The $500 donation is one of the biggest reasons I hoped to win the DogTime Media Best Dog Blog Award. It took some doing to work out the details, but I had the chance to celebrate the donation that YOU made possible last Friday. Thanks, again, for your votes!!
Remember how I put a stopwatch to Ginko and timed his speed eating? Well, I have good news and one clarification about our ongoing bloat prevention plans here at Chez Champion of My Heart.
We plan to do some actual product reviews, including video and photo footage of Lilly’s response to various toys in particular, but for now, let’s just recap what we found in our BlogPaws West schwag bag.
Last week, Mary-Alice from Dog Jaunt, a great blog all about dog travel, posted our guest post about the dos and don’ts of hiking in rattlesnake-prone regions. I hope you will check it out. Dog Jaunt has a whole new graphic look and even a neat Dog Jaunt Store, including dog travel stuff and shirts that say … “Because you dog will never ask are we there yet.”
The experience of winning the DogTime 2010 Best Dog Blog Award at BlogPaws West this weekend still astounds me. I may have managed NOT to cry on the podium, but I’ve been pretty weepy ever since.
Do not worry. Everyone at our house is fine, but we are devastated to report the loss of one of our dear, sweet Great Dane friends, Belle, whose tummy twisted last week. She was only 6. RIP, darling Belle.
Well, kids … thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Without all your nominations and votes, this would not be possible. Champion of My Heart won the DogTime Best Dog Blog Award at BlogPaws West in Denver today. I am humbled and shocked and excited. I promise to write more later, as soon as photos and video, etc. are available. But, I just wanted to let you know as soon as I could. Stay tuned for real details. M’wah! M’wah! M’wah!
I have no clue! We find out at lunch today if we won that DogTime Best Dog Blog Award. Honestly, we don’t expect to win because one of our fellow nominees has a HUGE online and social media presence (and a bazillion followers). Still, they told all of us to prepare a little acceptance speech, and we had to sign video waivers because the whole thing will be filmed. So we’ll see.
Once upon a time there was a writer girl with a fearful dog, she started a blog to lament their failures, celebrate their successes, and chronicle their daily lives in hopes of someday getting a book deal … I’m happy to report good news.
Voting for the DogTime Best Dog Blog Award ends tomorrow, Friday, Aug 20, so if you haven’t voted for us (using every email address you have), could you make time to do that today? Please? For extra credit, ask everyone you know to do the same. We’d be forever grateful.
