Lola Enjoys Swimming
 with Family Fidos


Water dogs. What's not to love about 'em? They certainly keep our lives lively and fun. We teach them to swim; they learn to love it; and then they thank us by getting out and shaking all their liquid onto us! And thank goodness that they do. If they didn't come out of the water, we'd be frantic, upset and powerless to help in the deep, dark depths.

Tanner Enjoys his New Vest
That's why a flotation vest is so very important when swimming in open water. There are many dangers lying beneath the surface that can surprise a dog. Boat incidents are especially precarious when Fido doesn't know how to ask for help if he's hurt. Thanks to Pure Pup, one lucky dog has won a new Doggles flotation vest with a patent pending chin support. This feature is unique to this vest and provides head support when a dog is knocked unconscious or is injured badly.

Raster's Best View!
I'm proud to have had the opportunity to share this great vest review with all of you and I encourage you to visit Pure Pup and purchase vests for your own dogs, if you are not the winner today. This small investment could mean the difference between a nice wet shower and a very sad day. Do it for your dog.

Shiloh's Adventures Capture Our Imagination
Now, let's get to the good part, the announcement. I'm always a bit giddy when I click the button that makes Random.org do it's job. With 195 entries and 629 view, it seems such a big decision to leave to a box of paper slips. I'm happy to have technology that can allow me to share  the winner's name as Sandy D. Congratulations! You will receive an email from me soon. Please reply with your mailing address and phone number, dog's chest measurement, breed and weight. We look forward to helping him have many happy swims. Best wishes with your water adventures and please send photos. We love fan mail.


Full disclosure: No purchase was necessary to enter this drawing. I reviewed this product when I received a sample to test. The opinions I have presented are my own.

Time to Give up the Books Oliver
You've Guarded them Well
These book giveaways are getting very emotional for me. I hear so many wonderful stories from readers about their children or their love of kids books that I want to send everyone a case full! I wish I could, but these giveaways come from my own pocket, so they are limited to my budget restraints. I don't know if you've heard, but blogging isn't exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. Clearly I'm not in this for the big bucks!


Today's winner has a daughter who enjoys dog stories and has a class of friends who will share in the treasure. Congratulations to H. Ruggiero for winning the 5 books in the photo.  Watch for my email so that you may reply with your current address and we'll get these book to you as soon as possible.


Sorry, but Oliver stays here. He has to guard the next batch of books. There will be another book giveaway in early October, with more to come. Stay tuned to our Current Giveaways page in the middle sidebar to keep up with what's going on currently. 


You'll see this image there. Click to visit the page that has the basic giveaway information, and select the link to the specific post for more details. Let me know how this works for you. Your feedback helps me make my page easier for readers to navigate. Thanks to you all for participating.

The Grab Bag Surprises never fail to thrill. You don't know what's going to be inside, but it's sure to bring a smile to your face. Fido will enjoy the snacks in this bag, provided by Dog Pack Snacks. Thanks to Deb and Coco for providing these.


This week's winner is Sir Chewbacca the Fluff, one of our readers' dogs that stops by from time to time. I'm sure his mom will be pleased with a surprise grab bag for Chewie. I'll be in touch soon, Chewie. Your goodies are coming.
