Thursday Barks And Bytes~A Little Bit Of Everything

 

The co-hosts for Barks And Bytes are Linda from 2browndawgs and Jodi from Heart Like A Dog.

The Barks:

First off I want to give a couple of shout out’s to a couple of blog’s I follow. First is a big thank you to Russel over at Russel Ray Photos. One day on his blog he offered a free reflection photo art of one of your photos for the first 20 people that commented on his blog. I jumped at the chance as his work is super cool and love everything he does with his photos. He just opened up his online store of Photographic Art where you can go and purchase his work.

This is the photo I sent Russel:

This is what Russel did with my picture:

Second I want to give a shout out to Jackie Bouchard over at Pooch Smooches. She has a hilarious blog about her life and her dog Rita. She is also a author and has two books published. Rescue Me, Maybe which is her second book published and her first book What The Dog Ate which I just finished reading. You can head on over to Amazon and get a kindle copy of this book for only $2.99. What a steal for such a great book.

 This was a fabulous book, once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. She kept me on my toes and wanting to know what happened next. It was a light fun read about relationships and of course dogs. You can read all about the book on her blog here.

I won a contest! Ann over at Pawsitively Pets had a St. Patrick’s day instagram contest for a chance to win a petbox, #petbox, #luckofthepetbox. Of course I had to enter Gman in his Irish costume. This is the one I submitted.

We were so happy to hear that we won. We never got a petbox before so we were super excited to find out about it. Yesterday the petbox arrived.

The dogs are wondering if the petbox is for them or for MK.

When can we open it?

As you can see from the video Gambler was super excited to get the petbox in the mail. He wouldn’t let me open it nicely to display the contents nicely to you so you get the Gambler way.

Super excited to have the box opened.

What kind of goodies are in here?

Look at all the cool stuff we got!

Thanks Pawsitively Pets!

We loved the BOGO Bowl dog food.

Even MK loved the food.

Nellie and the skinny toy.

Thank you again Pawsitively Pets for such a great prize.

The Bytes:

While reading my blogs and having my morning Chai Tea Glory decided she wanted to say Hi and read 2browndawgs blog today.

Hi Thunder, Storm and Freighter!

Bear with me if I posted this up already as I have short term memory loss. I want to tell you all how excited I am to have gotten an invitation to the UKC Premier Top Ten Invitational for the second year in a row. This makes two years in a row that my boy Gambler was the #1 Chesapeake Bay Retriever in the 2013 UKC Top Ten Dog and Breed Standings. He finished his year with 16 points. When I did a search for the most points I could only search as far back as 2007. In the past years I found one Chesapeake that had more points than Gambler two different years. So that would make Gambler the #3 dog with highest points. I am unable to go to the Premier this year. It saddens me but I guess sometimes in life you have to choose what adventures you can go on. Money is really limited right now with my wrist surgery so I am saving my penny’s to take both Gambler and Glory to Canada again this fall for a snow goose hunt. I think Gambler will much rather hunt then dance around a ring, what do you think?

MK wanted to share a couple of video’s of her:

Last weekend we cleaned out the wood duck houses down by the creek so of course I had to take my camera with.

Stop back tomorrow for our FitDog Friday post which happens to be their ONE year Blog Anniversary. Congrats!
