Hopes to Nab a Doggie Dinner

Facts:

Cat food is not healthy for dogs to eat
Cat poop is not healthy for dogs to eat
Cat litter is not healthy for dogs to eat

So why do so many dogs love the stuff? For starters, it smells of cat: cat dander, cat urine, cat poop, and cat food. Let's face it, most of our Fidos will eat any protein you put in front of them. I know there are a few finicky pups out there, but they sure don't live at my house. So, let's get down to the business of stopping Woof from scavenging every inch of Meow's area for all things edible. Then, we'll move on to helping them live together happily.

Finally, let's give away some really big prizes. Are you with me? Okay. Meet me here tomorrow, and we'll go over the prize package....

Oh, heck! Let's go ahead and announce the prize giveaway right now. Might as well kick this series off with a bang. First, though, let me mention a more timely matter.

One of the sponsors of this nice prize giveaway is World's Best Cat Litter. They've started a campaign to give cat litter to kitty rescues--a noble cause indeed. You can help simply by voting for the cause at Give Litter. Each vote will provide a pound of litter to kitty rescues in the L.A. area. World's Best Cat Litter thanks you for your vote, and for helping kitties in rescue facilities.

Now, back to the goodies. Four prize packages will be given away at the end of this Woof and Meow series. Three of these packages will include the following:

A reusable tote bag stuffed with a bag of World's Best Cat Litter
A sample bottle of Hartz Nodor Litter Spray, with new odor encapsulating technology, to leave Meow's litter box smelling fresh and clean all day long.
Rachel Ray's Nutrish brand dog food sample
Each package will have a surprise as well--treats, Tshirts, books, or another goody for you, Woof or Meow.

(Drum Roll, please) And the Grand Prize, to be awarded to ONE LUCKY WINNER, is a Litter-Robot, the newest technology in automatic litter cleaning cat boxes:

Have fun checking out their website for information on how this new gadget works; it's really cool. You might even enjoy a sneak peek at this link: Litter-Robot Demonstration.

Toki Poki Pet Trading Cards Awarded....Who was a Winner?

Oliver is dancing! He's happy to announce the winners of the Toki Poki Drawing, and he's also celebrating his birthday. What a fun way to enjoy a happy day--giving away prizes.

Today's winners are: Mona, Karen, and Tammy. Each will receive a Toki Poki Tshirt, sample package of Toki Poki trading cards (complete with Oliver and Tanner's cards included!) and a sample of Nutrish dog food, by Rachel Ray.

If you missed last week's post about Toki Poki trading cards, you may enjoy reading up on this fun new way to social network for pets at this link. I think it's a perfect fit for kids of all ages.

Founder Christy Myre has lots of plans for games and children's activities on the Toki Poki site, so we hope you'll visit and enjoy meeting a few new furry friends. Be sure to look for Oliver and Tanner. They'd be hurt if you didn't stop in to say hello.

This morning's email included a birthday greeting from the folks at Toki Poki, just one of their little surprises. Oliver enjoyed helping me write back to Team Toki Poki to say thank you. We even told Toki about Oliver's party and the yummy treats. You missed it? That was so yesterday; you can read all about it at Happy Birthday Oliver!

Toki Poki Prizes

for Three Lucky Winners

I'll pop in a photo here of the goodies our winners are getting, so you can drool. That's okay though. Remember, in the dog world, Drool is Cool. To win our great prizes, you have to comment on FB, or the blogs. Don't forget about 5 Minutes for Fido; the dogs would be so sad.

Before I go, let me remind you that tonight's post will officially begin the Woof and Meow series. If you have both species in your home, there is good reason to keep tabs on this series--great information and huge prizes. Be sure to watch as this fab series unfolds, starting tonight. And a little P.S.: The prizes will be announced tomorrow. Be there or be square! Happy tails!
