It's Our Blogiversary! (and our first giveaway!)

A year ago I started my blog with this post.  I started the blog because I was feeling very sad and anxious about Tubby's upcoming 10th birthday.   I knew he, and all of my dogs and cats, were getting older.  Feeling like time was rushing past me I wanted to make sure I documented their amazing lives.  I've always loved to write, and figured what better to write about then my favorite subject my dogs:

In the year that has passed I can't imagine how much I've come to enjoy blogging.   I've met dog and cat lovers  from all over the world, people who don't think I'm crazy for sharing birthdays, holidays, and every weekend with my canine and feline companions   

I've had the support of other pet bloggers in sad times, the recent loss of my sweet Dr. Zira, scary times Norbert's Bloat Emergency, and happy times like Ping's appearance in Bark Magazine!   I've shared recipes for dogs and people,  stories about some of history's famous dogs,   book reviews, product reviews, my not very good knitting, and my obsessive love of Harry Potter.   Most importantly I've learned so much from all the other pet blogger out there.


In honor of our Blogiversary we want to say thank you with our first give away, its rather a small give away since we  have some big vet bills.   We are giving away a $10.00 gift certificate to Pugs In the Kitchen.   They make really yummy treats.  We recently sampled their Cheese Pizza Noms and they were delish! and worked great for trick training.

"Hey ma, I'm giving paw give me a treat already!"

  To participate in the drawing for the gift certificate just comment on this post and we will put every ones name in a hat and draw out the winner randomly.  The winner will be announced on March 30, the day after Tubby's eleventh birthday.   The winner will get the gift certificate e-mailed to them and can order a plethora of tasty tidbits!   Sign up below.

We hope to have lots  more fun this year with lots of exciting stuff to share.   Starting with Tubby's upcoming eleventh birthday!   (Plus there is the possibility of a new young addition to the family in the upcoming months!)
