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,
