OH MY DOGNESS!!

We had 110 degrees of hot here!

And believe me, that is hot!

It's all I can do to run from one shady spot to the next!

I wish someone would invent outdoor air conditioning!

If anyone has any cold they are not using,

may I borrow it for a few days?

Thank you!

What?

 

What do you mean "It's Here?"

You do know it's 3AM right?

Oh the book!!

It's now on Amazon?

And I can buy it if I click here?

 BUY THE BOOK

Wow!

Can you come back about 7:30?

I can probably have both eyes open by then!

===

But YOU don't have to wait!

Go now and buy

"Can I Have Some Of That?"

to raise money for

French Bulldog Rescue Network

and

Chase Away K9 Cancer.

And remember,

even if you don't have a Kindle,

if you buy the book and let the tall guy know,

he'll send you a free PDF version

that you can read.

Hurry!

Your puppy is hungry RIGHT NOW!

DO NOT READ THIS POST

unless you want to see our BRAND NEW RECIPE BOOK!

 

(Picture from

The Great Pannycake Caper of 2009!)

The book is ready and raring to go!!

The tall guy has submitted the book to the Amazons so it should be available in a couple of days.  If a bunch of people buy it when it first becomes available, then it becomes one of Amazon's Hot Sellers and it gets recommended to a lot of people and then more people will buy it!  It's a good vicious cycle!  We will let you know when it shows up on the Amazons.

We ended up with 27 recipes and some of them are even actual

REAL FOODS that you can actually even EAT!!

So tell all of your friends to go buy the book.

Remember, all the money (except for what Amazon gets)

will go to the French Bulldog Rescue Network

and

Chase Away K9 Cancer organizations.

Now we know that some of you do not have the Kindle

and, unfortunately, there is not a hard copy available yet.

So, the tall guy said that if you buy the Kindle version

and let him know, he will send you a PDF version that you

can look at on your computer for absolutely free!

(Not that you can't look at stuff on your computer for free right now.

He means he will send you a free version of the book to put on your computer.

Sometimes I think he gets discombobulated.)

Is This My Best Side?

This is what happens when the tall guy tries to take my picture while he's sitting at the computer.  Heaven forbid he would get up out of the chair and get a GOOD picture.

But now to the good news.  All the votes are in and the top vote getter is:

French Bulldog Rescue Network

Second place vote getter is:

Chase Away K9 Cancer

Many thanks to everyone who voted.  Now we need to decide how we want to make our donations.  So please leave a comment below and let the tall guy know if you would like to give the donations to one organization or split them between the two top vote getters.  

We will look at all the comments and make the big announcement on Friday.  AND we will have the big book unveiling on Friday as well.  You will get to see the book before it goes on sale on Amazon.  We ended up with 24 recipes (including about 7 or 8 'special' recipes from dogs themselves).  The tall guy says thank you to everyone who sent in a recipe!  (And he says if you meant to send in a recipe, but just kept forgetting, that if you send it in by tomorrow, he will be able to include it in the book.)

All the pretty colors!!!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE!!

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!

Somehow I don't think you're supposed to look stoned when they take the red-eye out of your pictures...

I think I'll let the Tall Guy write the rest of this post.

TG:  Thank you for all the well wishes after my recent celebration of The Poisoning of the Food holiday.  A good time was had by none, but I'm feeling much better.  Unfortunately, I have no idea what I ate that caused it, but I did lose 10 pounds!

It's time to select which organization we would like to support with the recipe book proceeds.  If Jack has done things right, you should see a place to vote on the right hand side of your screen.  I think Blogger will only let you vote once.  The voting will be open until Tuesday, June 21.

Here are the nominees (you can click on the name to see what they do):

•  Hearts In Harmony 

•  The Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine

•  Arizona Golden Retriever Connection 

•  French Bulldog Rescue Network 

•  All For One

•  Old Dog Haven

•  Humane Society of Missouri

•  A Chance For Bliss

•  WorldVets

•  Saving Death Row Dogs

•  Coast and Canyon Wildlife Rescue

•  Chase Away K9 Cancer

•  Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary

I'm still waiting on a few recipes, but the book is about 90% complete.  We'll have a big unveiling when it's ready to go on sale.

We can also decide if we want to give all the money to the top vote getter or split the money between the top two vote getters.  Hopefully there will be enough money to be able to do that!

I've asked Madi's mom to help me with all the money stuff.  Amazon doesn't start paying until 60 days have passed (in order to take care of returns).  As of now, there will only be a Kindle book (as that is the only one that Amazon allows you to sell by yourself), but I may put the other versions on another site so that more people can help.

I would like to thank everyone for helping with this project.  It's sad to see how many organizations there are that really need money., but hopefully we will be able to help a little.

And Jack is right.  He DOES look stoned in that picture!  But then again, the way he normally acts, it might be hard to tell if he was! :)

I Did Not Know That Such A Thing 

Even Existed!

Well, it's been an interesting weekend around here.  The tall guy ate some POISON FOOD!  And then he had to go to the bathroom A LOT!  I did not even know there was such a thing.  As poison food that is.  I know what a bathroom is.  To a dog, the whole world's a bathroom!  BOL!!

And the nominees are...

OK, it's time to choose.  Since the tall guy has started working on the cookbook for dogs, it's time to decide who you want to give the money to.  (Just to remind you, we're going to give ALL the money we raise to help needy animals!)

So, if you know of an organization or someone who helps animals who could use some money, please leave a comment below.  We will compile all the nominations and then decide who gets the donations!

And if you were wondering, the title of the cookbook is going to be

(Oh I'm sorry, I've used up all of my Internets for today.  I guess you will just have to come back to find out the name of the book!)

6/9:  An update note from the Tall Guy:  Once we've get all the nominees, everyone who reads the blog is going to help select the organization.  I didn't want anyone to think that I was the one doing the choosing.  Thanks!

Well, he's finally back!

I pretended like I was not excited to see him, 

but I really was!

He took a lot of pictures,

but they really seem to be strange.

He said he saw a lot of birds:

 

and some fishes:

 

and he even found out where our snow had gone:

 

He did not bring me no t-shirt,

but I guess that is ok,

because he brought me him.

And I can't kiss no t-shirt!

June 4, 2011

I think I'll try that!

The butt thing,
not the Starburst.
Oh, and the tall guy said that if you have a dog or cat treat recipeto please send it to him at jacksdad2011@gmail.comHe's ready to start working on the cookbook!
If you've already sent in a recipe and have more,he'll be glad to include those too!Thank you!

But I don't WANT you 

to go to Canadia!!

It seems that the tall guy has decided that he is hot, so he is going to somewhere called Canadia to get cold.  

It is another one of these "They don't allow dogs in (insert place here)" trips.   He's going somewhere called "Vancoovers".  I shall have to consult the Googles to find out if dogs are allowed to go there.  

And he had better bring me back a t-shirt!
