Race You to the Treats!
Who let the dogs out? I guess we did. They're all headed for the big giveaway here: 8 bags of yummy goodies to serve all sizes and ages. Today I'll just get right down to business. Here are the winners:

  1. Mini bones for small dogs: Claudia
  2. Natural Treats for Puppies #1: Gloria W
  3. Natural Treats for Puppies #2: Liz 
  4. Natural Treats for Senior Dogs: Peggy, for Kelly
  5. Mini Treats: Tanya, for Pookie & Tootsie
  6. Soft Treats: Clenna
  7. Dried Turkey Hearts: Sara N.
  8. Dried Turkey Treats: Rita
In your packages you will be finding another surprise. With football season upon us, we're getting ready for Super Dog Sunday on February 5th. While NFL football fans are all glued to the TV, we'll be running a photo contest here on the blog, as well as raising funds for Petfinder, the forerunner in pet adoption search. 

Last year's contest brought 72 of you here to provide pics of your pups in awesome Football-themed scenes. It was a blast. This year I'll be kicking it up a notch. I plan to include new features, prizes and a bit of a bump for Petfinder's funding. So when you find the football prop in your box, be sure to take a picture of your Fido with it. Send it in to me for posting as a part of our Super Dog Sunday photo blog hop on February 5, 2012. Watch for more info and opportunities to participate, as they become available throughout Fall.

Can I ask for a treat too? Please send photos of your pups enjoying their treat prizes. I'll include bandanas in the packages to those of you who have not received them previously. Don't forget to wear them in the pictures. Your pup may just get a cover dog job on the blog one day. Thanks much!

Storytime Anyone?
Reading is so much a part of life that I get great joy from giving away dog books for my visitors to share with their kids, grandkids, students and neighbors. My grown children still tell me that some of their best childhood memories are of reading with mom and dad.


Today's giveaway is for youngsters who enjoy poetry. The illustrations in these books will help bring young imaginations to life. I hope the new owners will enjoy these books and share them with others as well.


The winners are Elsie, Tammy1409, Sharon Gilbert, and Christina Jackson. Those of you who have not already received an All Things Dog Blog bandana for your dog may do so by replying to my announcement email (coming soon) with your dog's weight and breed. I'll send the appropriate size along with your book.


Now it's my turn to ask for a favor. Please send pictures of your dog in his bandana. I love sharing and am busy collecting pics for a slideshow. We don't want your Fido left out. Happy tails!
