The Dogs' Aye View 10K

Hey Dogs!

Dogmom planned to do this big to-do [snicker] for our Dogs' Aye View anniversary, which is this Friday, June 29th. Almost one year ago we started writing our blog!

Anyways, dogmom is kind of a statistician... and she predicted that sometime later this week our hit counter on our blog would register our 10,000th visitor. Well, you guys tricked her and sometime during the night last night the ticker turned over 10,000! We're sitting here grinning and smiling and wagging our tails, cuz she's so freaked out that she missed it. Silly human.

Anyways, dogmom planned to do this on Friday, but in honor of all our dogblog buddies that keep coming and reading our blog, she's posting it today ...

THE FIRST ANNUAL DOGS' AYE VIEW 10K:
We wanna make pawprints all over the world and celebrate our success by giving back to the people who helped to rescue us and those who work hard every day to rescue other animals from the streets or from bad situations. So, will you enter the Dogs' Aye View 10K and help us out? It's simple... just run around your keyboard ...

  • For every visitor* to the blog over the next 10 days (from Tuesday, June 26 till Friday, July 6), dogmom is going to donate 10 cents to Friends For Life Animal Sanctuary, where she adopted us!
  • But wait, there's more! She's going to donate another 10 cents for everybody that posts a comment to our blog ... about anything ... to Southwest Metro Animal Rescue, located in Chaska where we live, since they have the same no-kill philosophy about domesticated animals.
  • But wait, there's more! If you tell us in your comment that you also clicked the purple button (upper left side of our blog, under our picture... or this link) The Animal Rescue Site on our blog to help feed shelter animals ... then she's going to donate another 10 cents to EACH of these fine organizations -- Friends For Life, SWMAR and The Animal Rescue Site.
  • And, if you post a blurb and a link on YOUR blog that tells everybody and links back to us -- then she's going to donate a whole dollar (!) to the animal rescue group of your choice if you email her their information at dogsayeview@aol.com.
Got it? Four different ways to spend our dogmom's money for a good cause. We know it's a lot to remember... but we also know all the smart dogs that read our blog. Tell your dog-friends and cat-friends and even your humans - ahem, and yourselves - how much we appreciate your reading and participating in our blog over the past year and in the future. Come on, dogs! Let's organize our pack and let the pawprints be seen worldwide!

Wuf Ya !
Gomer & Opie

Here are some links:

Here's the fine print...

  • *We'll use Google Analytics to determine the number of visitors between midnight on June 26 and 11:59 p.m. on July 6.
  • All comments posted between now and 11:59 p.m. on July 6 count toward the SWMAR donation.
  • Since there's no way for us to know if you did or not, you have to tell us if you clicked the purple button ... and hopefully, you'll click the purple button at the top of their page to actually donate free food to shelter animals.
  • Don't forget to email dogmom at dogsayeview@aol.com an tell her if there is a link on your site telling your friends about our race... and your favorite rescue's information so she can get them the money. She's only human, and may not see everybody's blog in time!

Well here I am! Tell the woman to cough it up! I tried the purple link and it's dead so she has to fix it and double the amount. The Woman says she is gonna do a post on you tonight so hang in there. I gotta go to the vet and get probed now. Harumph.

Peanut said...

ah we are here and we click that purple link every day through a favorite link of moms. Oh and mom says she is going to go put up a post right now.

Ferndoggle said...

What a super cool idea!!! Your Mom is the bestest! And our Mom clicks that stinkin purple button every single day (no lie). So you can count that as many times as you'd like.

We'll have Mom put up a link to the 10k tonight!

I read about this on Peanut's blog and oh my dog this is such a great idea! I clicked the purple link (and tried to find a way to add one to my site but I don't know how! I'll e-mail you) and I'm going to add a link to your blog post today.

Rescues rule!

wally.

ps. Nanook mentioned that maybe for the next DWB get-together or celebration we should do some sort of fundraising which I think is a great idea!

Sophie Brador said...

Wow! You guys might have to mortgage the house for this one, because I think you will get lots of traffic. I will definitely click the purple button and I will also link to your site .... and you should give that $1 to whatever organization you guys think needs it the most because your mom is clearly on the ball about this stuff. Way to go Dog's Aye View doggies and mom!

Thanks everybody! So far so good. Do you think we should tell dogmom about the money part yet?

:)
Wuf Ya!

Jake of Florida said...

We think what you're doing is great! My brother, Just Harry, was rescued after a hurricane and we adopted him in September 2005. So we do appreciate all the amazing folks who devote their lives to rescue animals in distress.

We clicked on the purple link. But since we're kind of new here, we haven't yet figured out how to put a link to your site on our blog.

Anyway, good luck in this great marathon. We hope you get lots of comments and make it through the 10k!!

Hooray! I already clicked the purple button, and now I am leaving a comment. Isn't it great 3 birds in one stone!

And here's more, I've told everybody about this contest. Check this out:

Please tell your Mommy that she can choose the charity she wants to donate the $1.

Run along doggies (and humans)! Let's get this going.

Cheers!

IndyPindy said...

That's so cool! My mom does some of her holiday shopping at The Animal Rescue Site every year. They have really neat things!

Tell your human mom thanks for us! We volunteer with Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue, so we are so grateful to your mom for helping shelter dogs! Woooooo!

Balboa said...

Your mom is gonna spend a lot of money but penny, dime, and dollar will be worth it.

What a generous and loving mommy.

Hi Gomer and Opie,

Your mom is really wonderful and generous!

Jenn said...

Fox's Mom said...

I clicked the purple and am going back to the site after this post. God bless all three of you. I learned about your blog through Cubby Goes Digital, where I also learned about some great people who are helping some Boxers in Rescue get to their hopefully forever homes.

Casey said...

What a great idea, and purple paw is a great site. I'll post a link on mine. Good luck!

Hi!
I think this is great! I click the purple paw buttons everyday- a reminder is sent right to my email. Thanks for giving back to the community!

e said...

WOW!!!!!!!
This is so cool.
We're going to link you and update our blog. But maybe do that tomorrow cause we're a little sad about Scubee.

Love

I'm so excited you are donating to SWMAR! The local (Chaska) stray population is out of control and donation dollars allow us to rescue these animals and make sure they not only find a new loving home, but help us cover the cost to get them spayed/neutered to help prevent further breeding.

DogMom said...

Whoooooooo hoooooo!

Hooray for dogmom! What a great idea for helping rescue groups raise always needed funds! Although i can't say i tried your link, i visit the Pet Rescue site every day to feed the shelter animals! Can a public post on my MY Space account blog work as a "blog"?
Well, regardless, great idea and good for you!!

DogMom said...

Hey Amanda! We think that's a great idea!

Wuf Ya Everydoggie!

$1 !!! We need to go set up a link.

I think what you are doing is wonderful. I hit the purple button (then again I do so whenever I turn on the computer) and here is my comment :)

I rescued 2 dogs from our local pound one beautiful mutt and a basset hound they had no room for and were going to put to sleep!

All the best!

Eliza said...

You know who I am. My dad told me to post to help raise some money! (He said he also enjoys it when a friend spends her money!)

Yes, we clicked on the purple button (cough it up!)

By the way: I laughed and laughed when I saw the boys and the bathtub! Hee-hee! Boys are so dumb -- and chicken! You won't find me trembling in the bathtub when things get loud! I'm nice and comfy in my dad's arms!
