4 Dog Books to 1 Good Home

Thanks to all the moms, grandmoms, teachers and friends who entered our childrens' book giveaway. This is sort of an experiment to see how many families out there are interested in reading dog stories to their young ones. It seems there is some interest. If you'd like to see more of these, leave me a comment with encouragement.


Next week, we'll take a break and offer a gift book, suitable for both kids and adults. Humor abounds as it will provide many a good laugh.


This week's winner, selected by Random.org, is Danelle. We hope your home is full of kids who will enjoy these books. Feel free to report back on your favorites. And most importantly, don't forget to send your address to AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Your package will arrive shortly. Happy reading!

Keep up the good work.

The way my readers responded to this giveaway, I may be able to skip taking pictures for my winners' posts. This is certainly quite a fun way to wrap up, don't you think?

Precious Seren Sends Her Plea!
I wish I could share all the photos here, but there simply is not time or space. Feel free to visit my Facebook page and scroll through, enjoying the scenery. Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway so energetically. I speak for NatureNosh and myself when I say, "We love your enthusiasm!"

Let's get down to business now and share some great organic dog treats with our deserving winners. Each recipient will receive a 4-pack of NatureNosh flavors for their dog to enjoy at home. The winning entries, drawn by Random.org, are: Anna Galanos, A. Jones, Joann, KelLani, C. Richman, and Cynthia. Congratulations to you all.


Your treats will be shipped by NatureNosh as soon as I receive all of your addresses, so please handle this ASAP. Send your shipping address to AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. If you're in Canada, you may want to include a phone number for the paperwork. This information will not be used for any purposes other than to ship your treats. No spam; that's our promise.

Lola's Bathtime

Check out Tiny Quorra
Bathtime really can be fun, when Fido is given the proper encouragement from a young age. A gentle massage and soft voice do wonders to relax and empower a dog to give water a chance. The Dogs Unleashed bath supply packages are a great start to making bathtime fun and easy for you and your pup. Remember, your dog will generally follow your lead when it comes to attitude. If you make it relaxing and enjoyable, it probably will be.


Before we move ahead with the prize winners' names, let's enjoy some of the delightful photos submitted by All Things Dog Blog readers this past week.

Skipper and Schooner
Continue to Entertain Us


Skipper and Schooner have bounced onto our radar with an adorable photo for many of our giveaways. They are delightfully fun duo of Vizslas that always have a fun message for our vendors. Thank to their owner for all her vigilant efforts to offer fun entertainment for us all.

Lola is Certainly Persistent


Lola's owner also seems to have an unending supply of photos and fun taglines--"Can we do it in the lake?". Tanner would love to join her. Shall we make it a date?


As much as I would enjoy sharing all the photos, I must get to the task at hand. Thank you ALL for your Tweets, Facebook posts, emails, photos and messages. I enjoy you all so much and product reviews are fast becoming a highlight of my week--sharing great products and seeing how you respond is a joy for me. Now it's time to spread that fun and give away some goodies. And there's even a surprise; I shorted you guys on the original prize listing. The good news is there is one extra tote bag with the delightful message screen printed on it: The More People I Meet, The More I Like My Dog.


Today's winning lineup of readers are as follows:
  1. 2 Bath Mitts and 2 dogbone-shaped sponges will find their home with Vicki B.
  2. 1 adorable "Ruff Life" Apron will be adopted by S. Gilbert.
  3. 2 endearing "I Like My Dog" totebags will be adopted by K. Mitchell and Lmurley.
  4. And finally, the 2 grand prize winners will receive the whole package: Tote Bag, Apron, Bath Mitts, Sponges, and a beautfully-embroidered Microfiber towel. These lucky winners are Cstironkat and Kathy (with Rory).
Congratulations to you all. Before you forget, be sure to send me your address to AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Your package will go out as soon as possible.

This was an exciting week and I'm thrilled that you all won fun prizes, while enjoying the process. For those of you who did not get lucky this time, feel free to keep trying. Your opportunity to purchase Dogs Unleashed products may be found at  these links at Petco and Amazon, and also at small boutiques all over the country. Let your fingers do the walking!
