There will be a Paw Pawty tonight on Twitter from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST with the hashtag #blogpawty. If you don’t have Twitter, but want to follow along, you can watch the streaming conversation here.
Of course, everyone is invited to attend! There will be DJ’s spinning tunes, yummy drinks and tasty noms served up by the barktenders and a TON of AMAZING pwizes to give away throughout!
I’ve never been to one before, but I’m so excited!
Hope to see you there.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Shelter Sunday: Save the Animals Foundation, Cincinnati, OH
Welcome to a brand new feature on doggies.com. Each Sunday, I will pick a shelter somewhere in the United States (at random) and feature a dog who is waiting for a forever home. Even if you can’t take this particular dog, please consider going to your own local shelter and picking up a new member for your family.
Not sure where to go? You can search PetFinder’s shelter database here.

BlogPaws Be The Change Challenge
I think it was Gandhi who said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” So, all of us who attended the BlogPaws conference are being asked to join together to help raise $500 for Pets Without Parents in Columbus, OH. In the spirit of a Paw Pawty, I invite you to participate in helping this shelter.

Have you ever heard of St. Pet’s Day?
I hadn’t heard of the St. Pet’s Day celebration until I looked in my local newspaper.
Pedigree Animal Foundation
Congratulations to the Pedigree Animal Foundation. Due to their campaign during the Westminster Kennel Club show, they collected over $205,000 from viewers to be donated in support of dog adoption. As of today, that total is up over $300,000
The Pedigree Corporation will match at least the donations made during the show (I’m not sure about other donations), so selected adoption organizations will receive a total of over $410,000!
If you want to help out, go to DogsRule.com, where you can learn about several ways to contribute. Even if you just click on the link to become a Facebook fan, you will trigger a donation of 1 bowl of dog food to a shelter. No cost to you, and a world of help for dogs!
Thanks, Pedigree!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
What do Greg Louganis & Oprah Winfrey have in common?
Both the former Olympic diving champion and the current talk show queen were featured on People Pets this week with their cute-as-a-button dogs. BTW – I can’t believe Louganis has gone totally grey – makes me feel like I might be getting old, too!
