For swallowing fellow competitors & holding them in rivers. Really, you can't be much worse of a teammate then that!

As for evicting all the dogs, what's up with this!? These dogs have helped smell out what little there is to eat during this competition - what do you expect us to do when they're gone?

Well, the obvious answer is to eat the dogs.

Hot Dogs!

But I want to leave the dogs alone today. And Tuor has made a convincing argument...

We don't need any Archie Bunker imitators here.

It is indeed difficult these days to avoid any stigma of anti-animal bias. If we forego cats and dogs, we still have dragons and bears to deal with.

In short, I suggest we for the time placate these domesticated carnivore lovers and consider how felonious was the act in which Archie engaged. Imagine! A bear--not, not one, not two, but three bears--hijacking an automobile! Admittedly the driver was a short a cylinder or two, but who can trust a bear who takes over the road? Especially now that the end of hibernation season is upon us.

In short, I suggest we urgently run off the road:

++ Archie

And I know just the ladies we can call on to carry out our carnage:

PS. Old Man Willow is so misunderstood!

Yep, all less than five of them.

p.s. No time to get an exact count.

A bear, not a dog, fell on day twenty-four:

Archie: 4 votes

Moon-dog: 3 votes

Old Man Willow: 2 votes

And so, Archie was shot and mounted above the fireplace.

Day the Twenty-Fifth finds 20 remaining contestants -- and among them are exactly 2 dogs:

The Major Minor Works

Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
Gram, his dog
Chrysophylax Dives
The Parson
Master Cook Rider
Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie
Smith of Wootton Major
Nell
Queen of Faerie
Niggle

The More Minor Minor Works

Goldberry
Badger
Old Man Willow
Goodman Maggott
Fíriel
The Wizard Artaxerxes
Moon-dog
Mr. Day
Teddy
Bruno

Well, Steven Colbert should certainly be happy with
the results of the latest eviction.

And with no bear to climb up it (although the dogs might
find it useful) perhaps it is time to remove the evil tree.

*cough cough* Don't go forgetting about this amongst all the Wereduck excitement, now.

On the off-chance that they do...
