Petfinder Benefit Announced!

by Tanner

Shall I bow? Yeah; I know I'm handsome! This is my grandpa's Packers hat; cool huh!

Oliver and I have been working real hard to help mom at All Things Dog Blog, and our friends at Dogtipper, with all the organizing. We've got sponsors who have made a  yummy donation to Petfinder Foundation, and to celebrate, we'll be having a photo contest, blog hop and major cool prizes.

I helped mom unpack some of them and oh boy do they look good. She's too sneaky for me--put the treats on a top shelf :( Hope you'll join us for the fun.

If you need help learning how to put a football theme on your photo, you can come to our Twitter Party: #SuperDogPics! You can RSVP at this link.

 Our photographer friend, Brett Chisholm of Life and Dog Magazine will be with us to give tips, and mom will be handing MORE prizes. Let me tell ya; she knows how to pack in the loot. She made my boy move out this week, just to make room for all the goodies. Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration; my boy was moving out anyway. I miss him, but he visited this morning and made me feel better. There's nothing better than family. And that's what Petfinder is all about. So join us, and consider highlighting an adoptable Petfinder  pet as one of your entries. We know Petfinder would love it!

Who Knew? Toys for Zoo Animals!

Love the Pup on the Hat!

Imagine our surprise when we opened the package and found a horse Tshirt inside!!! The hat has an adorable pup embroidered on it. No, it doesn't look like Oliver OR Tanner, but it's cute.

Turns out that Jolly Pets makes toys for Zoo animals and horses. Who knew? We read through the brochure and were shocked to find toys for Tigers and all sorts of zoo animals that need to have entertainment just like us pups. Learn something new every day.

Well, we've delivered on our promise to post a photo of the hat and Tshirt here. You can read up on how to win them at this post.

Toni Plays with Oliver and Tanner

Our mom has been busy playing 'blogging' all day. She says she has started Fido's Freebie Friday for bloggers to list their giveaways in a Blog Hop. Sounds like fun, huh?

Tanner and I want to play too. Mom says we can give away anything she doesn't have to review, so we just dug through the goodies and found a Jolly Pets hat and Tshirt. It's really cute, with an embroidered pup on the hat, and perfect for playtime with your pack. Want to win? You can leave a comment here to enter. Be sure to leave us a way to contact you if you're the big lucky winner.

How will you know you won? We'll draw a winner from the comment-entries one week from tonight. Entries close at 5 PM on Thursday, June 23rd. We'll announce the winner on Friday, June 24th. We're so excited to get into the prize-giving gig. What fun! Want to see a picture of the hat? Watch for that coming tomorrow or this weekend. Stay tuned; the camera man is off duty today. :(

We'll list this giveaway here and on All Things Dog Blog's Fido's Freebie Friday, where there are lots of cool giveaways for pet lovers. You might find something neato there, so check it out. See ya soon.

Neighborhood Fidos Unite...Let's Play Ball (since we can't eat yet)

Dad?
A Little Ball?

Maybe the Neighborhood Pups?

Isn't it almost time for the food and the fun? I can't find a soul inside or out that wants to play a little ball with me. It should be kick-off time soon. I can tell because no one's around outside. I guess I'll mosey back inside and check the TV...AGAIN.

Then I can snoop around the kitchen to see where mom has hidden the Peanut Butter dog treats. You know, the ones she posted about earlier today on All Things Dog Blog. Sometimes I get lucky and she leaves them close enough to the edge for a tall guy like me to Retrieve them. Isn't that what I was meant to do? Of course!

Calling all FIDOS: Let's Talk Super Bowl Snacks

by Tanner

There IS No More Important
 Part of a Super Bowl Party than FOOD!

 I just had a heart-to-heart with my mom. I've been hearing stuff all week about chips and dip, beer, and guacamole. What is that, anyway? I felt it was my responsibility to inform her that there are 2 dogs in the house that also anticipate something special to eat during the game. After all, we've been busy helping her get ready for this Super Dog Sunday Blog Hop for 2 weeks now. We deserve a little thanks. Right?

I Negotiated. No Compromises.
I Got Peanut Butter Dog Treats and a promise...

Mom has posted the Peanut Butter Dog Treats recipe and photos over at All Things Dog Blog. You're probably going to want to make them for your Fido. They're super yummy.

Guess what the promise is.  Valentines' Day is coming up. Mom wrote a post at All Things Dog Blog about the woes of chocolate for dogs. All that did was make me want it more. So we came up with a plan.

Mom got a great recipe for Mock doggie chocolate. It's even got peanut butter and walnuts in it. She says it's made out of carob and I'll love it. 

I wasn't too pleased to learn that she made a batch to test this week, and didn't test it on me. But then she produced a piece for Oliver and I to sample, so I've forgiven her. It was really, really, really, yummy. Did I mention that I liked it?

Mom says she'll be posting the recipe on Valentine's Day and that I can tell you all about it. Make sure you don't miss it; you AND your dog can eat it. Mom loves it too, so we can share a treat together. Now that's bonding.

Bring Mom a Latte too, Cocoa-Latte!

Cocoa-Latte
Ready for a Trip to Starbucks?

Cocoa's mom tells me her pups were more interested in food than football. Cocoa-Latte's name makes me want to head up to Starbucks for an afternoon energy boost. Less than 2 hours to go until kick-off. Have fun bouncing around the blog hop! There are a ton of cute pictures. Thanks to everyone who has participated.

What Time Does the Game Start?

Mom tells us that the Peanut Butter dog treats will be served at game time. So when exactly is that? We're pretty eager to get that part of today's events going. Food is everything for us, and our mom has made us some super cute football dog cookies. Want the recipe? You can find it over at All Things Dog Blog. While you're there, would you set her clocks ahead, so we can get on with the snacks....pleeze!

Smudge
A Die-Hard Patriots Fan

Meet my friend Smudge. He's a cover dog. Recently he posed with Miss Florida on the cover of a local magazine, Urban Pet Magazine. I'm just a tinge jealous because Smudge was very handsome sitting on that beauty queen's lap. 


Smudge's brother, Sully, will be featured on my mom's blog at All Things Dog Blog this afternoon. Hope you'll pop by and get a look at him in his Patriot getup. Enjoy the hop!

Don't Miss It: The Fido Football Show of the Year!

by Tanner

© Carrie Boyko
Who Will it Be?
Packers or Steelers?

This week has been nothing but football craziness at our house. We've taken a hundred pictures of me and Oliver in all sorts of football scenarios. Mom plans a major show on Super Bowl Sunday. Oops! Did I say that? I meant Super Dog Sunday....as in the Blog Hop.

Oliver and I plan to join in the fun, but mostly we want to cheer on our Packers. Why the Packers? Our Grandpa was a big Packers fan. He grew up across the street from Packers' Stadium where he parked cars in his yard to get the money for games. Needless to say we can't possibly back the Steelers, right?

I hope you guys all plan to join in the Blog Hop. Between the hopping on blogs, the Facebook conversations, and the Twitter flitter, it's going to be one super fun, super busy day here. We all hope to see you with your pups, ready to cheer on your team. Here's the resources for getting into the events we have planned:

• Super Bowl Sunday Blog Hop 2011 Announcement
• Help Page for bloggers to join in
• Email for reader's photos to be posted: LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com

No excuses; don't miss it!
