Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.
A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.
I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.
Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.
My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!
Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!
You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.
Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part!
Right before Christmas my mom entered a giveaway on the Pawsh blog for a spiffy pet painting made by the fine folks at Crazy Rebels. And as luck would have it, she won! The even better part was that the painting was going to be of me!
So I helped mom look through lots of my photos, and we picked out this silly photo from a few years ago of me in my super hero cape. I thought it would look fun turned into a cartoon style painting.
The I headed over to Design Seeds and picked out the blue background color seen in the photo below.
And a few weeks later this fun painting arrived at my doorstep.
Silly and fun, just like me!
You can check out all the fun products from Crazy Rebels HERE.
I had a wonderful group of entries in our K9 Carfence Giveaway, and I loved hearing about all the fun places everyone travels with their dogs. And more importantly I loved hearing how interested everyone was in keeping their pets safe!
Sadly we can choose only one winner this time, and our winner is:
Who says: My furry babies love walking the trails at a local park. They love it so much, in fact, that they can hardly contain themselves in the backseat. So this would be perfect!
But even if you didn’t win this time, you won’t have to go home empty handed! The wonderful people at K9Carfence would like to extend a special promotional price of $88 on their K9Carfence (plus shipping and sales tax where applicable) — this is a $21 savings off normal price of $109.
To get this special promotion price, simply send them an email at safe@k9carfence.com with the subject being the Ammo Special Price to get a K9 CarFence for $88. This offer will expire January 31, 2013 so act now!

You might remember that a couple of months ago I featured a new product I had seen at an event called the K9Carfence, an in-car safety fence designed for small dogs.
Well recently the K9Carfence company offered me up a chance to take their product for a test drive.
At first I was a bit worried that I might have to give up the booster seat that I have been riding in since I was just a wee pup, but I was relieved to hear that my booster could easily fit inside the K9Carfence system.
The K9Carfence easily attaches to any front or back seat of a car (I personally prefer to ride in the back seat) to keep your dog protected and secure while riding in the car.
And while I prefer to put my booster seat inside the K9Carfence, you do have the option to simply let your dog move freely within the space. This would be great for dogs that don’t like to be confined while in the car, and still want to be able to look out of the window or easily change positions.
Should you need to take down the K9Carfence for any non-furry passengers, it easily unsnaps and can be pushed underneath a seat, leaving the seat protector in place and the seat belts still fully functional.
Or if you prefer, with a few more easy steps you can roll the entire K9Carfence into a neat little travel bag making it easy to transport into another vehicle or to stow away until you need it again.
Here’s a short video I shot while taking the K9Carfence for a test ride:
As you can see adjusting to the K9Carfence wasn’t even an issue for me, and although I didn’t test it out in any sudden stops (mom says she’s a very good driver and has a zero accident record – and I’m hoping she keeps it that way), it does seem like it would prevent me from flying around the car should we ever have an accident. And one can never be too safe when the lives of cute little Dachshunds are at stake!
Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
Fast, easy, no-tools set up
Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle
We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.
So now it’s your chance to win your very own K9Carfence!
Here’s how to win…

Disclosure: I received a product in exchange for a review on my blog. All opinions are entirely my own!
I was surprised and excited to be chosen as one of the top four finalist, and was on the edge of my seat to watch the award show which was broadcast on the Dogtime Blog on Friday.
Sadly I did not win, but in the Petties everyone is a winner, because the winners in each category get to choose an animal rescue or charity to donate their $1,000 prize to. Isn’t that fantastic!
So I send my congratulations out to all of the winners this year, and hopefully next year I’ll get a chance to be in the running for a Petties Award again!

But sadly there can be only one winner, and today’s winner is comment #28 Rebecca, who wishes every doxie had a home, and every home a doxie! (good wish!)
