Patches Photobombs our Shoot

#SuperDogSunday certainly did come off well last night. We all had fun, learned a lot, and our sponsors dished a bunch of prizes. Thank you to Zuke's for sponsoring! And finally, thank you to all of you who have supported this event for 5 years running. You guys rock!

If your were unfortunate enough to miss this fun event, you'll still be able to read some of our great tips on the Zuke's blog, posted here. You'll find more great tips and ideas on our blog  as well as our team's blogs: Dogtipper and To Dog With Love.

What's more, we all enjoyed seeing photos of your active pets. Even our Patches got into the mix, showing off her propensity to be a dog treat thief! While we were running a photo shoot for this event, Patches decided she was not going to be left out; participate is definitely what she did. Watch for our Photobomb video coming soon as an All Things Dog Blog bloopers reel.

While Patches was having her fun with Tanner and Oliver, one of our long time readers was creating a thank you note to our team and our Zuke's sponsor that I just have to share:

#SuperDogSunday: Active Minds and Bodies

Doga Workout: Good for Us All!

Here at All Things Dog Blog we've got our own funky way of dealing with #SuperDogSunday. Many would say we're nuts, but the dogs and I enjoy our mental and physical activity in lots of fun ways--often with #doga--yoga with the dogs.

In order to share some of our silliness with you, hubs shots some pics of our adventure through two or three simple poses. Oliver did some great stretching, balancing and twirling, Tanner worked on his self restraint by leaving the treats alone, even when I placed them on the floor in front of his toes, and both boys practiced running in for the Doga session when I called "Come!". Football players do something similar at the opening of the Super Bowl, but they aren't so lucky as to be rewarded with Zuke's treats:

When the dogs and I are well worked out, we'll be ready for the big game and all that sitting. I'll admit I'm not one to jump up and cheer unless the Packers are playing, which sadly, they are not. They did come very close, but not close enough. Meanwhile, the dogs are all dressed out for the game and ready to run in and kick off some fun:

While we watch the game the dogs will likely be snoozing after their doga workout. Especially Oliver, whose balancing twirls can sometimes get a bit tiring. Tanner tires out more easily these days, pushing onward toward age 9 now. I like giving him treats that are good for his joints, since Retrievers are prone to hip displaysia. That's why one of his favorites is Hip Action with Glucosamine and Chondroitin. So far so good for this boy's hips. He continues to swim regularly and we keep his weight on the light side to assure there's no stress on those joints. Hip Hip Hurray for Zuke's Hip Action!

Watch for more doga fun, rewarded by Zuke's treats, coming soon. And don't forget to RSVP to join the party. We hope to see you all on Thursday evening at 8 PM ET, when we'll be handing out more than $750 in Zuke's treats. Be sure to bring your active pet pics to share. We love seeing your pups in action! In addition, you can enter our pre-game #giveaway here.

Help Us Save Dogs and Cats with Cancer!

One of our longtime Event Barkers clients has been Zuke's, makers of USA-made treats that focus on fueling your pet's active lifestyle. This goal has been at the core of the Zuke's principles since their inception. The team here at Event Barkers loves to encourage our dogs to maintain a busy mind and body. Much of my posting involves these and related topics, so we're happy to join this charitable effort.

Our #FueltheLove Twitter Party, opening at 8 PM ET this evening, will feature information on the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund and how it helps pet parents with the cost of cancer treatment. Just by participating, you'll be helping to fund this charity, as Zuke's will be donating $5 per photo per pet, when you submit a picture of your dog in his favorite activity tagging it @ZukesPets #FueltheLove.

Feel free to submit multiple photo posts of different pets during the party and join us with your extra pet pics just to share and have fun showing off your furry friends. We'll all be there doing the same to help the DCCFund make its fund raising goal of $10,000 this year. Zuke's hopes to up their game when it comes to helping pet parents, and you can have fun while aiding them in meeting their goal. What's more, you can win great packages of Zuke's treats just for joining in the party, or for entering the pre-party giveaways you'll find at the announcement post. There's $750 in treats up for grabs, so why not join us!!!

Learn more about the DCCFund here:

We look forward to seeing you this evening at #FueltheLove. We'll be online around 7:30 for checkins. Say hello to @EventBarkers and don't forget to pay respects to our sponsor, @ZukesPets. Have a wonderful day!

#FueltheLove Helps Pets Beat Cancer

All Things Dog Blog and our Event Barkers partners, DogTipper.com and ToDogWithLove.com are sooo excited to share this very exciting Twitter Party announcement. We're thrilled to play a small part in this charity effort that will raise needed funds for the the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund (DCCF). The Dog and Cat Cancer Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to understanding, treating and preventing canine and feline cancer.  Zuke's is out to help pet parents challenged by the costs of cancer treatment, by donating $5 for every tagged photo shared with the hashtag #FueltheLove. That donation sounds like a whole lotta love, yes?!!!

As you share your photos of your dog in action and loving life, Zuke's will Fuel the Cure with their donations. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?!!! So join us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter by sharing your photos and videos with the #FueltheLove hashtag and @ZukesPets handle--one photo or video per pup, please. Don't forget to follow @ZukesPets on Instagram so you can watch the fun-filled entries. Your participation on social media and in the Twitter Party will help families get financial support to see their pets through treatment. 

Pssst...did you know that there are approximately 6 million dogs diagnosed with cancer each year? Many are unable to opt for treatment due to the high cost. That's where you can help with your Tweets and social media sharing of your dog's action photo.

Are you wondering how much money we're talking about? Last year this fund-raiser chalked up $2,500, but this year Zuke's is aiming much higher--$10,000!  So hunt up your best pet pic of each of your furry friends and let 'em rip with #FueltheLove @ZukesPets. We can't wait to see your best friends.

To learn more about how Zuke's will help the DCCF, join us for the #FueltheLove Twitter Party Sunday, June 22, when we'll be handing out loads of prizes--Zuke's dog treats, of course! Even if you can't make the party, you can still join in our pre-event giveaways. Three winners will score a pile of treats valued at about $70, enough to keep your pup's sweet tooth tuned up for quite a while. The remainder of the total $750 in prizes will be awarded during the Twitter Party, so mark your calendar for June 22 and plan to bring your dog pics for some photo sharing fun.

Want to learn more or see more photos? Check out the Facebook page for this event and visit the #FueltheCure Flickr page where all the photos are shared. Watch for Tanner and Oliver to appear there lending support in memory of our much-loved Xena who cheerfully survived liver cancer for 3 years. #inspiring

To enter to win our pre-event giveaways, simply use the Giveaway Tools form at the bottom of this post. If you don't see it down there, it's probably off working to #FueltheLove. You can bring it back on duty by simply clicking the post title to alert it. Enjoy the variety of entries, using only those you choose. Keep it fun and remember that this is all to help the DCCF raise money to help families like yours in need of treatment dollars. Thanks for participating.

One last little tidbit: To help you remember the event, and also to give you a place to record your questions, we've created a printable flyer to place beside your computer or on your refrigerator. Now you can be ready and oh so organized on the night of the event!

Thanks for helping us Fuel the Cure,

Zuke's Does Thanksgiving for Dogs

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

You can fill your Kongs or other fillable toys with Thanksgiving leftovers. Just be sure to use pure foods--no ingredients that are dangerous to our Fido friends, like onions. Above you'll find some of our dog's favorite fillings.
The recipe I followed went something like the image below, except the turkey didn't make the photo. I'll be cooking that tomorrow and it will definitely make the next batch! Yummy :)

Event Barkers is working with Zuke's to help them gain online exposure and share the news of their new products.
