Dog Blog Giveaway

Okay buddies - it's time for a giveaway. As you know my Mom hasn't been very well but she is slowly getting better and part of that means doing things she loves, like crafts and making stuff. Mom and I got to thinking the other day and realized there was no cards specifically for dogs. When someone looses a pet it is just as devastating as loosing a child, and when a pet has a birthday - shouldn't they be able to get neat cards too. So Mom started creating and came up with a whole range of cards just for Dog Blog Buddies. She has Sympathy, Get Well, Birthday, Missing You, My Blog Buddy, Valentines, St Patrick's Day, Easter and basically all the major holidays. Here is a sample of the cards - remember to click on the photo to see them bigger. Oh, I forgot to mention there is plenty of room on the back of the cards to write a message.

We are going to give away 3 sets of 5 cards, plus Mom has made envelopes for each card too. So what is the challenge you ask - it is easy. Mom will give each contestant a number and in two weeks time I will pick the winners. Anyone is welcome to enter (even those not in the USA) - so tell your Blog Buddies to come on by. We know it's not always easy to sneak up on a snoozing doggie - so you have 2 weeks to take a photo or hunt through your old ones. Closing date is the 3rd of March 2011.

THE CHALLENGE
What we want to see is the funniest, cutest or most adorable pictures you have of yourself sleeping - all four feet in the air, laying in the sunshine, on the arm of the sofa, with your head on the pillow, curled up in a flower garden, snuggled in a blanket, in a box - what ever. I am sure some of you even have some pictures of you in your PJ's !!!

Post the pictures on your blog and then come back and leave me the URL and a little description about the picture. How easy is that ? Get those camera's out Mom's and Dad's and start snapping!

  2. Don't you know princesses have to sleep properly? They can't have funny sleeping positions because that wouldn't be very princess-like would it?

    I am pretty upset I won't be able to take part in this giveaway because the cards are sooo pretty but, I wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of the whole world with a un-princess-like sleeping pose!

  7. Reilly, this sounds like a great idea. I've got just the picture of Trudy to enter, and will post the URL soon.

    I have a question though: Whenever you say your Mom has posted something on the blog, like the pictures of the cards on this post, I never can see a link to see the photos or other content. Is there a secret paw-shake I haven't been told about?

  8. I just started my blog in the fall of 2010, and this picture, taken in the fall of 2008, was my second post. I like looking at LOLcats and LOLdogs, so I created this LOL of Trudy.

    so glad Mom is feeling up to a give away ... and able to think about other people - what a brutal year you have all had :(

    this is Brody entry .. Sally and Thea and Sampson all have cute sleeping pictures too - but I thought of this one as soon as I read your post - partly because I've never seen Brody there before and partly because he was just so horrified by our houseguests that weekend!

  14. Well, what a happy coincidence. Khyra sent me over here on the very day that I posted a most curious sleeping photo of my large and handsome self. You can see it here.

    P.S. Our doggie store sells doggie cards. Momma always cries when she buys a Rainbow Bridge one.

  15. Oops, I forgot to leave a description. Well, the thing is that I am a very deep sleeper and I also have lots of extra lips and jowls so at times, well, there is a bit of the inner me showing.

    This is Seren when he was a puppy last year. I was giving him a little brushing and had my feet up on another chair. He stretched out on my legs, then fell asleep...suspended above the floor :)

  22. I just found your blog -- man I hope I'm not too late! It's not 6 p.m. in Texas yet... :)

    Well, just in case, I'm contributing this pic of me sleeping on my humans' bed. I knew I wasn't allowed to be all the way on, so I came up with a sort of compromise:
