My Friday Finds for 6/7/2013


Oh doggness...I have found Contests, Prizes and Awards!!!

Contest
Did you know???  Nearly 90% of the roughly 140 million pets in the United States create some sort of mess in their home, and a third of those messes are likely to happen at least once a week.  (Hmmm, this immediately brings to mind two pals - Sage and Misaki - since they love their mud!)

According to a recent pet survey, nine in ten pets mess up their home in some way, proof that although we furry friends are cute, we aren’t always clean.  Pruven, a line of pet mess management and prevention products, is inviting pet owners to submit photos of their messy pet to, “Cute but Caught: America’s Cutest & Messiest Pets Photo Contest”.

Interested pet owners can log-on to the Pruven contest website (www.pruvenpet.com/cutebutcaught) to submit a photo of their adorable, messy pet caught in the act; whether shredding pillows, scratching doors or muddying carpets (hint, hint Sage and Misaki!!!). 

And the best part???  For every entry one dollar up to $2,000 will be donated to the Greg Biffle Foundation. Founded by NASCAR driver, Greg Biffle, the foundation works to drive awareness and advocate for the well-being of animals by partnering with shelters and humane societies across the country.


Prizes
So, what do you win if you win the “Cute but Caught: America’s Cutest & Messiest Pets Photo Contest”?  Good question!

The first 500 entrants will receive a free Pruven Pet Hair Roller.

And one pet owner will win the full line of Pruven pet products and a $3,000 gift card so they can pamper themselves and their pet.

$3,000?!?  What are you waiting for?!?  Submit your dirty dog (or cat...sorry) photos now!!!!  BOL

Awards

Many of you may know already but...The Petties, DogTime's Pet Blog Awards are now accepting nominations through June 28, 2013 at Midnight PST.  You can make one nomination per person per day. 

There are several categories including Best Dog Blog, Best Cat Blog, Best Designed Blog, Best Pet Mobile App, Best Rescue/Cause Blog, Best Overall Pet Blog....on and on.  I have already made some nominations of the blogs I love to visit and you should too! 

And in case you aren't sure who to vote for in the Funniest Blog category, I just happened to find this little ditty hiding on my computer (shameless plug...*innocent look*):



There once was a dog whose wit was quick
and writing silly poems on his blog was his schtick.
Funniest Blog, I connote
at the Petties you should vote
if you howled and laughed when he posted a Limerick.

BOL!  I hope you all have a great weekend!
