Social Media Fun with Zuke's
by Oliver
My Zuke's hayride was supposed to have started a while ago. I'm wondering where the driver of this wagon has gone. Hmmm......Mom!
Oh well; I guess I could take this opportunity to introduce you to our newest technology here on 5 Minutes for Fido: the Giveaway Tools widget. It should be down there at the bottom of the post, asking you to enter your name and email address. Don't worry, Mom over at All Things Dog Blog assures me your email won't be used for anything except getting in touch with you when you win. That's okay with you, right?
This new widget is the latest in giveaway gadgets. We used to use one named after a helicopter, but this new one has a few extra features we're trying out. Let us know what you think. Did it wake up for you easily? Sometimes Mom says she has to tickle it to come alive by clicking on the post title. NBD, I guess.
So here's the deal. In this new widget you get to choose your entries. There are lots of choices, so just do the ones you like. I liked the one where Mom could put my picture in this cute Zuke's frame. Don't I look handsome? Too bad I can't enter; but YOU can! You actually get points for putting your dog's picture in a frame that WE MADE FOR YOU. It doesn't get any easier than this!
There are lots of other ways to enter also, like Tweeting, social media follows, pinning, and Vine or Instagram videos. FYI, we'll be picking one video to win a $100 Gift Certificate that you can spend on anything you want--seriously!
Not into Vine or Instagram yet? It's okay. I'm not either. But Mom and our partner Miss Paris will be posting How To's on doing these. Want to get started right away? Check out this quick starter on Vine. Mom says that it only takes 2 minutes to make and post a video that will get you the maximum allowable points--whatever that means. She says it's fun, so that works for me. A guy's got to trust his mom, ya know?
Video entries will need to follow 3 Event Barkers rules to be entered: (1) They must be Tweeted, (2) They need to add this statement, including the hashtags: "I #FueltheLove on #BarkFriday with @ZukesPets." and (3) the theme must be related to dog activities--any type of activity. I'm wondering if afternoon naps count as an activity? Hmmm....I'll have to ask Mom about that. She'll be around with her iPhone soon so maybe it's time for a snooze. I'll keep you posted.
Let's review some of the basics of the #BarkFriday #FueltheLove Twitter Party and then I'll let you get to your entries:
Sponsor: @ZukesPets (think super yummy, USA-made treats)
Hosts: @AllThingsDog, @EventBarkers, @DogTipper, @5MinutesforFido (that's me!), and @ToDogWithLove. That's my friend Rocco's mom; I love to do zoomies with Rocco at conference hotels!
Date: Friday, November 29, 2013
Time: 12 PM ET - 1:30 PM ET (right after your Black Friday early morning shopping!)
Venue Option--TweetChat room: http://tweetchat.com/room/
Prizes: $1000+ in Zuke's treats plus dog toys for all winners
Bonus: One winner will be chosen for a $100 Gift Certificate for their Video entry. Don't miss this chance to win big in the cash department.
Note to Party Participants: This Twitter Party has a highly-unusual 2 hashtags. Please be sure to copy this hashtag onto your clipboard before you begin the party. This way you can paste it into each Tweet as you chat during the event. See you at #BarkFriday #FueltheLove!
Event Barkers is working with Zuke's to help them gain online exposure and share the news of their new products. Watch for more excitement with a Blog Hop of assorted giveaways and newsy topics about Zuke's to open here on Friday, November 15.
Note that due to shipping regulations, the prizes in this event are only available to U.S. addresses. Thank you for your understanding.

The Deets on Pet PreTweets for #BarkFriday #FueltheLove
artfully written by Oliver
Okay, I get that I'm not too terribly talented with the camera. I do a better job when I'm in the image, but Tanner seems to have gotten that lucky job of SpokesModel this time. I suppose that's because our mom over at All Things Dog Blog was taking the photo while I was laboring over preparing this post. Sigh.
No matter. I'm playing my blogger role again today, offering you more ways to PreTweet the #BarkFriday #FueltheLove Twitter Party to help you win that wagon full of 15 bags of Zuke's treats. One lucky Tweeter (is that a word?) will grab all 15 bags plus a holiday toy for their dog. That's no chump change!
Good luck in your efforts to win this prize. Here are some Tweets for you to share with your furiends on Twitter:

We're Joining the Zuke's #BarkFriday #FueltheLove Twitter Party
by Oliver
Tanner and I are all about good treats, especially the ones that help to keep us healthy. So we're joining up with the Event Barkers gang to help promote the #BarkFriday #FueltheLove Twitter Party. I get to be one of the cohosts and talk about having fun during the holidays. It's a tough gig, but somepuppy has to do it. It sure won't be Tanner. He's just not too up on Twitter.
Watch our buddies for more information on all these goings on. I think they do a better job than I do at getting the inside track: AllThingsDogBlog.com, DogTipper.com, ToDogWithLove.com.
Your part is pretty much the same as mine, except you get to have a chance to win prizes. Me? Not so much. All you have to do to have a bunch of chances to win are (1) RSVP below, and (2) join us on Twitter at 12 PM ET on November 29. Mom calls that day Black Friday, but I think she made a typo on the party name. Anyways, I think #BarkFriday is much more appropriate since I love to bark. Don't forget that there's 2 hashtags this time: #BarkFriday #FueltheLove.
Can you "Speak"? That's one of my favorite skills. Mom says we'll be taking a Vine video of me speaking and that our party participants can enter to win prizes by posting a Vine video of their dog in any activity. More details on that to come Sunday. Be sure to come back and read up.
Tomorrow I'll have some Tweets for you to share. You can also win by Tweeting about this treat-filled party. I've got all the instructions for embedding (did I spell that right?) my Tweets right here. You'll be able to send out these Tweets with one click, and you won't even need opposable thumbs.
Before I move on to the RSVP, don't forget that you can also find Zuke's on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram where you'll see lots of active dogs.
Here's an example of how to fill in the RSVP form below. See you tomorrow for more deets on Tweets!

Pets Get Bewitched with Coupaw
by Oliver
Excuse me while I catch my breath here. Huff; puff! I just got wind of the fact that Mom is pulling out all the stops on this #Pet1stAid Twitter Party tomorrow and I'm busy running from her. I do not want to be her guinea pig. Let Tanner take that job!
Now that I've found a hideout in my girl's closet, I'm good to go. I want to tell you about our Halloween Twitter Party sponsored by Coupaw. They apparently have a bunch of Halloween costumes and other cool stuff for this dress up holiday. Mom and Miss Paris will be helping to find forever homes for their costumes by running a Twitter Party and promoting them. Sounds like fun; I'm in!
You get to do more than just win prizes. Our new friend Miss Arden (aka @ArdenKnowsPets) will also be there to share tips on safety for pets on Halloween night. I have to say that I think this is a very important job. Once on Halloween our neighborhood bear wandered down the street and mom had to take charge of getting the children to go home and be safe. I'm glad I was inside where a 10-pound dog isn't at risk of being stepped on in the dark. Whew!
First things first; let's get you all signed up and properly RSVP'd. Once that's done you'll need to hustle over to Coupaw and subscribe to receive their daily deals. They have, like, 5 new deals every day; it's amazing. And their shipping is free too! Mom says all the Halloween costumes cost less than $25 so what are you waiting on? Hmmm....I wonder how far my allowance will go? I'd like to be a Superhero. What do you think?
After you RSVP below (mom provided me with a sample for you to follow), be sure to stop over at www.Coupaw.com. After that, you'll probably want to join in the PreTweeting and the Raffle giveaway. There's so much to do to have fun for Halloween. Enjoy!
Through All Things Dog Blog's Event Barkers partnership with DogTipper.com we are helping Coupaw promote their Halloween costumes and themed pet items. This giveaway is exclusively for U.S. addresses.

PreTweeting for Pet Halloween Prizes
by Oliver
aren't my type. I'll have to let Homer know about this. Maybe he'd like his girlfriend to get this costume.
Who's Homer? He's a friend from the dog park. He's cool, but his curves are not in the same places at that lady up there. Oops; there I go again looking. My bad!
I better get down to business. I'm supposed to be sharing some Tweets with you for RTing about #Coupaween. Did you hear about our Halloween Twitter Party sponsored by @Coupaw? I'm so excited! You can read more about the details at Mom's post on All Things Dog Blog. I better get to the Tweets:
Before I leave, I have one more assignment. Mom says I have to tell you about some rules stuff: (1) You have to be signed up with Coupaw to receive daily deals in order to win, and (2) Don't forget to RSVP for the party. That enters you to win the first 2 prizes--score!
Finally, don't forget to check out Coupaw's other social media sites:

I'm trying to avoid looking at the costume in this post. Mom says it's for grown ups and I'm not old enough to see a girl dressed this way. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but this I know: Bulldogs

Halloween Raffle Giveaway
by Oliver
Halloween Fun is happening here! You can enter to win a Halloween costume or other Halloween item from Coupaw in the Raffle drawing to be done from the widget at the bottom of this post. Mom tells me it's sorta like the Rafflecopter she used to use. Hopefully you know what that's all about; I'm clueless.
What I do understand is that this giveaway is part of the #Coupaween Twitter Party to be held on October 1. Mom says I'll be Tweeting the night away about Halloween costumes and sharing some of our photos. I hope there are not any embarrassing ones in her collection!
So, here's the deal. You enter in the giveaway widget below, using those entries that you'd like to join in on. You are not obligated to use all the entry methods. Just have fun!
There are a couple of things you'll need to know to increase your chances of winning. One is that you
need to sign up for Coupaw's daily deals by visiting their website. When you get there you'll see that you actually can't see the deals until you fill in your email. Then they will appear and you'll see lots of cool stuff at great prices. They add new deals every day so you can save big bucks. What's more, you'll get an entry here for signing up. Good luck!
Speaking of money, you can also win Coupaw bucks to spend on their site at our #Coupaween Twitter Party. You can sign up to attend right here on my site!
Want to learn more about Coupaw? Watch for more deets (like my Twitter-eze?) at All Things Dog Blog and visit Coupaw's other social media pages:

The Cats are Coming! The Cats are Coming!
by Oliver
So apparently Mom has gone and done it again. It's mutiny, I tell you. This time she has given Patches permission to promote a cat litter Twitter Party on my blog. Has she read the title of this blog? I just don't understand these two.
Worse yet, since she has no blogging skills whatsoever, Mom has instructed me to be her scribe. I'm just appalled at the idea, but let's get it over with. Here's the deal:
Mom, Patches and Miss Paris' crew at CatTipper.com are collaborating with Swheat Scoop on a #LitterChat Twitter Party. It's that super Eco-friendly, naturally-processed kitty litter that Mom loves because it is not so dusty when she fills the box. I guess Mom sneezes less when she uses it so that's one benefit. She says there are more, and we should watch for her posts about the green features of Swheat Scoop.
For now, we'll just stick to the important journalistic stuff: who, what, where, when, why and how. Most of it
is on the badge you see here. As usual, Mom's badge did not cover important stuff like why and how, so I've got a few more details to share before I hit the publish button and tell Patches to skedaddle.
Just like the cool dog products we do Twitter Parties for, apparently this kitty litter is widely used and popular with the felines and their families. So Mom and Paris plan to share that news along with tips on kittybox issues.
I have a kittybox issue; I'm not allowed to go near it. That's definitely an issue! To me that kitty box looks like a salad bar, full of little protein nuggets. I really don't quite understand Mom's logic, but she tells me that that's Patches space and I must respect it.
I have to admit that she rewards me well when I do what she asks. Anytime she sees me watching Patches in her private space without entering, Mom gives me a super yummy Natural Balance treat. We have a nice assortment here since they sponsor All Things Dog Blog. Partnerships have their perks, but I digress.
Mom says I'm supposed to invite you all to join us for the party where you'll get lots of litterbox tips (Will she share how I can get to it without being scolded?), info about Swheat Scoop and its benefits, and some really hot prizes. She hasn't told me what the prizes are yet, but I peeked so I'm going to spill.
Mom, Paris and the Swheat Scoop folks have collected some pretty slick stuff, if you're a cat, that is. They've got a fancy-schmancy scratching tower for bird watching, litterbox organizers and accessories, some expensive, high class litter boxes for picky kitties, and most important, they've got a ton of Swheat Scoop cat litter.
Come a little closer so I can whisper. They're actually going to give away a year's worth of kitty litter to the Grand Prize winner, and that winner gets more great cat stuff. There's even toys!
Oh oh! Tanner heard me say that out loud. He's coming, so I'm hitting the publish button and hiding. He'll be looking all over for the toys.

Don't forget you have to sign up at the RSVP form at All Things Dog Blog. I don't really get that whole RSVP thing. Hopefully you do. Good luck with your cat party; I hope I can get out of it. I'm really not into Tweeting about kitty products, ya know?
Oops, one last responsibility. Patches wants you to help her share the news by clicking this Tweet:

WANTED: Dog Blogging Assistant
by Oliver
I've been working my paws to the bone and wondering if it's time to put in my notice with Mom. It's tough work here, but the pay is great; I get fed well! Any advice? Maybe I could just hire an assistant. You available?
Right now we're busy getting ready for #WorkLikeaDog, our Twitter Party on behalf of @ZukesPets. On top of that, last week I had to escort mom to Washington, DC for Blogpaws to be her PR Front Man. It was a lot of work meeting friends and influencing people (and dogs), but I'm definitely the dog for that job. Mom says my wiggle butt attracts everyone, but I personally think that's a bit embarrassing, so don't repeat it.....please.
Meanwhile, Tanner was home playing with my kids and a bunch of family that visited. How exactly is it that I got appointed to work and he got to show off in the pool and play Fetch? Surely you know that's his favorite game, right?
I'm officially putting my job up for grabs if I can't get a reliable assistant. Tanner apparently has ADD and Jacque is out of control hyperactive. Try to get him to pose for a photo review--not happening! Just for today, though, I'm going to tell you about the yummy treats that Mom and Paris will be giving away at the Event Barkers #WorkLikeaDog Twitter Party.
But first, did you RSVP yet? Don't forget! You could be the big winner in the RSVP drawing to win a huge package of Zuke's treats.
Here's the inside track that I got on the prize packages. Mom packs this stuff up on a top shelf to keep Tanner, me and Jacque out of it, but I got Patches to peek, and here's the prize list, including Zuke's best 'Hard Working Treats':
And can you believe there's more! I've overheard mom talking about the Grand Prize. Oh....My....Dog! The Grand Prize winner will be scoring all the loot listed above plus 3 training DVDs, a backpack and a traveling water bowl, to make sure your Fido can carry all his belongings to work and have a watering hole for the day, maybe under your desk?
Now don't spread this around too much, okay? But here's the deets on the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize winner, in addition to receiving 3 dog training videos and all that loot above, will get a Ruffwear pack and a Bivy collapsible bowl, perfect for hard working dogs, or dogs at play. Don't forget to bring these along when you head off for a hike in the woods and also when you're going to work with mom or dad.
I suppose you're ready to hit that RSVP link above now, right? Before you head off, I want to make sure you know about the pre-party giveaways. In addition to the RSVP drawing I mentioned earlier, you should check out the PreTweet giveaway and the Rafflecopter drawing. All 3 of these winners will be announced at the beginning of the Twitter Party, but need not be in attendance. They each get the whole package of goodies pictured above. If you're unable to come to our party, this is your next best chance to win these great prizes.
Watch DogTipper.com and All Things Dog Blog for more details as we move closer to the party date. I hear there will be more surprises!

Dogs Take Off to Workplaces in June: We're Ready!
by Oliver
I'm all ready for All Things Dog Blog's #WorkLikeaDog Twitter Party. I've got the wardrobe down, had a Linkedin profile photo taken and I'm trying to get Tanner with the program. He says he's not into the businessdog look. He fancies himself a professional Fetcher.
I finally said "Ok, so what sort of Linkedin profile pic are you thinking of?" He offered these two below. Sad, right? I asked him why and he insists he's got different priorities than I do and that I should just respect that. But seriously, Fetch is not a profession.
I'm a blogger. I take that seriously. I help mom with photo modeling, product reviews, Twitter Parties and I'll be acting as her PR front man at Blogpaws. Any ideas how I can help Tanner get a handle on his professional personna?
His reply to my concerns was that he has a perfectly handsome wetsuit that allows him to fetch year round, so why not show it off? Ugg.
I suggested a more mainstream profession for #WorkLikeaDog and he offered Dock Diving. He insisted that dogs do this on TV. Hopeless, just hopeless.
Any ideas out there? Tanner needs a professional makeover and quick. Offers?

#SuperDogPics RSVP is Just the Beginning!
by Oliver
My Mom and our friend Paris, Tiki and Irie's mom, are at it again. Through their Event Barkers partnership, they're rolling with Super Dog Sunday™, a charity pet photo contest to help our friends at Petfinder Foundation, who support Petfinder and helped us adopt Xena, Patches and Robby. It's a family thing, ya know.
To help our readers get ideas for their Super Dog Sunday photo entries, Mom and Paris have cooked up a Twitter Party called #SuperDogPics. I've been snoozing through most of the details but what I managed to pick up is that you can win loads of cool prizes like the stuff in the photo collage above (this is some of the stuff you'll win just for RSVPing below), and they'll be giving bunches of ideas for theming your photos at the party.
Mom says there is going to be a live artist's illustration going on during the party and we'll have @LifeandDog with us again to answer your photography questions. I also learned that I'll be needed to Tweet again. Better warm up that laptop and practice up my Tweeting skills.
The picture contest is designed for football-themed photos and you can also enter Petfinder adoptable pets. It's easy to help promote a pet who needs a furever home by decking it out with a football theme and sending it in for the contest to EventBarkers@gmail.com. Mom says it's really really important to send the profile page url along with the pet's picture, his name, and the area he's located in. That information will help get more pets adopted. That's good, right?
So please sign up and join us on Sunday at 4 PM ET. I'm copying mom's directions for the sign up sheet and including it below. What have you got to lose? Don't forget to read mom's Twitter Party Tips and check out her post on all the ways you can win great stuff for you and your dog in both of our Super Dog events. I'll see you on Sunday!
Now for the instructions; RSVP below by following the guide I've created, and be sure to use the hashtag #SuperDogPics when you Tweet. If you're unsure about your RSVP, please include an email address so we can reach you to clarify your registration. In order to win prizes at #SuperDogPics, you'll need to RSVP. What's more, there will be a prize just for one of the lucky Tweeps on the RSVP list, so don't be left out :)
Follow this RSVP Guide:
Below the numbered list at the bottom is a blue link that says "Click here to enter". Click this and follow these instructions, using the image above as a guide. In the field that says "Link Title or Blog Title" just enter your Twitter handle. Notice I entered @EventBarkers. In the second field that says "Link" you'll enter the link to your Twitter account. It will look like this: "http://twitter.com/yourhandlehere".
and let's not forget our beneficiary, @Petfinder_Fnd!

Let's Get #RedCarpetCat Ready!
by Oliver
I suppose by now you've noticed I do most of the writing here. Tanner is usually busy guarding the front door. Clearly I'm better than him at that job too, but I had to make a choice. Today I'm here to give you guys some warm up practice for the TV Animal Trivia that we'll be playing during the #RedCarpetCat Twitter Party.
First things first. If you haven't RSVP'd for the party, you're in luck. You still have time to get in on the thousands of dollars worth of great DOG and CAT prizes. You just need to go here to sign up. Now, let's get on with your practice!
During the Twitter Party there will be a team of hosts offering up trivia for you to join in. It helps us know you're actually with us on the party if you participate, so just jump right in and toss out some answers. It doesn't matter if they are right or not. You still get credit for being PRESENT and accounted for. That's super easy, right?!!
Here's some practice questions so you can see what we're planning:

Here's some practice questions so you can see what we're planning:
- What was the name of the Looney Tunes character that constantly tried to catch Tweety Bird the canary?
- Friends character Ross had a monkey named Marcel. What was his breed?
- What was talking TV horse, Mr. Ed's owner/companion's name?
- Do you know which zoo in Central FL was run by Jack Hanna in the mid-70’s?
- Which 2 PBS documentaries join 'My Life as a Turkey' in the Cinematography category?
- Animal Planet has 2 nominees for News & Documentaries this year. Which shows?
I just asked my girl some of these questions and she got 2 right. How about you? Would you like to know the answers? Visit Cattipper.com this evening for the answers to the questions above. You'll also find some new questions on her page. Here are the answers to those:
A1. 'Broken Tail' was nominated for 2 Emmy Awards in 2012.
A2. The last name of Dora the Explorer is Marquez.
A3. Mrs. Slocombe has a cat named Tiddles that is the source of constant innuendo.
A4. The Original Mutual of Omaha’s ‘Wild Kingdom’ premiered on NBC in 1963.
A5. ALF learned that he had become a cat lover when Lucky Tanner, his family's cat, died.
A6. Olivia lived with Lily Rush on 'Cold Case.'
A7. Patches the Zombie Cat appeared on one episode of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'.
A8. ‘Wild Kingdom’ now is broadcast on Animal Planet.

Tanner and I had a good laugh over the "Patches the
Zombie Cat" question. It's okay,
though. Our Patches isn't a Zombie, thank goodness!
I also asked mom if she knew what the questions might be for
these. She remembered the ALF show and told us all about it. We even heard some
stories about her kitties that she had at that time--Corey Lou and Bandit. She
was glad we didn't have an ALF!
Okay, you're all warmed up now, right? Don't forget to show
up early, check in, and be ready to man your refresh button. I have a feeling
it's going to get a good workout.
And there's one more thing. Did you enter to win the PreTweet prize or the Rafflecopter drawing? Don't miss these two prizes, as they don't require you to be present at the party :) Over and out!

Hear Ye! Here Ye!
#RedCarpetCat is Now for Dogs too!
by Oliver
Dude! Did you hear? The #RedCarpetCat Emmy event is also including dogs this year. Gnarly, huh?! Tanner and I are uber excited that mom and Dogtipper finally got it right and added canines. What were they thinking?!!!
We haven't heard what the prizes are for dog sorts, so we'll keep you posted on that. Meanwhile, you should be sure to RSVP so you'll be included in the RSVP drawing on September 19, and also to be eligible to win prizes at the party. There are even going to be pre-party prizes, so be sure to watch Event Barkers and AllThingsDogBlog.com for all the updates. It's awesome!
I'll be Tweeting the night away, and probably fending off the ladies while I'm at it. Do ya think I need a body guard? Tanner! You're nominated!
I'll be sharing @TheTiniestTiger's pics taken with the stars at the Emmy Awards Secret Rooms. Gracey is our sponsor (Shhhh....she's a cat). I don't quite understand that. If they're so secret then how come we know about them? Go figure!
I suppose I better get my little black book out and catch up on the names of the Anipals that are of the female persuasion. I can get some names from Preston. He's usually pretty good at keeping tabs. I better get on that. Don't forget to go RSVP right now so you won't be rushing at the end, and mark your calendars so you won't forget. See ya there. I'll be @5MinutesforFido, the coolest Twitterer at the party ;)

Nature's Logic Review by Oliver
by Oliver
We've been busily dropping photo hints that this review was coming, so I guess you know our noses have already done a pretty good job of checking out the goods. Truth be told, Tanner ate the biggest portion, but to be honest, he always does. He's a whopper at 70 lbs and me, Oliver, I'm a diminutive 10-pounder. Somehow that always makes me sound like a lower life form, but mom assures me I'm still plenty important.. As a matter of fact, I'm so important that I got this writing assignment. Take that, Tanner! BOL!
I had to hold Tanner's paw and tell him I promised to use his thoughts in this review, or he was most certainly going to whimper like a puppy. So my disclaimer goes something like this: "All information in the following review is a combination of material gleaned from Nature's Logic, Tanner, Oliver, and even a few tidbits from Patches." Does that work? I thought it sounded real professional.
Just to be clear, I'm going to give you some of the official info from Nature's Logic. This is the stuff mom likes to read. Like, for example, their food does not contain any synthetic nutrients. That's just fancy words for vitamins...you know, the stuff that makes us healthy, energetic and shiny. Nature's Logic makes their whole line of foods from 'whole foods' instead of stuff that was made in a chemistry lab. I though a lab was a dog, but my girl, Toni, tells me that it's a place where fake vitamins can be made--yuck! I much prefer real carrots and apples to fake ones, thank you very much!
Tanner seems real impressed with the variety of different aminal (did I spell that right?) meats available in Nature's Logic foods. He tells me they make pet food using chicken, beef, venison, rabbit, salmon, lamb, duck, and sardines. Did I get them all Tanner? That's quite a list, huh? I'm going to have to go look up venison and sardines....not sure what they are. Can you help?
Apparently since the Nature's Logic food has so much great protein, they decided to leave out some of the carbs that have less nutritional value. That was a mouthful I got from Patches. She hates carbs and cats don't eat much other than protein, so I understand her point of view.
Me, well, I can take an occasional dog treat and enjoy the carbs included, but Patches tells me that Nature's Logic leaves out rice, soy, wheat, potato and tapioca. They explain this and some other stuff about our diets here.
Sounds like the Nature's Logic folks got everything in their food that I like and even made Patches happy. That's no easy feat. What more can we say?
Oh, yeah, I know what. Mom is helping the Nature's Logic folks get the word out with some help from Tiki and Irie's mom, Paris. We're throwing a Twitter Party called #BarktoSchool. You can join us by RSVPing at the link.
Mom plans all sorts of training tips and nutrition info that's good for pet owners like you to know. She's also planning to share some info on a writer friend, Peggy Frezon, who has a bunch of books and a neato blog, Peggy's Pet Place. And another cool part is that she's also giving away a whole bunch of Nature's Logic, Walk in Sync leashes, great dog books, shampoo, training treats and more. Mom says there will be over $1000 in gifts for pets and their families. That's a lotta kibble!
Anyways, if you want to join us for the party, you'll have to head on over the RSVP page and sign up. I guess if your pawprint is not on the list, you can't win a prize, so it's pretty important. I'll be there Tweeting too, so please say hello. My Twitter handle is @5MintuesforFido. See you then!

And another cool part is that she's also giving away a whole bunch of Nature's Logic, Walk in Sync leashes, great dog books, shampoo, training treats and more. Mom says there will be over $1000 in gifts for pets and their families. That's a lotta kibble!
Anyways, if you want to join us for the party, you'll have to head on over the RSVP page and sign up. I guess if your pawprint is not on the list, you can't win a prize, so it's pretty important. I'll be there Tweeting too, so please say hello. My Twitter handle is @5MintuesforFido. See you then!

Rafflecopter Lands for #BarktoSchool!
by Oliver
The Rafflecopter prize has been announced over at All Things Dog Blog, so I guess I have clearance to let that chopper land here now too. What does that mean for you? Prizes!
Tanner just took inventory of the Rafflecopter prize and he tells me there is something in that package from each of our #BarktoSchool Twitter Party sponsors: Nature's Logic pet food (they have kitty chow too), a Walk in Sync Get-a-Grip leash, a book from Peggy Frezon, and goodies from the Event Barkers team.
Tanner says he used all his toes, pads, dewclaws and even his teeth, and still couldn't add up the value of the prizes, but I peeked over at mom's blog and got the scoop: over $80 in value for this prize alone! Apparently that's good :)
Tanner and I will be sharing some highlights and reviews here over the next 10 days, telling your more about Peggy Frezon, Walk in Sync, and Nature's Logic. Be sure to stop in at the other host blogs to learn more. We hear that Paris will even be doing a video review of one of the products. No movie cameras for us, thank you very much. we're pretty good at posing, so we'll stick with what we're good at!

I think it hides like that just to be stealthy. Does that impress you?
Have fun and good luck!

Gamma2 Goes to Blogpaws with Oliver: No?!
by Oliver
I'm not a happy camper right now. I just got this super cool new TRAVEL-tainer by Gamma2 and a Vittles Vault Jr. to carry along extra food since I eat sooooo much (NOT!). But now I've learned that I'm not going to Blogpaws. Here I dusted off my carrier, tested it out, and.....bad news.
Humph! The only good part is that Tanner doesn't get to go in my place. He'd be fetching half the food off the buffet and engaging all the other dogs in tag games. Talk about a dogpark showoff!
Speaking of showoffs, Sunday my mom and the mom over at Dogtipper (Tiki and Irie's mom) will be having another Twitter Party, this time for Gamma2. Mom has been having fun teaching Twitter 101 to the Gamma2 folks, sharing their Gamma2 G-Men video with half the Internet, and well, Grandma's move made for quite the exciting week. Here adopted Papillon is NOT my cousin, but for some reason my mom calls him the Cousin. Go figure!
Anyway, I wanted to share the fun G-men video and make sure you all remember to RSVP for the #Gamma2Fresh Twitter Party so you can win patented, airtight food containers for your Woof and Meow. See you there!

Pet Travel Feeding Solutions
by Oliver
First off, I didn't make up that title. Tanner was in charge of titles today, and pictures too. He picked one of himself :( It's really, really boring, but the post is bunches better; I wrote the post :). Keep reading...When this news flash came by me I just had to scoop it up before Tanner got wind of it. The new TRAVEL-tainer that Mom has sitting on her desk right now has bowls that hold a whole quart of food. Yeow! I'm loving that idea since I get way less than that at my usual chowtime.
I have not quite figured it all out. I know Tanner is bigger than me. But I do weigh 10 lbs. That seems like enough to be fed a reasonable ration, but no, I get tiny nibbles of kibble in my diminutive bowl. And then Mom has the gall to call me her pocket pup. Doesn't she know that makes me feel so, so, small? :(
So I'm going to figure out a way to hide that TRAVEL-tainer and make sure it's mine. When we go on our next camping trip I've got dibs on it. Done! Tanner will get to eat out of the grocery store plastic bowl that's barely big enough for a mouse. So there!
FYI, if you want to nab one of these cool travel containers, you need to be at #Gamma2Fresh, Mom's Twitter Party on June 10. She's hosting for the Gamma2 company along with Paris, her Event Barkers buddy. They apparently have a whole pile of Gamma2 food containers to give away, but I've yet to figure out where she's hiding them. Maybe I'll go check the garage. Wish me luck. See you on June 10. I'll be tweeting @5MinutesforFido. Go RSVP right now so you can get in on the prizes.
My bad! I should tell you about the extra chances to win. Besides the RSVP drawing, you can PreTweet to win, and there's a Rafflecopter thingy you can enter on too. Good luck with that; I'm not too sure if it will take off flying or what. Let me know if you figure it out.
