Dogs Rule Day and the Saturday Blog Hop

Oh boy, oh boy. Mom and dad treat me great every day but TODAY they have to treat me extra special. Don't know about Dogs Rule Day? Check out the website and Facebook page. Be sure and read the 101 ways to celebrate - we are working down the list as I type this!

I am getting in the belly rubbing position right now and there better be someone there to rub it!

If you read the ways to celebrate the day don't miss all the references to adopting dogs and  helping out shelters. This is all part of Pedigree's Adoption Drive. To all my dog pals, have a great day! Fur everyone else -  you have a good day living in a world where dogs rule (well, for one day anyway).

And now it's off to the hop!

Pedigree Write A Post, Help A Dog

Tomorrow (September 19) is the deadline for the Pedigree Write A Post Help A Dog Campaign. The brilliant social media people (or maybe it was the Head Dog there) came up with this great idea to promote their brand and their very wonderful work helping create awareness for adopting from a shelter. Even Mashable picked up on the campaign.

While Pedigree hopes people will adopt shelter dogs, this campaign helps provide food for the dogs still there. For every blog that is posted about the campaign and for every new Facebook Fan (or "Like" as Facebook changed it), Pedigree will donate a 20 pound bag of dog food to a shelter.

What I like about the Pedigree campaign is they emphasize RESPONSIBLE adoption - meaning families need to know what it means to adopt a dog and understand the commitment so the dog will find a real furever home!

So if you haven't already written your post or "liked" Pedigree on Facebook, what are you waiting for? Be sure to add it here!
