Fourth Quarter
Winners Announcements!

Here we are again, the first of a new year. New Years is an especially inspiring time when many people set new goals and look forward to adding new activities to their dog loving lifestyle. Today I get to announce the winners of three quarterly drawings. Each will win a prize package of goodies to take them into the New Year with style--a MANKINDdog backpack, a travel water bottle, a Gamma 2 Vittles Vault Jr. pet food container, a package of treats from our assortment, an All Things Dog Blog bandana for looking good, and a package of Flushpuppies. Can you guess what you and your pup will be up to? Sounds like a hike will be in your plans, just as soon as the weather cooperates in your area.

Blue Shows Off his Loot

Our quarterly winners circle drawing from All Things Dog Blog winners' photos submitted is a double dipper. This winner grabs a prize for sending in their photo after a giveaway or other event that involves a prize. You could win next quarter if you send in a pic of your pup with their prize won from an All Things Dog Blog giveaway.

Our second All Things Dog Blog winner is from the Weekly Wag participants who have signed up at the opening post. It appears that has been a challenging request, so watch for a simpler entry method this year, starting on Saturday, January 12. 

This quarter's winners at All Things Dog Blog are C. Duarte  and J. Diamond. They'll receive an email from AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com within the next 24 hours and need to reply with shipping information.

Daisy Says Thanks to Event Barkers

Our Event Barkers partnership with Dogtipper.com also has a quarterly winners circle drawing to encourage our winners to share their photos. With all the Twitter Parties we've done in the last year, we had quite a list of winners to select from. 

We'd like to say a very special thank you to Gamma 2 for providing the Vittles Vaults that are included in these prize packages. These containers are wonderful for travel and perfect for small pets. They are made in the USA out of BPA-free plastic and come with an airtight lid and a measuring cup that doubles as a bowl when needed. We are proud to have helped Gamma 2 promote their products at our #Gamma2Fresh Twitter Party.

This quarter's Event Barkers winner is Liz B. who sent in this photo of her dog, Daisy, as a thank you. Isn't it wonderful to see that she shared her prize with a rescue?

Daisy will get all the prizes in the photo at the top, along with a coloring book from Dogtipper and Cattipper for a youngster in her life. Tanner and Oliver are showing off this prize below. Enjoy Daisy!

All Things Dog Blog Inspires...

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

What a delightful way to start the day. As soon as I signed on to check my morning comments, there it was--an award from Boondocks the Wonder Dog. I'm not sure exactly who we've inspired, but it felt good to know that Boondocks and his family felt our presence. Thanks to Boondocks and his whole pack for this nice compliment.


The fun part of winning one of these blogging awards is passing it along. It gets to travel to whomever I choose X 10. It's always tough to narrow it down to 10. Let's see how I do, and please know these are in no specific order:

1. Carol Bryant--This is awarded to Carol personally, as a writer that I respect and enjoy working with. She can choose to display the award wherever she wishes--a professional site or her FIDO Friendly blog.
2. Kim Clune--The same goes for Kim. Since she has 2 blogs, I'll let her choose where to display her award: Btc4Animals or This One Wild Life.
3. Doreen Disbro--For your faith in my efforts to get a giveaway blog hop started, thank you for inspiring me further: Doggies and Stuff.
4. Elizabeth Glavin--You've been a delight to work with in our crossover areas of saving money on pet stuff, but most of all you're one of those young women that takes the bull by the horns and gets where she intends to go. You go girl: 20something Saver.
5. April of A Mommy's Sweet Blog Design-- Thank you for being so patient and willing to work with my very specific Bow Wow ideas about my blog's little design issues. Your patience earned you this award.
6. Paris Permenter--Although you and Dogtipper have probably won every award in the blogging world (or should have), perhaps you'd like to display this at CatTipper as a thank you from my cat, Patches, for all your gracious assistance to me. P.S. Patches wants to be featured as a cat of the day.
7. Michael Baugh--Thank you for joining All Things Dog Blog as an Ask the Dog Trainer columnist. Your writing inspires and has earned you this award for Michael's Dogs.
8. Pat Bradley, DVM--I can't thank you enough for the hours of devotion you have given to your Ask the Vet column here. Written with such touching humor and understanding, the counselor side of you always shines through.
9. Terry Lynn Cuyler--For sticking with me as an Ask the Trainer columnist, through complications in our electronic communications, I am thrilled that you're here and always love the variety you are able to bring to your answers for our readers as their Paws Prof.
10. Leslie May at Raise a Green Dog--What can I say except that my blog is your fault! I found your site BEFORE I even conceived of a dog blog. At the time I was writing about green and organic living and your blog introduced me to a way of sharing my dogs in the light of that lifestyle. It was the perfect fit. Thank you for inspiring me.

Grab your award from the top of the page and take enjoyment in the process of choosing those you will bestow the award upon now. The rules say 10, but I'm not counting. Enjoy the journey!
