You'll Never Guess Where We Are!! Chanukah. AND Post 1-0-0. Yippee!!

The above photo is us in the front lobby of our hotel. Take a good look at the sign below. It says PETS STAY COMFORTABLE. This is where we are staying right now. The Red Lion Inn in Bellevue, Washington. Our mommy is very happy that there is such a nice hotel that welcomes us with open arms. She thinks the bed & pillows are extra comfy too. Thanks Red Lion.

This is Hootie telling Daddy that it's time to wake up. We have a long day ahead of us.

Here I am checking out Mom's purse. See the little blue bone to the right---that's for picking up poo when we go out for a walk. Cute, huh?
Here we are in our kennels. Not bad, 'cuz we have nice pillows in them and they are comfortable.

This is the thermometer that will go to the winning pooch. We have one just like it and think it's very cool because it has the temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit AND in dogs!! Our folks purchased them at a wonderful store in Polson, Montana called Three Dog Down. Not many places have the consideration to measure the weather in dogs like they do. BOL. (This place has terrific down items...check it out!)

We couldn't tell you this before, but yesterday we picked Daddy up at the airport in Spokane and from there we drove across Washington State to Seattle!! Up until we picked Dad up we got to sit in the car seats, but after we had to stay in our kennels. It was a long trip (about 9 hours in all) but well worth it. We got to see our hooman sissy, Jessica and her husband, David! We were a birthday surprise for Jessica this morning. She had NO idea when her hubby took her out to breakfast at JoeBar that we would be there waiting for her. (Guess who forgot to bring her camera...oh mother.) Tonight the folks are going over to a big party for Jessica with the theme "Back In Black". Something to do with electricity, AC/DC. We get to stay at the hotel in our kennels. Oh goody.

Update: This pic is of Jessica changing the music at her party. She wears feathers in her hair!!

Now, for those of you of the Jewish faith we want to wish you a very happy 1st day of Chanukah. Last night was the first night to light a candle on the menorah, the 25th of Kislev on the Jewish calendar. It's a real festival of light!!

AND last but not least, this is our 100th post. When we get back to farrr North Idaho we will draw the winners of the 1-0-0 Give Away. You still have a chance to win if you leave a comment after this post. The polls don't close 'til Tuesday morning.

To wrap this all up, we want to wish our hooman sister, Jessica, a very Happy 29th Birthday! Mommy will take pics tonight and post them on her blog soon.

We love all you good buddies.

Spring Fling Give Away Winners!

Grand Prize

Here is the moment we've all been waiting for!!



3rd Place winner is: Chase



2nd Place winner is: Mason Dixie



AND the Grand Prize Winner is: Asta



Now, we need to notify each winner to arrange for the prizes to be mailed out. Congrats to all the winners and thank you to all the pups who entered the Spring Fling contest. We are so glad to have made your acquaintance!



Asta, now you must choose one of these 5 prizes (below) to go with your new leash & collar. Let us know which one you would like. Or, you can trade the leash & collar for one of the 3 larger prizes. We're easy!

What is this? Mommy said we had to have at least one Airedale winner, so Daddy was instructed to keep drawing until an Airedale popped up. Well, his very next draw was Maggie & Mitch. Good. Now this is finally over!! XO-BRD & Hootie

Spring Fling Give Away!!

First prize winner gets a choice between these 3 items: An AKC Bone Toss, an AKC Jai Alai Ball Toss and a Doggy Hoots Tug-o-Rama. Hootie seems to be interested in the ball toss! 2nd & 3rd prizes will be of our choosing. They're all good though!

This beautiful leather leash and collar will also go to the grand prize winner. (Mommy purchased a size small matching collar too, in case a little dog is the winner.)

We had so much fun in February with our Grand Opening Give Away that we decided to have a Spring Fling Give Away. Mommy got a "screamin' deal" on some cool doggy toys so we are itching to give some away. (Well mostly Hootie is itching---he has allergies!) The only thing you need to do to be in the drawing is sign up as a follower of our blog. To get extra entries, just stop by and leave a comment on our blog. We will count comments from March 17th until March 24th at 4pm PST. Each comment counts as an extra entry and we can tell you from the previous contest that the folks with the most entries were the top 3 winners! Oh, and if you sign our guestbook you will get 2 extra entries. So, get those paws a clicking on the keyboard! Fun prizes await you!

Lucky Dog Give Away!!!

OUR BLOG GRAND OPENING GIVE AWAY!!

Okay pups and peoples. Here is the story. Our mommy went out and bought some really cool AKC Green Planet toys for us the other day. We liked them so much we decided that we wanted to share with some lucky dog (or hooman), so we’re going to have our very first give away.

We’re dogs, but we want to keep this simple because we know some hoomans will want to get in on the action. The rules are:

1- Each comment left will be equal to one entry.

2- No more than two comments per day, per blogger.

That’s about it. Tuesday, Feb. 10th will be the last day for entering, so tell all your buddies to stop by and enter. If we get deluged with entries, we may increase the number of prizes to be given away. So far our 2 followers have a great chance of winning!! Good luck.



Hootie was so interested as Mommy was taking pictures of the prize otter. He slowly worked his way up to it.

He is such a sneaky little fellow! He almost got it but Mommy was quicker than he was!
