GIVEAWAY!!! Let the Celebrations Begin!!!


It's Time to Celebrate!!!


It is hard to believe that it was over a year ago that I sat at my desk reading blogs. I had discovered a few friends with fabulous fashion blogs, and I was quickly addicted to the wonderful world of blogging! I followed a couple of blogs for two months, and contemplated starting my own... but, I wanted to have a focus for my blog... and quickly decided on dogs! So, on February 3, 2009, I dove head first into the blogosphere, and The Wet Nose was born.

For over a year, I've dreamed of reaching 100+ followers, and now that time has come! I currently have 112 followers, and I am ecstatic! To thank you, my wonderful readers, for sticking by my side, I want us all to celebrate with a fabulous GIVEAWAY!!! Let the games begin!
I've thought long and hard about the perfect giveaway, and after re-reading some posts, and your comments, consulting with friends, and knowing we all love dogs, I decided a copy of The Art of Racing in the Rain, Gourmet dog treats from Dogma Dog Bakery, and a beautiful leash rack would all suit the occasion perfectly!


I love this leash rack, and as you know, The Art of Racing in the Rain is one of my favorite books!


Here's a close up look at the leash rack! Isn't it precious, and practical, too?!?!


Dogma makes all of their treats in-house, and Milly loves them! The winner of this giveaway will get a variety of fresh treats like Carob Brownies (safe for dogs), Carrot Muffins, and Peanut Butter bars. Unlike most dog bakeries, Dogma's treats are almost all soft and chewy just like a homemade cookie or muffin should be!



Milly is very excited to package up the giveaway with me, and she's hoping you'll enjoy The Art of Racing in the Rain as much as she enjoyed getting photographed with it!

Here are the rules: To enter you MUST leave a comment on THIS post. You MUST be a follower! The giveaway begins NOW and will end 10pm EST on Wednesday, June 9th, 2010. In order to be eligible to win, your comment MUST include a suggestion for a future post - is there something you are dying to read about on The Wet Nose? Do you have a good idea for a topic you'd like covered? If you blog or tweet about this giveaway you can receive a second entry. Be sure to leave a SEPARATE comment stating you did this (with a link to your blog or Twitter feed). This giveaway contains fresh baked goods, and therefore, is only open to residents of the United States of America.

Thank you for following my blog! My readers mean so much to me!

xoxo,

Miss Muddy Paws

  3. Carly and Hershey would love the treats and I would love the book and leash rack. I would love to see a post about Heartworms and the treatment of them. We just found out last week Carly is positive. Before I get any crap for not having her on preventative, we got her from a rescue 2 months ago and they said she was negative. They never provided me with proof so I had her tested last week. Good thing we did! My vet has provided her opinion on what to do to treat, but we are going to the rescues vet Wednesday for their opinion because they (the rescue) will pay the bill if we go there.

  4. Oh...Beckett, Meadow and Carmella would LOVE these prizes!!!

    My idea for a future post - best practices on boarding your pup or having someone come in and care for him/her while you are on vacation.

  6. Future blog idea, planning for major medical emergencies for your pet or another idea is emergency medical care for your pet. Abby says she wants a leash rack, book, and treats (well she's actually just focused on the treats ;) )

  7. Congrats on your year of blogging and 100+ followers!

    For a future entry, perhaps you could write about how to keep muddy paws from muddying up the inside of your house! I end up with a mess every time it rains!

  9. I would LOVE this!!!!!!! Love love love!!!!!! My need? How about a post that discusses how to walk 2 dogs without having a tangled up mess? Do the double lead leashes work? I have a labrador and a Miniature Schnauzer and would love a more convenient way of walking them both....

  11. Miss Muddy Paws, I would love the treats to share with my dog. A great post might be about dog park etiquette or bird/gun dogs and their inborn tendencies.

  12. What a wonderful prize you have for the winner. I heard that that book is a really good one. Those treats look delicious, and that rack is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

    My suggestion to you would be to maybe once every week to have a blog or picture contest. It would help draw people in to your blog, aswell as provide a fun event for people to look forward too.

    Thank you for doing a givaway.

  14. If Milly and Miss Muddy Paws recommend Dogma's treats, I bet they're the best stuff around! Evan told me to go pick some up if I don't win the drawing.

  17. Miss Muddy Paws,

    What a great giveaway. You made me (& my Mom) homesick as we use to live in Arlington and I grew up @ Dogma. Mom and Miss Mary were friends - and she (we) would hang out there on the weekends and bake! I miss my Dogma treats! I hope I win! We could use some Dogma up here in NYC! - Abbey

  24. oh gosh I'm so bad with the ideas. Hmm you could post about songs that dogs love. When I had my dog (don't ask it's a sad story) he used to LOVE listening to Ok Go. He would just jump around here and there "dancing" to the music :)
