#BarktoSchool Back Up Plan

I can hardly believe that #BarktoSchool is finally here. Are you ready? Dogtipper.com has posted a simple 'how to' primer for new Twitter Users here, for your assistance. You'll also find Twitter 101 posts listed in my left sidebar. If this is your first time attending a Twitter Party, we suggest reading some of this material to help you keep up. The speed that these parties move at can be quite exciting.

Important things to remember:
  • The first prize winner will be announced at 8 PM ET, so....
  • Check in on Twitter to let us know you're online, using the #BarktoSchool hashtag, well before 8 PM ET
  • Your refresh key is your best friend for keeping up with the party flow.
  • Watch @EventBarkers for prizes.
  • Watch your other hosts for tips and helpful information.
  • Feel free to ask questions of our sponsors @NaturesLogic, @WalkinSync, @PeggyFrezon and @EventBarkers.

Except, that is, when Twitter goes down. If that were to happen we have a back up plan. Same time tomorrow evening, we'll resume the #BarktoSchool party if Twitter happens to tank. The prizes will still be given away and all the Twitter Chat will pickup right where we leave off tonight. So no worries if you think Twitter is down; we've got your umbrella!

Now, just to make sure you're ready, ask yourself if you've RSVP'd at the link above. If so, join the party early to be sure you're checked in before the 8 PM ET drawing of the first prize. Happy #BarktoSchool!

Dog Shampoo Review:
Caroline's Doggie Sudz

Bathtime, Tanner?

I'm Ready Mom
Turn on the Water!

Grab your rubber ducky. Where's the tub? Fill it up with water. Jump in. Ahhhhh.... "Caroline, take me away". :)

My Tanner does love to relish a good bath. The massage behind his ears and the rubbing of his chest seems to make him relax all over. And the pedicure tub soak loosens all the dirt and other nasties that get stuck between his pads and on his nails. As a puppy, we began right away rubbing his pads gently, while talking sweetly to him. He learned to associate this activity with sweet talk and a treat when we're done. Bathime is now so much fun!

Let's Get Started!
Today we're trying out Caroline's Doggie Sudz shampoo from Austin Rose. You'll be seeing this product and their Lavender and Neem version as prizes in the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party on Sunday. It smells sweet and delicious. Neither Tanner or I like heavily perfumed shampoos, so this Mango and Neem (Neem oil is good for pest prevention) is just the right amount of pleasant.

And sudsy? Wow! The bottle's label says it is 32X concentrated, but using it was all it took to understand that it goes a long way. On a big guy like Tanner, that's a really good thing. We've bought a couple of cheapo shampoos that turned out to only handle 2 baths with a whole bottle. Ouch!

Caroline's Doggie Sudz is certified Vegan, meaning that their products have no animal ingredients such as fats included. The sudsy stuff comes from biodegradable coconut and there are some nice emollients and itch-preventers like Vitamine E, Aloe Verra, Yucca, Oatmeal, Chamomile and Cucumber, all great for helping your itchy pup feel oh, so relaxed.

After his bath, Tanner was ready for a nice, long nap. Want to win a 16 oz. bottle of this delicious smelling shampoo. Join us at the #BarktoSchool Twitter Party where 6 bottles will be given away to winners, along with $1000 in other prizes as well. You don't want to miss this! HINT: In order to win prizes, you must RSVP at the link. See you Sunday!
