Concession

Although it pains us to say it, Xena was not crowned Homecoming Queen, losing in the end to Lola. However, her running mate Rocco Charles Velociraptor has become King, which surely is the reason why Xena got a sweet admission into the Royal Court. (We're confident Rocco will give her an important role... perhaps Secretary of Steak?)

Thank you to everyone who voted for her. All in all, about $4,700 were raised to help the shelter just from the King/Queen contest.

But wait... there's more!

Xena, in her first public performance of all time, attempted an advanced version of her famed "hold a treat on your nose" trick -- a trick so advanced, she had never even attempted it before. With an audience of dozens watching eagerly, holding their breath in anticipation, Xena remained cool as an arctic surpy as she balanced one, then two, then three... then FOUR potato chips on her nose, simultaneously.

Never before had she gone beyond just a single treat on the nose.

And the crowd went WILD. Ok... mostly it might have been Ronda, but it was still awesome and the judges were impressed. They awarded Xena with Best Dog Trick!

Of course... now we'll never hear the end of it.

That's all for the Xena campaign. Thanks again for all of your help and donations!

Peace, love and beware teh Kitten Mafia.
