My BlogPaws SWAG GIVEAWAY and Other Cool Contests!

First I want to tell you about two GREAT contests that are going on right now.

Our friends at Animal History Museum are having a contest called Stories of Older Animal Adoption.  If you have a great story to tell about adopting a senior animal, you could be in one of their museum exhibits!  You can enter through the Animal History Museum Facebook page.  We have so many friends who were adopted as seniors or middle age doggies and have made their human mommas and daddies SO happy.  Please tell all your friends and help us spread the word about this awesome contest and the awesomeness of older doggies!

Next, our friends at Pruven, who we met at BlogPaws, are having a contest called Cute But Caught: America's Cutest and Messiest Pets.  (And yes, it does seem like this contest was made for me.)  I've already entered a few of my best muddy lab photos, but I encourage you to enter as well, and tell all your friends about the contest.  You could win a $3,000 gift card!  (Not to mention MAJOR bragging rights!)


Mud, a stick and water = lab paradise

And finally, I have a problem.  


What am I gonna' do with all this swag?

Because both mom and dad accompanied me to BlogPaws, we got two swag bags, and twice as much swag.  I accumulated WAY too much swag, and I need to give some of it away.  So I'm having a BlogPaws Swag GIVEAWAY!  Two lucky winners will each receive a box full of swag from BlogPaws.

I apologize to my kittie friends, but all of my swag is doggie-related.  I promise I'll make it up to you by having a kittie-related prize giveaway soon.  I also have to apologize to all of my friends who live outside the United States.  Momma says we have to limit this contest to U.S. residents because some of the swag can't be shipped to other places and apparently it costs a lot to ship a box of swag outside the U.S.

To enter, just use the Rafflecopter thingy below.  You can enter any time between now and July 5.  This is so exciting!  I love to give away stuff!

  2. We're actually not super messy, but there was this time when our yard was mostly dirt (it was a VERY dry summer and there were water restrictions in place). Abby rolled around in the dirt and when we came back inside, both of us were the same color! Mom was not pleased! Good luck with your contest entries, Garth. And you know us... We're always up for a chance to win some swag! :-)

  4. Ahhh! It ate our comment. Anyway, to recap, we aren't very messy, but one summer Abby was out rolling in the dirt, and when we came back inside, we were both the same color! Mom was NOT very happy. And Abby got a bath. Teehee! Good luck with your messy and handsome contest, Garth - that is tailor-made for you! And you know us... Always up for a chance to get some swag!

  5. Hi Garth

    Fun contest, looks like all kinds of good stuff. The best mess I ever made was when I chew up Mom's flip flop and spread it all over the house.

  12. Oh boy, that's a good question Garth...I've had so many muddy days but probably the best/worst was when I got into Momz flower bed right after she put down new mulch. I dug all the mulch out, then dug a hole to China and came out the messiest, muddiest I've ever been

  13. I don't make a lot of messes. Hmmm. I guess what Momma would say was my biggest mess was when she came home too early and caught me trying to surprise her by sorting the recyclables. But if she'd just come home on time, I would've been done and it would all be picked up!

  24. Our newest family member, Diamond, loves getting dirty. We just planted some new trees in the yard and after watering them Diamond decided to go digging and rolling in the wet mud. She was a mess : ) So we took her in for a bath where she enjoyed shaking the wet mud off instead and trying to jump out of the bath getting the walls. floors and tub full of dirt.
