift I bought her. I figured given all the HBO words I have heard lately about the HTMLs this past week she would be overjoyed.
Perhaps since Momma learned to talk computer by scribing 1's and 0's on stone tablets in something called assembly language, she is put off by these "new-fangled" ways of speaking.Momma wants to thank Asta, Lacie, and Petey's mom's for their assistance with behind the scenes photos and helping her overcome her separation anxiety whilst I was busy with the show.
Here is a list of all winners along with helpful links to their bloggies. Please stop by and congratulate them.

To wind down from the excitement, I indulged in a most yummers meaty bone.
As did Pee-Wee...
Followed by a well deserved bake on my Observation Deck.
So until next year...
Mango Man!
Oh yeah!
P.S. It has come to my attention that some of you were actually wondering where Pee-Wee has been during the past week. Never fear! I assigned him a very important wood carving project to keep his midget brain entertained whilst I was otherwise occupied.
The morning he couldn't wait to show me the finished product.
Not bad for a first effort, but I, Mango helped put some finishing touches on it. I think I will call it "Bad Sporty Dork"

Oh Mango...my muzzer learned that 1/0/11/0 language toooooo. Last year I got her a book called "Blogging for Dummies" She did not appreciate that either. Human females, I just can't figure them out.
Thanks to you and your Mom for this wonnnerful, wonnerful contest

Hi Mango!
You have earned some super sized meaty bones and a vacation in Hawaii! What a tremendous amount of work you did. But it was well worth it since Mango Minster was fabulous!
Oh, about that computer desk. I think it looks fine. What could possibly be wrong with it? It's perfect!
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
Mango, I wish to offer my congratulations on the success of MangoMinster. You managed to make Westminister look like a bag of bad kibble !
Cheers and onward to 2010!
Stella
We are really hoping your Mom figures it all out and then teaches our Mom all the ins and outs of this stuff.
Looks like woo got a good rest in and had time and energy for a tasty bone.
That's quite the woodworking project woo guys did there.
Once again, great job to Mango and all your helpers for a very fun time.
Tail wags, the OP Pack
mango & pee-wee you were awesome
What a great time! But I think the peewee needs some art lessons. Thank goodness HE wasn't tasked with making the awards!
wally t.
Thanks for a great competition Mango! For next year, I am working on an array of disguises so I can enter every single category and not get caught.

We had so much fun participating and watching for your daily posts! What a lot of work, thanks so much for doing this. Maybe one day the GIANT SCHNAUZERS won't win all the non-Mango dog shows (hehehehehehehehe did you SEE the Giant "Spirit" at Westminster?) and then Madison'll be a contender ... in the meantime ... she is primping ... MUAHHHHHHHHH ...
Hi, Mango...
Thanks sooo much for doing this...It was sooo much fun...
Your Mom must be exhausted...
It looks like Dexter kept himself occupied while you & your Mom were busy...
Abby xxxooo
Ww, Mango, that was a great show! Maybe next year our dad wont let us down and we can enter!
PEEEEWEEEEEEEEEE...Oh, I missed you sweetest Dexter...(Lacie peers at Dexter from underneath her rapidly batting lashes....) That amazing artwork you carved on your observation deck??? OMD...it's totally fab! That belongs in a museum!!!!!
So you mom is already planning Mangominster 2010??? And this is NOT being called Dexterminster because why????
Frankly we're thinkin' ur mom might need a decade long breakie....
Give my Lakie love to Mango...I suppose he and MJ are going out this weekend...Harumph...I mean how nice.
Love ya lots, Dexter...
Laciegirl
Mango you did the best job ever on Mango-Minster!! We are so honored to be a part of it. Did you check the labradork's tongue for splinters.
Awesome good time Mango, thanks! Moose is going into training for next year which he is convinced will be the year of the labradog!
P.s. I see Pee Wee still has his shark teeth!
The Mango Minster has been the best show I've known!
Thanks a lot!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Hi Mango! I couldn't stop myself from giving you one last shout-out today - what an incredible job you did! I'm so glad you're planning a Mango Minster 2010. Zeke and I can't wait!

Get some rest mango....you deserve it! That HTML book was a very thoughtful gift but oh how my Mom's head would be spinning....all that stuff greatly confuses her. At least your Mom has a little background for it. ;) Thanks again for a great competition!!
Kisses,
Nala

Hi Mango,

You did a fabulous job, Mango! MangoMinster was more fun and more smiles and more laughs than Westminster! They could sure use some tips from you!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
All those OTHER dog shows could learn a lot from you, Mango! MangoMinster has been waaaaaaaaaay more fun! We were honored to be a small part of it and we hope Momma de Mango recovers in time to do it again next year! Now, go get some rest!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Well done for all the hard work. We were really impressed by just how much thought and humour went into the whole event.
love
Martha & Bailey xx
Mango!
You are the beast of beasts, man! What a mammoth undertaking Mango Minster was, and you pulled it off with style and pizazz! You deserve more than the recognition you've already received, and I think you also deserve a nice long meditation vacation with your girl, MJ!
Thanks for a blast of a week. We loved competing, cheering our buddies on, meeting new pups, and just basking in the comraderie of the show. WestMinster could take a few pages out of your book, buddy! Just don't let them scoop you up to reconfigure their show for them. We need you back next year!
Tell the labradork we love him & missed him too, but were not afraid for his welfare. We figured he was doing double duty with your mama while she was suffering from M.W.S. (Mango Withdrawal Syndrome)!
Goober love & smooches,
STanley
Congratulations to you and your mom for a show well-run, Mango!
It was a great show & I enjoyed watching all the winners win! Can't wait for the next show next year & this time, I will not be late for it.
Butt sniffs,
Solid Gold Dancer
You put on a great show Mango. I does not know how your head did not do explodings from it all! Good work Peewee!
~lickies, Ludo
Mango RH,
You deserve all the plaudits for assembling and managing the amazing team!!!
Next year in New York!!!We'll be there or be square. Oops, we are square. So change that to we'll be there and be square!!!
Wirey woofs,
Jake and Just Harry
Hi Mango
Thanks for hosting such a great competition. It was fun to enter and watch from the sidelines.
Congrats to Waldo and all the other winners.
Love Ruby & Penny
Mangominster was a great event. I hope you are getting lots of rest now that it is over. It is a big job to be the show chairman and especially having to keep all those wacky terriers in line. You and your momma deserve lots of thanks,
Your friend,
Niamh
It sure was a big success Mango. Thanks for organising it buddy. Next year I'm going to make sure the pinkies put more thought into our photos.....sigh.

Just a PAWSOME show! You did a wonderful job and kudos to your Mom too! I wonder why she didn't like your present?? I'm sure you were just trying to be helpful... Oh jeesh, Pee-wee went and did it! Mango, you steer your brother wrong?? I never would have believed it! BOL BOL Glad he had fun swimming!
Licks,
Kylie
Congrats! You topped a mountain of competition.
MangoMinster was the BESTEST most PAWSOME Dog Show ever with all the different breeds that you don't normally see represented. That Hamsterrior was pretty interesting. Mom promises that next time we won't miss it no matter what!
Give your Mom BIG sloppery kisses for doing such a wonderful job. It was a BIG job and lots of work, I'm sure, but it sure gave us all a lot of fun and introduced us to so many new friends!!!
Thanks again Mango-Mom and you huge hunk of Handsomeness, Mister Mango!!! Love, OC, Dott, BG, Sadie and Linda (OC's Mom)
Mango Man! Oh Yeah! Please tell Wild Dingo there will be another Mango Minster.... Please. we want to judge or enter or be silly. maybe we need a silly group... Mango Man! Oh Yeah! A silly group!
