TonTon Chooses
All the names of the people who put their names into the hat to win the little photo book of the Farmy were written on paper and balled up and popped into a basket.
The audience gathered – yawning. 
TonTon loves a good competition and decided that the paper balls needed a proper stir up before the choosing began.
The audience decided that was enough now. Time to choose.
TonTon is a good dog and leapt to the command – Gimme. He found a name immediately and brought it to me.
Tonton is a gentle fellow so he laid it at my feet gently.
I opened it for him and smiled to see that he had chosen the very first person to comment that day. Good boy. And we have a winner!! Congratulations!
Lovely Miss Aria send me your address and the little book of Farmy Pictures will be in the mail today, hopefully to reach you before Christmas. Congratulations!
Trouble has begun in the back of this shot. I hope Ton does not see- he does not like kittens, he thinks they make the place look messy.
Best I get those kittens busy with something else!
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farmy

Good boy Ton!
It looks like he is photo bombing a kitten shot.
I love the header shot of Ton, it has wisdom.
Congratulations Aria! I am thoroughly impressed with Ton’s abilities and his mixing skills.
Lovely funny photos!
Oh Ton is such a fella…..
You could fall forever into his eyes…
Best “Random Drawing” ever!
The air was thick with excitement! Congrats to Aria! I bet Ton would be good at picking the lottery balls for the drawings. Not only would he bring in extra cash but the drawings are in the evenings so he’d still be able to do his farmy chores. And he’d be famous! 🙂
PLUS he would get away from Boo for a night out! c
Fabulous method and execution! Good dog! Congrats to Aria!
I loved that! Congratulations Aria, may you have fun with the pictures while making up stories to go with each one!

I’ve borrowed one of those photos of Ton. Thank you, darling! xx
you are welcome sweetie!
The audience was thrilled with the performance! Good dog!
(C. Grannymar does bring up an idea you might consider. Reading specialists adore wordless books with high quality pictures – the pictures can be story starters/ topics to write about. Some have wipeable “primary school ruled lines” like a paper notebook so kids can write their thoughts or a story. Some used post-it type ruled sentence strips that were stuck at the bottom) ESL/bilingual teacher discovered the wordless big books (In front of the class sized. 2×3 or larger) are not only good for language acquisition, but also for motivating reluctant/ESL students to write. Product for preschool to high school if the pictures are of nature, animals, environment, occupations….There used to be a huge demand for high quality wordless books for schools. They were desperate for new/additional topics. I knew at least one small company doing this in addition to SRA/MacGraw-Hill/Edu publishers. Would take some effort, a website, and someone who has time to market them. Might be too much unless you can partner with someone. Not me – have interest, but not time!)
Did you bury a treat at the bottom of the basket to get him to upend it? Ton is such a dear, sweet dog. Congratulations Aria! Time for Boo to take over his nanny duties and Ton to get back to his outside animal surveillance duties.
No treats, first he just brought me the whole basket, so I put it back and told him to get one of the paper balls, that is when he decided to tip the whole lot over.. c
Aw, so sweet! Good boy Ton! 😀
Excellent draw. There’s nothing a kitten likes better than a bit of scrunched up paper – unless it’s someone’s knitting! Bravo Aria, the chosen one.
Love,
ViV x
Well done, Ton! ❤ And congrats, Aria!
I guess Ton knows one can’t herd cats! Congrats to Aria! Ton did an excellent job.
Ton is the best! Good boy! Congrats, Aria!
congratulations to Miss Aria, I do so hope that you will enjoy the Farmy Book…Ton Ton is extremely clever and his selection attributes are second to none…love to all xxxx
I love this sequence of how events unfolded. Hilarious! I knew TonTon would get the job done with no nonsense and no cheating. Congrats to you, Aria!
TonTon did an excellent job choosing the right person , congratulation!
This was fun, Miss C. Congratulations Aria! Ton needs a huge pet and rub!

The shot of Ton holding the winning piece of paper is priceless! He is amazing…you can just see the intelligence in his eyes! Congrats to Aria! Lucky lady!
That is soooo sweet.
Why thank you very much Ton and Miss C!
We will enjoy the book very much.
{ I normally show up here and comment as Marmepurl…not sure how or why I commented under aria3020 (my email) in the giveaway?! }
I knew though! But let it be. Thrilled to bits for you.. I will mail it asap, Really hoping it gets there before christmas.. the mail bottle necks at this time of year in all the new ‘centralised’ sorting sheds.. c
enchanting- I am moving and whittling down, had to hold my ready to order hand down! congrats to the winner!
Ton is a Good Dog 🙂 That was fun, and we all need fun! Congrats to Aria3020.
Sorrygnat told me that this was her favorite blog, which she reads every day. I can readily understand why. And now that I see the unbiased way in which the little book winner was selected, our National Lottery could well learn a lesson here at its weekly drawings.
This photo blog just made me smile. Great storytelling in photos.
How wonderful the Aria won! Especially knowing that she was the first to comment and join the competition! And well done Ton!!! Such a smart, fabulous dog!!! xo
Good TonTon! He’s such a trooper, turns his paw to any task….
I loved the photo series of the draw… it only added to the suspense! Ton Ton did well, as did lucky Aria.
Clver TonTon – wish they did the lottery draw like that 🙂
Congrats to Aria – and good job Ton Ton. 🙂
You Celi are just gorgeous .. I dream about being able to take photos like you do 🙂
you can, anyone can.. c
Congratulations Mamepurl: am certain everyone at your place will enjoy: and surely it should arrive by Christmas!! And Ton showed that if called upon he can manage indoor tasks as well as those outside: very professional effort 🙂 !
Fabulous job Ton! Dont think anyone else could have done it with such flair 😀
Congratulations Aria!
That’s how I used to pay my bills as a young photographer ( without the help of a dog). All the bills went in the hat,….first three picked got paid…..if I got hassled the bill didn’t even go in the hat:)
Adorable!
Oh, Miss C! This was wonderful.
Such a smart pup! 🙂
Oh well, that’s what I get for letting 750 emails accumulate in my blogger’s lists!
yikes.. c
What fun.
