Furry Friends Linky & Giveaway!!!

I've decided to host my very first linky party/giveaway! I hope it works! And I hope you'll join me!!! Please join me!!!


If you've read my blog, you know I adore my three dogs!   

This is Sadie:


Sadie


She was my first puppy that was my very own. I've always wanted a corgi! Why you ask!.... They're always smiling (like me) and their short legs (like me)! I brought Sadie home when she was seven weeks old. And was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. Her favorite things to do are go to the beach and play with her ball, sleep, and protect our house to make sure no one comes within 100 yards of it. She's taught me it's okay to slow down and relax every once in while! 


Duncan

Duncan came along as a buddy for Sadie. He's the nicest dog I've ever met and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's a snuggle bug and will snuggle with you, even if it's 100 degrees out! He came home with us when he was six months old. And he hasn't stopped playing frisbee since. He's taught me the importance of having a little fun everyday- no matter what- rain or shine! :)


Abby

And Abby was an unexpected addition to our family. We were walking the other two up the street one day, and a lady randomly came out of her house and saw our other two corgis. After talking with her, she explained that she had inherited her mother's corgi and wasn't able to take care of her like she deserved. Enter crazy me to take Abby home with us right then and there. That's right- we walked up the hill with two dogs and down the hill with three. She's 12, but acts like she's about four. Anytime anyone on T.V. says 'Abby' (as in Abby Lee Miller on Dance Moms...) her little ears perk up and she looks towards the T.V. Every time. :) Abby's taught me that you can have anything you want in life, if you work really hard for it. (i.e. the left over cheese quesadilla on the coffee table...) 


All three of them have taught me unconditional love and loyalty. Bad hair day, bad mood, unshaven legs, you name it, they love me always. :)

So here's how you can enter the giveaway. It's easy!!!

Since this is a teaching blog, we've gotta tie this to teaching. So.... link up and tell us what your furry friend (dog, cat, hamster, fish, squirrel- whatever!) has taught you! (Kinda related to teaching...right...!?!) If you don't have a pet, link up and tell us what you'd like to have...  :-) 


I will do the drawing next Saturday and announce three winners! That's right! Three chances to win! :)  


You might win a

I am excited to get some new bloggy friends during this linky/giveaway! And I thought, in honor of our Furry Friends linky, I would donate money to one of my very favorite charities for every new follower I get, up to $50.00 (I got the idea from Heather at Heather's Heart!- great idea Heather!!! :)...


Corgi pals started in 2011 and to date has helped 20 corgis in need. This includes raising money and support for corgis who are battling cancer, need help with vet bills, and just need help in general. You can check out their website by clicking on the picture above. I know my corigs are extremely spoiled loved, and not all dogs can be as lucky. So this is my way of giving back.    


I am so excited to host this linky and giveaway! And I'm looking forward to making some new bloggy friends and hearing all about your furry friends! Thanks so much for joining me!!! :-)
