Yet again, nothing too surprising on the left side of the bracket. I've got to admit though, I'm pretty sad to see Wishbone go. I learned about so many great works of literature from him...who knew that so many Dickens novels feature dogs as their main character? Anyway, it'll be pretty interesting to see what happens in the next round when Lassie/Benji and Snoopy/Scooby Doo go head to head.

On the other side of the bracket, things went predictably unpredictably. Our 16 seeds are still clawing their way through the competition, but we finally got Cujo voted out of there. Our bracket is now fully cute and not scary at all. Except I guess that Old Yeller gets kinda scary by the end. But will Old Yeller be scary enough to beat Clifford in the next round? Probably not. You guys really seem to love Clifford. I will honestly never understand.
