Whew! We're HOT! 10K Completed

Not only because the DogsAyeView First Annual 10K is done. You dawgs are PAWesome! But because it was over 90 degrees both days this weekend. Didn't matter to us. When we weren't in the air conditioning inside, we were laying under the sprinklers outside. It's a dog's life, isn't it?


Anyways, here are the results from the DogsAyeView 10K fundraiser in honor of our blogafursary!!!

• 804 visits = $80.40 to Friends For Life Animal Sanctuary, where dogmom adopted us... TIMES TWO, since you clicked the purple button!


• 177 comments = $17.70 to Southwest Metro Animal Rescue, which is in Chaska where we live... TIMES TWO since you clicked the purple button!


• 580 clicks = $58.00 to the Animal Rescue Site ... which, in addition, means 348 bowls of food for shelter dogs!


• 29 link-backs = $29.00 to various rescue organizations!

That's $283.20 to help more animals find their forever homes! Yeah for dogs! (And cats and hampsters and birds....) that helped!

Wuf Ya!

DogsAyeView 10K Enters Final Turn!

We're almost there, dawgs! Today's the last day to visit, click, comment, post and link and have it all mean money to rescue animals! (We hope you keep coming back even after this race is over, though!)

Dogmom is slow... she's still catching up on all the emails and comments.

She's going to post in a little while where we stand so far.

In the meantime, here's the list of all the dogs and people who linked to us and helped to spread the word. (If you're not on the list and you linked, would you send dogmom an email to remind her, please??? She's sure somebody's missing, cuz when she counted the other day there were 29... and today she only found 25. Remember, links mean DOLLARS, not dimes!)

564 purple clicks = $56.40 to Animal Rescue Site; not to mention the 338.4 bowls of food those clicks mean for shelter dogs!

29 (?) link-backs = $29.00 to various rescue organizations.

Past the 5K Mark in the DogsAyeView 10k!

Ok, so you dogs are all doing great! Here are the stats as we passed the 5K marker!

454 Visits to our blog ... That's $45.40 for Friends for Life (times two 'cuz of the purple clicks.)

74 Comments - Come on! We've heard you bark more than this at the rabbits, deer and squirrels! That's $7.40 for SW Metro Animal Rescue (times two 'cuz of the purple clicks.)

102 clicks o' the purple button. *That's 61 bowls of food for homeless dogs! And, $10.20 to the Animal Rescue Site.

29 posts on your sites linking back to our site (Totally PAWsome, dogs!) That's $29.00 to worthy rescue organizations!

So, that's just about $145... we can do better than that! Five more days to go!

Wuf Ya!

4:45 p.m. UPDATE: Dogmom said to tell ya that she's gonna assume that everybody is clicking the purple button that visits, so you don't have to include it in the comments anymore. She'd really like to see more comments, tho... so SW Metro Animal Rescue doesn't get shafted!
Wuf Ya!

10K - Through the First Turn!

TODAY'S OUR DOG BLOG ANI-FUR-SARY!

Yay! We've got all kinds of dogs... rescue dogs and Perfect dogs and purebred dogs and geesh, don't get me started on the breed name... running in the DogsAyeView 10K. You guys and gals are HOT! By the way... we've even had a hampster and some koi fish participate! No cats yet... but we think they're just waiting to pounce on us at the end.

Since several dogs asked... here's Opie's story about how he hurt his tail (it's about half-way down on that day's post): http://dogsayeview.blogspot.com/2007/06/were-back-were-tired-opie-hurt-his-tail.html.

Anyways... we thought just in case you needed some motivation in the DogsAyeView 10K to get you on to the half-way mark... here are some deer and bunnies that were in the wetlands behind our house this morning... you can chase 'em!








Wuf Ya!

Now Just a Dog-Gone Minute!

Dogs! I've got a bone to pick here. And it just won't wait until the DogsAyeView 10K is over. OK?

Now, here's my beef.

Dogmom came home at lunchtime today and she let Gomer & me outside to do our business, like she always does. Then, she got us each a Haleigh treat (remember the girl in Ohio makes them for us from scratch?). Anyways. We do our business and we get a Haleigh treat and then, know what?

Dogmom puts a leash on Gomer and tells me to stay. Apparently, he gets to go some place and I have to stay home? What's up with that?

So, I'm working really hard on the whole listening-better-so-I-don't-get-in-trouble thing. No, really, I am. Ok, maybe I'm not ..., but that's not the point.

The point is... Gomer got to go to see Dr. Kate at Pet Crossing and I didn't. Hmmmph.

Something about having to get his tooth checked (which I, like, totally don't understand since the tooth isn't even there any more!) and his funky-fungal tail checked. Double hmmmph.

Know what else? I know he got hugs and treats while he was there. I could smell 'em.

What did I get?
(Well, besides an hour and a half with the house to myself...)
What did I get,
hmmmmm?
JUST LOOK what the she did to my tail!


All because I left a few bloody-tail-swish marks on the patio blinds.

Geesh. You all better really start posting comments and clicking the purple button and telling your friends about our blog this week. Cuz the dogmom and Gomer, they really gotta pay, now!

Wuf Ya - Opie

The DogsAyeView 10K continues...

Ok... gig's up.

Dogmom was looking at her Google Analytics page last night and she wondered why there was a spike on our blog... so she finally read our blog yesterday and knows exactly what we're up to... and know what, dogs? She thinks it's a great idea and she wishes she had thought of it! (Opie says he knew she would... but I wasn't so sure myself... but then dogmom reminded us that she DID think of it!)

Anyways, she's really glad all our dogbloggin buddies are spreading the word. She said that so far, though, she anticipates that we'll be "under budget" for what she expected she would have to dole out. Can you believe that, dogs? She doesn't think we're spending her money fast enough.
'Course that just means more treats for us in the end. And then she'll start back on her, "Gomer, you're getting fat again" and "Opie, where is that greyhound tummy you used to have?" Now, dogs, we don't want that... 'cuz it means less food in our bowls and fewer treats and chew bones and more walks. Well, the more walks is ok, but the less food is a real hunger pain, ya know?

So, get busy and keep barking the news and pawing 'round your keyboards. We've got lots of work to do here!

See... here's our pawprints as proof we're helping!

First one is Opie's... and then Gomer's (really hairy feet!)...

And, here's our family "paw"trait!

Wuf Ya - Gomer & Opie
