How is it greedy if you wish to treat your dogs?
I have won 2 KP mini footballs which delights me as my 2 little terrors can have one each now.
My pups also love cuddly toys, they come running in with them after their tea, and bring them to us when we have been out, and often sleep with their heads resting on them like little pillows..:o
If I won a puddle pup I would then certainly go on to try and win another so that again they could have one each. (So long as it wasn't against any T&Cs)
I just don't feel I could give to one and not the other, I treat them exactly the same.
Just the same as those who have more than 1 child.... as some peoples dogs ARE their children hun.
Also very touching - I noticed a lot of people on here won more than one...but went on to donate those to children less fortunate.
However I am not having a go or anything, I wish you all the best and have my fingers crossed that you do win one eventually

Sometimes it can be frustrating to see others winning lots of the same prize when you didn't win one yourself but others have said if the comp is still open you may well have won one too, they take a while to be sent so sit tight and keep those fingers crossed.
I would have loved one fo my daughter, and entered for her, if one turns up she will be delighted if not then I wouldn't have paid it another thought. The rules state one per person, and as long as the rule is kept to it should be up to the winner whether dog, child or charity receives them.
Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you

GREEDY! 


I don't think it's greedy. All's fair in love and comping in my opinion
By the way, I didn't enter the Puddle Puppy competition because I didn't think my kids would really want the prize but I just have now so if I win one I'll post it to you (comping fairy has been kind to me the past few years so you never know;))
You might still get one yet anyway
Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

Sorry to bring this up (next paragraph) but it is really wrong to call people Greedy when you dont know the circumstances, a few people called me greedy for winning multiple times on one comp, they didn't realise I gave most of the prizes away to people on here, I had a knack with the comp and quite a few people benefitted from it. Please don't judge anyone like you have done

How is that any different? I know a few people had a lot of trouble and still are trying to get koala's and yet you just give yours to your dog. It's up to you what you do with your prizes, just like it's up to everyone else what they do with theirs

Thank you to all who post on the comps/freebies forums you've helped us save our deposit :money:0 -
I do wish some of you people would take the time to actually read instead of jumping the gun! hahahaha
I sated that it was fine if you had more than one child 'hun'
and yes i won a koala for my puppy, no problem in that. The point i am making is after i have won one i have not gone back on the competition to win another one just for winnings sake, i leave them for other people to have the chance to win.
TO CLARIFY, I AM ONLY AIMING AT THOSE WHO ARE WINNING THE PUDDLE PUPPIES JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, WINNING TIME AFTER TIME AND NOT LEAVING ANY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO WIN ONE.
THANK YOU!May: HTC HD2 Smartphone, Rimmel summer goodie bag, Koala Bear, So?...Deodrant, Bic Razor, where the wild thing are DVD, Puddle Puppy, falsies mascara, benefit badgal mascara, jergan naturals moisteriser, puppy goody bag

I think you might be taking this a bit personally.
Surely we all enter these comps "for the fun of it".
I want to win lots of prizes that others do but i dont see it as my "right" to do so.
Is that not what the fun in comping is waiting to see if your lucky?
I also think your being a bit judgemental.
You dont actually know what people are doing with their puppies.
If i was lucky enough to win duplicates of prizes there are lots of children, friends I know who would love me passing on my extras.
Maybe if you had just asked the other winners if they would be willing to pass one on instead of attacking them you would get a better response?"Opportunity only knocks once.It doesnt knock, knock again, then leave a note asking you to give it a call back when you've got your s*** together".John Connolly0 -

In the words of the Rolling Stones , and as I constantly tell my children......... You can't always get what you want !
Don't think anyone was trying to be mean to you but your comments seemed to be aimed at other individuals who had posted photos of their wins & sounded like quite a personal attack and just bad feeling to me . There is still time for you to recieve a puddle puppy yet as the comp hasn't actually ended.samanthalvsben wrote: »Yes But I Have Seen Photos of people winning four and just giving them to the dogs etc
Competitions are just that Hun. If you are meant to win you will !
