Oliver Performs His
 Stevie Wonder Imitation

This past weekend was the Grammy Awards, a bittersweet weekend of celebration and sadness with the passing of Whitney Houston. Oliver is trying his best to cheer us up with his Stevie Wonder imitation. What do you think?


The Academy Awards are fast approaching as well. Who should he try to impersonate next? Certainly not Gracey of #RedCarpetCat fame. That would be shameful for a dog, right? We'll work on it. Please leave your ideas below!

Ready to Walk the Red Carpet

The Academy Awards are coming soon and I hear chatter about it everywhere I go. Admittedly, I'm not privy to much starlet intel, but I know one thing. Whenever I need to learn something, if I ask enough people, I'll get some answers.  So now it's your turn to hand over the info. In exchange for Academy Award trivia about pets, I'll hand out some great prizes. 


Let's lay down the rules, lay out the prizes and then we'll get going. You guys will have through Monday, February 20 to offer up the best tidbits of Academy Awards pet trivia in a comment. Enter as often as you like, but keep these rules in mind:

• Each comment MUST BE pet-related trivia regarding the Academy Awards and/or the movies/movie industry. My judge's decisions are final on this contest, so keep to that simple rule so you're not wasting your time.
• Each and every entry must include your contact information via Twitter, email or blog url. No contact information= No prize. :(

You can help me make this contest even more fun by tweeting the contest. However, you cannot win unless you have posted at least one comment with Academy Award pet trivia here at the blog. Here's a sample tweet:

Replendish will Serve the Whole Fido Family

First Place: For the multi-pet family, a jumbo Replendish, 2.5 gallon water container and bowl by Petmate that filters water for healthier hydration. This waterer is ideal for households with multiple pets and larger dogs, as well as outdoor water storage to assure ample volume for thirsty, active fidos. If used outdoors, I advise the Replendish be placed in a shady area off the ground to keep ants at bay.

I Think I Can; I Think I Can...

Second Place: Three winners will each receive a bag of Terra Paws freeze dried sweet potato treats. These treats have been a hot item in our Twitter Parties and this is the last of the stock. Don't miss out because there won't be any more anytime soon.


Terra Paws are so good that Oliver had to show off his yoga dog concentration and focus in this photo. He's got Terra Paws on his paw and had to wait permission to snack. Good boy, Oliver!

Third Place:  Three winners will get an attachable leash dispenser for their poop bags, something that every dog owner needs. Your prize will come with 1 roll of bags included. If you share your pup's breed/mix and weight, I may get generous and include an All Things Dog Blog bandana in your package.


Winners will be announced Tuesday, February 21. Let your pursuit of trivia and treasures begin!

PS. For those of you who are really into the Academy Awards, I hear that The Tiniest Tiger will be in one of the secret rooms at the Academy Awards, tweeting and giving away a special hipster bag from his site. You can learn more by visiting here.


No purchase is required to enter this contest. It is open only to U.S. residents. Prizes have been provide for review, as conference swag and as a promotional courtesy. I have not been compensated to give these items away.
