Fido's Freebie Friday Rings in the New Year

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

In just a few days it will be 2012. It seems just yesterday I started this blog with a lofty goal to help dog owners find the resources they need to KEEP their dogs. I had seen far too many families give up Fido when obstacles got in their way. Now with a vet and a trainer here to assist, we are able to offer you product reviews, health information, training tips, free products and inspiration to stay the course.


Offering the opportunity to win free products for your dog is just one additional way that I can help readers whose budgets are stretched in these tight times. I enjoy finding great products to share reviews of and then giving away a few of their products to my readers who enjoy playing the game. 


You may also enjoy joining in the Twitter Parties I have begun to run. This is a fun way to win great prizes, while making new friends online with other Twitter users. Check out our latest, #SuperDogPics, a party to help with Fido photos. We'll have a professional pet photographer there to offer tips, and as always, there will be plenty of free goodies to win. 


On another note, I'd like to hear from those of you who don't enjoy the "game". I know that entering drawings and contests is certainly not for everyone. Some of us don't have time and others just find no enjoyment in games of chance. So leave me a comment below and tell me what you would like to see here. Do you enjoy Twitter Parties? Obviously I'm not planning to stop giveaways, but other features could be eventually added to All Things Dog Blog. Let me hear your ideas or thoughts.


For bloggers, stopping by to link up, keep in mind that our HELP PAGE is always available to assist with linkups, photo tips, FTC guidelines and Facebook's rules for giveaways and product reviews. You'll also find the code for Wordpress.com blogs there as well.


Finally, keep in mind that linkups will continue through Friday at midnight. You may wish to return over the weekend to check out the loot that is available here. Happy New Years to you and yours!
