“We know we have a worthy story to tell,� Goehring said. “We have a shelter that’s very much in need.� All American Pet Brands officials notified Goehring of Miss Ellie’s move to the semifinals on Monday afternoon. As of 1 a.m. Tuesday, the public was no longer able to cast its votes. “We got discouraged because we didn’t know people could still vote (before it closed) and show their support,� Goehring said. “Dogs that had gaming and network sites were able to get the word out with one click. People like us were at a disadvantage.� Miss Ellie’s fan can still visit the Web site (at www.cutestdogcompetition.com), click on the “Blogs� application and write comments of support. Goehring believes the voting was closed because of several negative comments made on the site. “There was a lot of mudslinging. (The contest officials) stopped the negativity and made it about the dogs again,� she said. Fee and Goehring said they plan to make an announcement in the next few days about how the community can continue to help Miss Ellie — and the humane society — nab the grand prize. “We have a few creative ways we think we can end up on top and win this contest,� Fee said. In the meantime, Miss Ellie, who Goehring affectionately calls her “million dollar baby,� is being pampered, enjoying all of her favorite foods. “For the sake of the Humane Society, Miss Ellie and I have gone all out,� Goehring said. “This is my passion.� E-mail updates on Miss Ellie’s progress in the contest can be received by signing up at the bottom of The Comedy Barn’s Web site (www.comedybarn.com).

around children, wonderful around other animals,� said Cherokee’s owner and HABIT volunteer Suzie Ferguson. “I love Schatzie (fellow German Shepherd and Cherokee’s half-sister) just as much, but Cherokee will always have a special place in my heart. He was truly the community’s dog.� Clark read a poem during the ceremony about Cherokee,
the 2009 recipient of the Tennessee Veterinary Medical Association’s Professional Award. Hayward told the children that one day they could tell their grandchildren about the lovable dog to which they read. Student Emily Smith presented Ferguson with a plaque commemorating the memorial service. “We love you and we love Cherokee,� Clark told Ferguson.
