Thank you all so much for joining in the fun of the GIVEAWAY for the Home Under the Dome, which I shared with you in the last blog post
I closed the Giveaway today, and then collected all the names. Each name was allocated a number based upon the order in which they entered their name into the GIVEAWAY.
These are the names, along with their allocated numbers: (where possible, I’ve added each name as a link to their own blog, so that you can go and visit them and perhaps make a new friend!)
- Watching the Daisies
- BC Parkison
- Crafty Boutique by Tam
- Invisibly Me
- Susie Shy45
- Gillyflower
- Soozyb2013
- Barbara Lindsey
- Chicken Grandma
- The Artisan Duck
- Mrs.Craft.
I then asked Mr.Google for it’s Random Number Generator, which it duly gave me, and I asked the RNG to pick the winning number from and including No.1 – up to and including No. 11. I clicked the ‘Generate‘ button, and it chose . . .
NUMBER 1 (ONE)!
So the WINNER OF OUR Home Under the Dome is [drumroll]. . .
~ Watching the Daisies ~
Daisies, I’m thrilled to be posting the Home Under the Dome to you. All I now need is your snail mail address so that I can post it.
I think you and I have emailed each other once before, so I’ll have a search through my emails to see if I can find your email address, and once found, I’ll drop you a note so that you can send me your snail mail address.
Many, many thanks to everyone for joining in. Giveaways make life just a bit more fun, and shines a bright spot in days.
There will be another Giveaway very soon …. but I won’t tell you when, or what for, or why. So keep watching … you really won’t have to wait too long. 😉
And tomorrow …. there is a blog post heading your way – (if I can get the darn photographs taken), – which I think will not only make you smile, but possibly even make you laugh out loud, and maybe even squirm and squiggle just a little. 😀 *Cobs – tsk tsk, that’s enough. Don’t give it all away!!*
But, for today, this glorious Sunday which has been gifted to us all . . . May your day be peace filled, touched with joy, and sprinkled with happy. May you leave any troubles outside the door until tomorrow, and may love fill your home and heart.
And … stay as awesome as I think of you as being. Because you truly, really are.
Much love and many squidges, from me in my corner to you in yours.
Congratulations, Daisies.
Thank you, Cobs for sponsoring this giveaway. It was fun to participate in the creation of this gift and share its journey with you all along.

Hello Soozy.
Yes, hot here too, and apparently going to get even hotter as the week goes by.
We’ll all be frazzled to a crisp.
We did have a downpour during the nighttime a few days ago, which I was eternally grateful for, but I think I’ve lost a small conifer and a couple of other shrubs. They’re replaceable, but sad to lose them.
Take very good care of you and Stan. Stay safe, cool and out of the hot hot sun.

Yes Cobs I will be there in the crispy well done part too! We do get similar weather, but we didn’t get that lovely rain 😦 Yes I am losing a lovely wee Japanese Green Maple, she is half done, but I am giving him good fertilizer and water every evening, so cross your fingers that he survives this week. I transplanted a big Maple from the garden bed to the front yard, it’s looking rather scraggly too, this is going to be a shade tree for my mobile when it gets bigger. It is only about 25′ tall at the moment and not very many leaves.
Stan is struggling today, didn’t have much of an appetite for the home cooked food, but was fine with store bought treats, so I’m guessing he is just being fussy. He has lost a bit more weight too, it concerns me, I just don’t want him to suffer at all, and because he has no eyes, I can’t tell whats going on inside there. We are keeping him hydrated, loved and wet if he needs to be. I am loving on him every day I have him. Last night was rather trying as he wasn’t settling like normal, pacing around the bedroom, so he was waking me every hour! Didn’t get a restful night at all.
Last night was the first night out of many that I didn’t have any aches when laying down, so I was smiling when I went to bed until Stan started with his pacing and me taking him outside thinking he would have to pee, but out of 6 times going out he only peed 2 times! Darn it anyway. Hoping for a better night tonight.
Thanks Cobs for caring.

Ohhhh Soozy, I’m so saddened to read about Stan not coping well. He’s really not doing well at all in this heat. Poor baby.
I wonder if perhaps a little trip to the vet, just for the vet to give him a once over. Check his heart and lungs, and perhaps you can squeeze some ideas out of him on how to keep Stan happier during this current heat wave. You never know, he may just come up with an idea or two that you hadn’t thought about.
I had a thought about him earlier. ….
When Little Cobs was just a toddler, we bought him a little blow up paddling pool – but it was very VERY low sided. Just had one thin blow up ring around the outside – which was there more to keep the water in.
Because it was so low … Little Cobs was fine about getting into it (of course, once Grammy had climbed in to show him that no one would disappear in the water. lol.
I wondered if Stan would find something like comforting and cooling. Because he’s a bit of a puffing and snorting chap, you might have to put him in and get him out again … but a little dip in very shallow water might help.
But the vet … I reckon your vet would be able to help, and also able to tell you how Stan is doing on the inside as well as the outside.
Sending love to you, and a squidge to Stan. ~ Cobs. xxx

Yup we got the pool, we got the cold wet towel (if needed) and you can always use alcohol on the feet.
I had him to the vet yesterday for a weigh-in and he is losing. That concerns me. He eats well but to increase his food means possible spike in his blood sugars. Can’t win for losing. He insulin is going to have to be increased again, his sugars are in the 30’s and they should be around 11 to be good. We are trying and it does take a long time to get to the plateau. Flat faced dogs have never done well in the heat. He is asleep on the cold floor at the moment.
Thank you for your kind response and your ideas. Great ones too, but we beat you to it. 🙂 lol

Hello lovely Daisies!
Aw I’m tickled pink that you’re happy to be the winner.
I was stunned when the Random Number Generator picked No.1 – not because it was you, but because I always had this belief that being the first of last on the list was probably the very numbers which wouldn’t be chosen. You being No.1 and the number chosen kicks my thoughts totally out of the window!
But … it makes me ULTRA happy to know that it really is a fair random number picker, and every single number has exactly the same chance with it. YAHOO!
I’ve been visiting all day, but I’ll be going and checking through my emails in a few minutes, so if I have it, I’ll email straight away. If I don’t, then I’ll put another reply here to you, so that we can get things going.
Many Congratulations Daisies. 😀 Tickled pink for you.

Aww, I noticed that your name was missing, but I guessed that perhaps you just didn’t want this particular Home under the Dome so didn’t enter.

It is a bit bigger than I really need though! so pray for me to know what to do please!! would love your thoughts. love your rabbit!

Dearest Rabbit.
Firsly … the cottage that has just come onto the market.
Is it smaller than the Rabbit Patch you currently live in?
Have you been inside it? It could be a wreck inside, so don’t fall too deeply in love or you could feel flattened out and despondent if it’s not up to scratch when you get in there.
Does it have enough rooms for overnight/weekend stayers – or even for a week(s)?
Is the dining room big enough for your brood to all crowd around for Christmas, Thanksgiving etc etc?
You could book a viewing and make sure you take your note pad with you on which you have all the necessary things you want from a cottage.
It’s ok to be flexible on some things – no property will ever be perfection – so being flexible on some things is a given. But … you will have things that aren’t a movable feast (so to speak) and which you require – such as enough bedrooms. Or an open fire (perhaps). Place to park your car. On a transport route. Or … well anything that YOU know HAS to be in your new home.
Tell you heart to go on beating, but that it has to leave the initial viewing and thinking up to your brain.
Once your brain has done the checks, then you can allow your heart to fall just a little bit in love. But wait for the fully in love until the property guy has done all the checks. It the cottage passes the test …. FALL IN LOVE WHOLE HEAD, HEART AND SOUL!
Never mind about missing this Giveaway …. there will be another soon. And others.
I went to your blog at midnight last night to find out what I’d missed. I’ve left you some messages. But don’t fuss over them. Time is precious and painting jobs and cleaning that cottage of yours comes first.
Sending much love and buckets of squidges ~ Cobs. x ❤
p.s. Praying for you Rabbit. Always. xxx

the cottage has all of what you knew I needed. It is not nearly as big as the rabbit patch, but it is bigger than I was considering. However it really is a good size, for it would allow guests and who knows but maybe my older family members may need to come-That does mean so much to me. I have seen a video and read a description which lists facts. I have loved this place for almost three years-the location is perfect. I plan to do a actual visit inside too. Oh well, God shut the last door and He may shut this one. This is not the only one I am looking at, but oh it is a favorite. Time will tell . . it always does. Thank you for listening to my rambling, You really know me well . . that means so much. love your rabbit

Love you Rabbit. Won’t stop praying until this whole procedure is done and dusted.

Aw it was an easy mistake to make – probably because Soozyb’s name on the list is all in black when the rest of the names are in red. That’s because everyone else has a blog and I made all the names into clickable links. Sadly Soozy doesn’t have a blog, so I couldn’t make her name into a link.
