My Tired "Camper"
Apparently dog beds are a hot item. I just had no idea! When I took on the Pet Lifestyle and You bed review, I had not prior experience with reviewing dog beds. Tanner was definitely pleased to take over this new job. He's been caught in several compromising positions this week, which I have promised not to share on the blog. Let's take a quick peak at his first nap here; he's half off the bed, but obviously quite relaxed!


Speaking of fun photos, our readers really rocked my email this week. I received a total of 40 photos with great captions and fun-loving messages on them. What made it particularly special for me was that I got to meet my P.L.A.Y. friends at Blogpaws during our review and giveaway. What great timing, huh? Needless to say, Will, Phuong, and especially Momo are very pleased with your reaction to their beds. Here's some of the many photos you shared with us:







Since I returned home from the Blogpaws conference, Tanner and I have tried a few new places for his new favorite bed. We seem to end up always putting it back in the original spot. I've gotten a few "What the heck are you doing?" looks from him during these experiments. He probably thought I was hauling off his new place to snooze. 


I hope our winner will be as thrilled with the new addition to their home as Tanner is with his. We wish we could give all 359 entries a bed, but the deal was one bed of the winner's choice. That winner is a 19 year old Pug named Mugsy. Mugsy's story was a tear jerker, as you may know if you read the comments. One kindly reader even pulled out of the contest and told me she hoped Mugsy would win the bed. She got her wish too!


Congratulations from one Pug to another. I'm sure Momo will be proud to put his stamp of approval on Mugsy's bed. Mugsy's family will be notified and needs to reply with a street address and phone number to my email at AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com ASAP. We're all happy for you, Mugsy--especially Momo.

For those of you who would like to visit P.L.A.Y. to purchase your own bed, their website is always open and Momo will be glad to usher you in. Happy shopping!








Full disclosure: Pet Lifestyle and You provided a bed for Tanner to test.We shared our thoughts about the bed and the company honestly and were not paid to review their products or offer a positive review.

You guys just never fail to thrill me. Every morning when I visit my reader email box there is something fun and energizing awaiting me there. Thanks for all of your enthusiastic entries.


Although I have already announced the winners at the original post using the Rafflecopter widget, I just couldn't let all these adorable photos go unpublished. Although they have graced the pages of my Facebook site recently, there are so many that I just had to share a few here.

When I decided to take on this First Aid review, I was not aware of what an active bunch you are. Some of the photos did a good job of sharing your love for the outdoors. Of course we all know that even a couch potato can get injured at home, so our winners will be well-prepared.


If you're not one of the lucky three, I encourage you to prepare a kit for your pup emergencies, or purchase one from Show-Me Animal Products. I love this company for their mission. While it rallies around helping animals, they also help disabled adults find work, as all the kits are assembled by these special-needs folks that are able to put the kits together. It's makes me feel good to support such a business.

This is just a sampling of the fun pictures we received. Be sure to stop by our Facebook page if you'd like to enjoy the rest. While you're on Facebook, drop in at the Show-Me Animal Products' page and tell them I sent you. 


Today's winners of the three first aid kits are Denise V., Shilohsmom., and Ashley C. You'll receive an email from AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Be sure to reply soon with your mailing address so we can ship out your First Aid Kit next week just in time for your Fall Leafing hikes. 


Thanks again for all your participation. Have you stopped by Fido's Freebie Friday yet to see what sort of new goodies are up for grabs? Check it out and be sure to take another peek later on or over the weekend. Linkups will continue through midnight tonight. My giveaways are open through next Thursday. Happy tails!
