I've Been Published!!! In Print! On Paper! I'm a PUBLISHED PUPPY!!!

Remember when I won the Frosty Paws Eating Contest at the Furry Friends Jubilee back in May?  That was awesome in and of itself, but it gets better.


Can't you see I'm reading?

A couple months ago I got an email from the contributing editor of the Full Scoop, the employee newsletter for Nestle Dreyer's Ice Cream Company.  Nestle Dreyer's makes Frosty Paws.  (For my friends who live outside of the United States, Frosty Paws are these incredibly yummy, drool-producing frozen treats for dogs -- kind of like ice cream for dogs.)  A Nestle Dreyer's employee had apparently stumbled upon my blog post about winning the Frosty Paws Eating Contest, and the editor asked for permission to reprint my blog post in the next issue of Full Scoop.  I was incredibly flattered, so of course I agreed.

The latest issue of the Full Scoop just came out, and I got my copy in the mail today.  And there I am, on the back page, with my snout deep into a Frosty Paws cup.  It brought a huge smile to my mom's face -- I guess she never thought she would have a dog who was a published writer.  Mom and dad are both very proud of me, and mom is thinking about framing the page of the newsletter that contains my photo and blog post.  Mom says she's a bit concerned that my big block head may become even bigger.


It's ME

This is good stuff



I'm still reading

I'm hoping that the back page of the Full Scoop will make some Dreyer's employees smile.  It sure makes us smile.
