We’ve heard of famous duos: Laurel & Hardy, Abbot & Costello, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Or trios like “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
So what would you name this group of lions: Panting, Drooling, and Licking?
Today’s post is actually number 800! Not 8 or 80, but 800! I’ve been doing this a long time. Thank you to all the readers out there who have joined me in this journey.
As a thank you, today’s post has a contest element. The best trio of names for the lions will win a prize: a digital (ebook) copy of one of my books–you get to choose. If you live in the continental US, I can send you a paperback instead, if you’d prefer. Contest ends on March 30 at midnight PST. My neighbors Karen and David will be the judges (both talented writers and lovers of Venice).
I hope you send lots of entries and ideas! Send some love, too! Writing 800 blog posts is some sort of achievement and worth celebrating.
March 31: The judges have ruled….and the winner is: Harpo, Groucho, and Chico! Thanks to all contestants. Valerie, I’ll be in contact so you can choose your prize–one of my books!

Kathy,
Congratulations on your 800th post! That’s quite a milestone and I can’t wait till 1000! After 1000 all your loyal readers should chip in and send you to Venice to celebrate.
Here are my names. Hope its OK to send two entries.
Larry, Moe and Curly
Huey, Dewey, and Louie (3 Disney ducks)
Best wishes,
Vince
You’re going for the historic / comedic references! Thanks for being the first entry to kick off the contest.
The other challenge: Where are these lions?
Haha! That’s quite challenging. I saw them on one of my wanderings in the city from a few years ago and now have no idea! Maybe one of the readers out there knows their location? I have a vague recollection that they might be near S M Formosa….
