Hi Humans,

As always, here are this week’s top 4:

 

1. Contest. So it took awhile, but we found the 12 dogs who will star in our 2013 calendar! we want to thank every single dog and dog parent who participated in our competition – there are so many awesome dogs out there! Honestly, we wish there were more months in the year so we could have more than 12 winners!

Thanks to everyone who voted, and a big Mazel Tov to Boss the pitbull, who won 1st place. you’re the boss, Boss!

2. Sad. one of the saddest things I’ve read in a long time, is Fiona Apple’s letter to her fans. Fiona is writing about her dying dog, Janet, in a really heartbreaking letter, which Ricky Gervais twitted about: “One of the most admirable, beautiful and heartbreaking things I have ever read”.

3. Guests. Fiona’s dying dog just made me think about my Charlie, who died a few months ago, and about the deep relationships we have with our pets. There really isn’t anything in this world that can be compared to the unconditional love we receive from our pets, and the love we give them. I would like to dedicate the next blog to your dogs: If you email me a few words about you , your dog and your special relationship, I will be more than happy to publish it here. Don’t forget to add a photo as well. So next weeks’ post is all dedicated to your dogs – by you! I can’t wait to read the stuff you’ll be sending..

4. Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Make sure you and your pooches have a holiday filled with giving, thanks, and love. (But if for some reason you’re not a big thanksgiving fan, you are invited to read “28 reasons Thanksgiving is the least sexy holiday”)

 

Happy Holiday,

Ron
