I know, I know, you want to go straight to the video. I can’t blame you. It’s awesome. But I need to explain a few things first, so hold your horses. I mean dogs. You’ll want to hear about the fun and the prizes.
First the fun. After viewing the video, you need to chose the baaaadest mother puppy in town. Steve? Dexter? You decide and vote by commenting on this blog post (comments on other posts won’t count). Whichever Yorkie loses has to concede that the other one is the baddest by praising him on Facebook and Twitter and — … really, whatever the winner chooses — for an entire week. Polls close on Sunday April 3 at midnight, EST. On Monday, I’ll post the winner — and the penalty he’s decided to impose on his worthy opponent.
Now the prizes, a choice of personalized collar or harness from Gangs of New Yorkie AND a custom portrait by Dexter’s Ruff Life — click on the links to their blogs for details about the goodies and also, on Gangs of New Yorkie, for bios of the two contenders for the title of Baddest Yorkie. Your vote in the comment qualifies you for the prizes. Like the vote, the contest closes at Sunday April 3, at midnight EST. I’ll choose the winner at random on Monday, April 4, and post that information too.
May the best — I mean the worst — dog win!
#1 Voted for Steve. I like his South side attitude :O
#8 Edie–just watched the video and tried to vote; it tells me “You Had Already Voted For This Poll. Poll ID #6” — know I did not vote on this before.
#2 Such a battle royale, both contestants really brought their A game and you could really feel the energy. However… when Steve started to verbally attack Piggie, Dexter’s true colors started to show through and you could that Dexter would fight to the ends of the earth (or end of the couch) to defend those that he loves. Steve you’re great but I think that this is a younger pup’s game.
#3 Great rap battle! Dexter is the dude. Sorry Steve!
#4 I tried to vote and it says i had already voted…..I was number 6??????
#55 Gotta go with Dex….
#5 Dexter, I tried to vote for you and it said I had already voted…I had not voted!
Just saw this video early this morning.
The contest is rigged my dear buddy.
#6 hey not sure if poll is working, tried to vote and it said I already did….
#7 I had to vote for Dexter, sorry Steve but see Dexter has been my Gal Friday’s main man for awhile now and when she says I have to vote for him well I don’t argue.
#9 Not sure your poll is working. I tried to vote and it said I already had. :o(
#10 I voted for Steve but got this message: You Had Already Voted For This Poll. Poll ID #6.

#12 My vote is for dexter, was close but gotta give it to the ruff life

My vote is for Steve – he just seems tougher. Plus, that tie + all the dollar bills = I laughed out loud at work!!
