This past couple weeks has seen some fierce competition for one of my advertiser's necklaces. Thanks to Toby and Max for their delightful Rescued and Loved necklace that brought a crowd of entries. The winner was drawn earlier today and announced on the Rafflecopter, but pardon my technical difficulties for a late announcement by post. Congratulations to Jennifer Crissey for winning this heartwarming necklace.

Jennifer will be notified by email from my AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com account. If you don't see an email from me by Saturday evening, please check your spam or get in touch via this email.

The rest of you who did not get so lucky will have to wait for another giveaway or purchase your own special treat for yourself. After all, you give your dog treats all the time; why not do something for yourself!

Book Giveaways Continue....

Is more reading time on your To Do list for 2012? Maybe I can help. Today's giveaway announcement includes 4 books for adults that are dog-themed.


Each of these 4 books will be given away to a different winner; each will delight. Dorothy Hearst's 2 books, Secrets of the Wolves (this giveaway is hardcover; others are all paperback) and Promise of the Wolves, are among her first novels, after years of studying the Wolves of Yellowstone and interviewing international experts.


Dog On It is a Chet and Bernie Mystery by Spencer Quinn. I can vouch for this series, as I am currently reading another of these terrific books and loving it. I can't wait to read the whole series!


Follow My Lead by Carol Quinn includes a subtitle, "What Training My Dogs Taught Me about Life, Love, and Happiness. Part memoir, this book is perfect for every pet lover.


Enter below to win any one of the four. If you prefer to make your selection and order the book from Amazon, click the link at each title to locate it easily. 


If you choose to enter to win, you may enter through Thursday, January 12, 2012. Winners of the 4 prizes will be announced late on Friday, January 13, 2012.


If the Rafflecopter entry form does not appear beneath my name, simply click the title above to refresh. The form should then show up just below. Good luck!
