Rory and I did an interview for Local Tourist Ottawa — a fun upbeat blog that shares all sorts of Ottawa insights about the things that make this city a wonderful place to live! Lots of thanks this morning to Amy and Jessey, the lovely founding ladies of LTO. Be sure to drop by their site today and take a peek at “Posh pets: A look behind the cover of PAWSH Magazine.” xo
Petite Matryoshka Dog Calendar
Look at this calendar! Just look at it! Isn’t it the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen for ticking off the days one by one? What makes this design from African Grey so cute? First of all it was inspired by Russian nesting dolls (those classic wooden dolls that pull apart to reveal a smaller version of themselves — love!) Secondly, the expression on each character’s face makes them look as though they are alive. Thirdly, this 2012 calendar is made from Eco-friendly linen stock! This is a must have for a new year at a new desk, wouldn’t you agree?
The Savvy Stocking Stuffer
The stocking is an intricate part of the holiday season and something that Pawsh pets believe should be stuffed with special care. This year these items have our attention!
First up, the Harry Barker Oslo Collar. Nothing says ‘pawsh’ like a pretty polka dot and these collars bring festive cheer to the day and can be worn all year round. A chic ‘Rescue’ dog pillow from Ecarlate Boutique makes snuggle time extra comfy, as does the darling My Pug Mug — perfect for a soothing cup of tea or cocoa. A sassy leash is always a great idea for sprucing up a new year of walks, walks, walks and an extra special 3D identification tag from Flash Gordon Designs adds a flash of style to your pup’s collar.
And last but not least, who could resist giving their precious pooch some tasty treats this season? Lincoln Bark’s Sweet Little Buttercup treats are great — nutritious and delicious because they are made with 100% human-grade ingredients and no grains or gluten! What does this mean? The dog’s are going to be spoiled in all the right ways!
SURPRISE: Oh yeah! We’re giving away a copy of “Dog Photography for Dummies” (read review here!) today and today only! It’s a great place to start learning about how to capture beautiful photographs of your pet on camera and is packed with professional tips and secrets!
To enter all you need to do is like us on Facebook! We’ll announce the lucky winner tomorrow morning! But hurry, this giveaway is only open today! Aren’t surprises fun? Happy Monday everyone! xo
Holiday Raffle for Hopeful Hearts Dog Rescue
Here at Pawsh we believe in giving back to the pet community as much as possible, especially around the holiday season. So we’ve created a special raffle with ALL PROCEEDS being donated directly to Hopeful Hearts Dog Rescue. This wonderful Ottawa-based non-profit organization does incredible work, rescuing dogs of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds year long. You might remember some of their precious dogs from the “Rescue Me” section in each issue of Pawsh and we are proud to call them friends. Funds raised for Hopeful Hearts will be used to help the many deserving dogs in their care as they continue their journey toward loving forever homes.
The raffle prize is a six-page editorial photo-spread in an upcoming issue of Pawsh — that’s right, your pet could be a star! To enter just visit Coco Mutts (1110 Carp Road Unit 25) or Global Pet Foods Hintonburg (1200 Wellington Street West) and fill out the entry form. A $2 donation will enter you and your pet into this exciting draw and entries will be available until December 29th, 2011.
We wish you all the best of luck and would like to thank you for working with us to support Hopeful Hearts and the amazing work they do. Together we can help these dogs start the new year off right.
