We can hardly contain ourselves - Mum and I are hosting a new photo contest/giveaway on our website to ring in the Howlidays. It's called Johann's Howling Howliday Giveaway!

And the best part? I get to play Santa!

So what is Johann's Howling Howliday Giveaway? It's a photo contest and all you have to do is submit your photo, Mum and I will put it up on the website, and then people and pups can come to the site and vote! And the best part is they can vote as many times as they want for your pic. All the instructions are on the site.

Putting together the giveway has been loads of fun. Mum and I contacted lots of new friends we've meet over the past year at companies that have all kinds of cool products, foods, treats and more, for us pups. We got an incredible response and have loads of super cool dog stuff for prizes for our contest/giveaway, and more is on the way! Some of the goodies have already arrived in the mail!

Here's all the cool stuff that's already arrived. Have to tell ya, Mum had to pull out the cheese to keep me out of the giveaway loot!


We sure want to give our biggest thanks to the companies that have donated so far:

• Dr. Harvey's donated some of my favorite treats - Power Patties.
• Paw Naturaw provided us with some of their awesome raw, dehydrated pup food.
• PetSmart is donating a Furminator Essentials kit valued at $100.00.
• GollyGear is giving some lucky pup a $25.00 gift certificate.
• RockStarPooch.com provided us with a really cool dog tee.
• Sew Crazy Dog Lady is giving away a custom collar, and they're not just for small dogs, they specialize in big dogs too!
• Chimpfeet provided us with some super cool holiday dog toys.
• Rachael Ray is giving us a paw print stocking filled with Rachael Ray Nutrish dog foods and treats.
• Hachette Book Group gave us their Indognito book to add to one of the prize packages.
• Canine Earth is donating a bottle of their new Organic Coconut Mint Cleaner and spray.
• Petside.com provided us with some cool two-legger tshirts and dog tags.
• Clean Run is donating three $10 gift certificates.
