A quick bark...

Finnigan says: Greetings, loyal followers. I have only a few moments to post tonight so I will merely direct you to my Dogster page.
You now have my permission to wait with baited (doggy)breath for my next post.
Farwell for now.

Cat says: Me too! Me too! I have a Dogster page, too! Check it out and tell me what you think! Maybe we can be pup pals?

Note from Dog Mom

Dog Mom says: Hello to my pupsters' adoring public. I'd like to apologize for the long delay since I last sat down and used my opposable thumbs for the benefit of blessing you all with The Finnigans presence and Cat's friendly nature.
My father passed away on November 27 and it has been a very difficult time. Blogging was not high on the priority list, but it is time to get back on the (chuck) wagon for the sake of my dogs.
Seriously, Finnigan is ranting about how dogs everywhere are lost without his guidance and Cat just sits and stares at the computer longingly. She misses her friends.

Soon, my little fur babies....very soon.


Oh-and for anyone with a dog-related business (or book or product or out there....send me something to review! As my fur babes would say: Throw us a bone, already!

Finnigan: No, no, there is no need to bow in my presence. Seriously, you may rise. Now, wall know that you all wish to be just like me, for I am Finnigan the Great and One and Only.
And while that's sweet, there's not really anything I can do to help you with that one.
After all, I am the One and Only. I didn't go to school, but I know that One plus One equals more than Only.
So, with that said, you are hereby ordered to be satisfied with continued hero worship of His Royal Pawsomness and yours truly, Finnigan.
Oh, and Cat has some news about a contest or something.
Cat: Seriously Finn, have you ever considered getting counseling for that self-esteem problem you seem to have? Geesh!
But for those of you who are buying into Finnigan's shinnanigans, (that's a fun word!), here is your chance to "be" like Finnigan with a chance to own a very cool Boodie Kiss Doggie T-shirt! Remember my pretty pink one? It totally brought out the gleam in my coat! So if you want to try to win one, bark at us with a comment and valid email address. One winner will be selected on Mon., Dec. 3, at 10 p.m. E.S.T.
Good luck and Bark on!

We have a winner!

Finnigan: Greetings, underdogs. I, The Great Finnigans, have returned to grace thee with my presence. What's that? You'd like to kiss my paw? Of course, my loyal subjects. Of course...(It is so taxing being royalty. You'd never guess that..)
Cat: Ummm. yeah. (Blech!) We are supposed to be announcing our winner of Haint, Finnigan. Not waxing poetic about the royal life of you. Geesh. Talk about a royal Pain in the hiney.
Anyway, Bobbe and Sara have been selected as our winner of an autographed copy of Haint, by author and Dogster's For The Love of Dog Blog editor Joy Ward. Thanks to all who entered. I like making new friends.
Speaking of friends, anyone want to send us anything new to review? Throw us a bone? Please? You know you want to. *wink, wink*

Note from Dog Mom: My apologies for not posting as much. My father is in the hospital right now.

'Haint' it cool?? Win a book!

Finnigan: Good day, my furry minions and human adorers. I realize it has been quite some time since Cat and I have graced you with your puppy wisdom and charm, but we have been quite busy. (Well, Dog Mom has been busy, so that translates into us being too busy to blog.)

But we are back now with a new contest and reason to convince you that we are the dog blog to follow. (Free stuff always works for luring humans, right? I know dog treats work for me.)

Cat: Remember when Dog Mom read Haint by Joy Ward and we got to review it on Ruff Ruff? Well Joy has contacted Dog Mom and offered an autographed copy of Haint for one lucky Ruff Ruff reader! How totally pawsome is that?

All you have to do is leave a comment with a valid email address (cuz if we can't contact you, your entry won't count!) telling us what your favorite dog-inspired reading is. Is it a book? A magazine? A certain blog, perhaps? *wink, wink*

Dog Mom says: Contest deadline is Friday, Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. EST. Winner will be notified by email no later than Nov. 24.

Congratulations to our winners

Finnigan: May the paws be with you, my loyal puppy minions. We have chosen our winners for our first ever contests on Ruff Ruff and wanted to thank everyone for signing up.

Cat: Wkberry is the winner of the pet massage from Gentle Paws Pet Massage and JB from Bellevue, Ohio is the winner of the crate quilt from Boodie Kiss Pet Couture. Pretty cool, huh?
Keep reading Ruff Ruff for cool reviews and chances to win some pretty pawsome prizes!

There's still time

Dog Mom says: The contest for the crate quilt will end tonight at 10 p.m. EST. A winner will be chosen and contacted at that time!
So sign up for your chance to win!
