Mutt Monday is No April Fools!

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Last week's Mutt Monday Census was sooooo much fun! I really enjoyed everyone's comments about their dogs, both pure and mixes. Are you wondering which team ended up with the most comments? I sure was, but the game continues. 


You can continue to leave your votes at the link above, through midnight April 12. The winner, by random drawing from numbered comments, will be announced on Friday, April 13. 


If you missed last week, you may want to know that we were asking everyone to offer up a vote for "Team Xena" if they have a mixed breed dog, and "Team AKC" if they have a purebred Fido. Homes with both may vote once each for both categories. 


Of course, this Mutt Monday Census is very unofficial, but it gives me a good sense that we have a variety of pups in our readership, and diversity is definitely a good thing. Now let's see what's going on with some of the blogs who link up today.

Mixed Breed vs. Pure: Let's Tally on Mutt Monday

Somes are Surprises

I'm suddenly curious...how many of our dogs are pure vs. mixed? It doesn't matter to me, really; I just suddenly wonder. We'll call this the All Things Dog Blog census. Just for fun, let's find out. 


We can even make a game of it. Vote for Team Xena by comment if you're a mixed breed owner. Vote for Team AKC if your dog is pure anything. If your furry family includes both mixed and pure, feel free to vote once per option and of course, you can tell me all about your pups. (I expect lots of fun descriptions!)


Winner Selection: Voting will continue through midnight April 12 and the winner will be announced on April 13. One reader will get a LUCKY Friday, the 13th! I'll draw one name from all the comment/entries at this post to win a Grab Bag Prize that will include 1 bag of dog treats and a fun dog-themed Tshirt for mom or dad.


Now let's get on with highlighting pet posts around the blogosphere. Bloggers are welcome to link up their past week's postings here as a way to review them for those who may have missed something. The only rules are (1) keep it family friendly and (2) pet-themed or pet-lover topics only. Enjoy your Monday!
