#BarktoSchool Grand Prize 

I'm so excited to report the results of the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party that I'm not going to bed until it's ready. What a whirlwind of fun. Our sponsors shared lots of great information that we passed along to party guests, making for a wonderful blend of chat about nutrition and training, along with issues that occur when the family heads back to school leaving the pups at home.  Many interested guests RT'd our blogger buddy @PeggyFrezon, and we shared a good deal of info about her books and blog.

Thanks to Nature's Logic and Walk in Sync for bringing the #BarktoSchool theme to life, as well as to Peggy Frezon for joining us as a sponsored sponsor. LOL! All Things Dog Blog's partnership with Paris of Dogtipper.com, Event Barkers, has enjoyed bringing you these fun-filled events.  Are they fast enough for you?

Books from Peggy Frezon and all sorts of goodies from the Event Barkers team, Dogtipper.com and AllThingsDogBlog.com were also given away, making for a bunch of happy Twitterers.

That prize photo up there is our grand prize. I'm sure the winner is soaking in glory right now, as that package is worth a whopping $276! Talk about a happy dog :)

The winners at the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party are:

  1. PreTweet Prize: @DanielleMurgia
  2. Rafflecopter Prize: @Wahwithjl (any idea how to pronounce this one?)
  3. RSVP drawing: @Arniebelle
  4. @GlimmeringGator
  5. @SharonGilbert6
  6. @LizTicona
  7. @CharlotteCrame3
  8. @TheTatooedType
  9. @Tarheelmd07
  10. Grand Prize Winner: @YorkieMomma
Needless to say, this Grand Prize winner is a happy to go back to school :)  With all the training and good nutrition supplies, he'll be in great shape for learning whatever it is that's on the lesson plan.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the party, as well as the pre-party events. I believe you guys gave Rafflecopter a run for their money with your efforts there. Random.org did its job and delivered a Twitter handle with an unpronouncable name. Thank goodness they also collect email addresses for contact!

If you've got a blog, I invite you to continue to scroll down and enter your latest post(s) on our Mutt Monday blog hop, an anything goes pet hop to show off your latest. Thanks again!

Dandy Dog Book Review:
Heart to Heart, Hand in Paw

by Carrie Boyko, CEB
© Peggy Frezon
Join Peggy for Luanne's Story

Peggy Frezon has built a career on writing about the heartwarming benefits of animals in our lives. Her inspirational stories have been published in Guideposts, Angels on Earth, the Chicken Soup series and in her memoir, Dieting with My Dog, which was profiled here earlier by Peggy in a guest post. For anyone in need of inspiration to get into shape, Peggy and Kelly provide this in spades.

In addition to Peggy's print publishing, she is also a staff writer at Be the Change for Animals and writes her own popular blog, Peggy's Pet Place.

In her latest book, Heart to Heart-Hand in Paw, Peggy shares the story of her mother's challenges in trying to live a simple life in rural Vermont. After an extremely tough childhood, Luanne stumbles through many new adventures, always managing to pull herself up by the bootstraps with the help of her animal companions, many of which have surprising challenges of their own. Luanne's faith and furry family appear to help her get through everything that appears to push life's next step over the edge.

This latest addition to Peggy's publishing is another inspirational, feel-good book that's a perfect choice for any animal lover. You can purchase a copy at Amazon, download a kindle version from Amazon, or win one at our #BarktoSchool Twitter Party on August 12, where Peggy and her work will be promoted. Be sure to RSVP at the link to win.

All Things Dog Blog's Patches
Checks Out New Cat Chow

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Will She or Won't She?
For those of you who have cats, you probably already know they have one common characteristic; they are highly curious! When a bag of Nature's Logic cat food arrived for her to offer an opinion on, she was definitely in her curious kitty form. Follow along and let's see what she thinks:

Not a terribly finicky eater, she can sometimes surprise us when she turns up her nose at a piece of cheese or a nibble of ham. You just never know, so this was definitely an experiment we were eager to see the results of. This was the day she would test Nature's Logic.

Patches Contemplates her Options
I was surprised at the variety offered by this company whose name was not terribly familiar to me. I've enjoyed learning about them, getting to know their representatives, and working with them on the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party preparations. You'll be happy to know that each and every #BarktoSchool prize will include a bag of Nature's Logic and 3 cans of food, a nice chance for you to see how your pet responds to this healthy option. Patches is gambling that your kitty (or your Woof; they get to win too!) will offer an enthusiatic "Meow!"

The folks at Nature's Logic encourage rotation diets to help minimize the potential for developing food allergies. In this goal they offer a wide variety of foods that include beef, chicken, venison, rabbit, duck and salmon. Who knew?

Chow Down, Patches!
What's more, this multitude of protein sources is provided in canned, dry kibble and even frozen raw form, for those owners who like to feed the raw food way. I'm extremely impressed with their selection of higher quality grains as well. They include no wheat, corn, rice, soy, or potato in their foods.

In addition to their 3 lines of food, Nature's Logic sells kitty litter, an all-natural supplement and an EFA supplement. Nature’s Logic™ North Atlantic Sardine Oil contains more EFA and DHA than Salmon Oil and has naturally lower levels of environmental contaminants. That's a healthy statement that All Things Dog Blog can get behind as an additive to our dog's food, as well as Patches chow. The dogs love fish oil supplements added to their kibble just as much as Patches does.

Being the cautious Feline that she is, Patches spent nearly a whole day watching her dish before she finally decided to dig in. And dig in she did!

Lip-Licking Good!

I would be off base if I did not remind you that in switching pet foods, it is always best to switch gradually over a period of about a week or so. By adding a bit more of your pet's new food to the old brand each day, you'll allow the tummy to gradually adjust to the changes that may otherwise upset their digestion. This is an excellent practice anytime you change Fido or Meow's diet.

When Patches left her now empty dish licking her lips, I knew that was her sign of approval, at least for the flavor of her Nature's Logic dinner. Fortunately for our pets, we get to make the decision of which brand we purchase. Choosing a brand with high quality proteins and carbohydrates, along with all-natural, non-synthetic supplements, is much more likely to lead to a long, healthy life and a hearty energy level.

I'll be sharing all sorts of trivia about Nature's Logic at the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party on Sunday night. Everything you ever wanted to know about this food will probably be included, so be sure to join us to learn more. You may want to make the change as Patches has--yummy meow!
