Fall Fur-Babies Contest WINNER!!!

LaDeDog! is pleased to announce the winner of the Fall Fur-babies Photo Contest... Hitch, a collie/scottish terrier mix who wins a collar/lead set from our Lupine collection.

Hitch "works" his job with the Astoria Fire Department & rides along on calls, attends meetings, announces package deliveries to office staff and guards the fire chief in his office. He shares his duties with the department's fire "cat" and as long as they can ignore each other they get along fairly well.

Congratulations Hitch!! We love your story & your photo!

Halloween ~ A Night in Photos

What a great turnout to our Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest! We enjoyed seeing doggies dressed in ghoulish garb & lots of children making their way through town.

Your Great American Dog

Doesn't this show want to make you get out there & show off your dog's skills? That musical chairs game made me want to get Roxy's tricky trainers out & remind her of her agility. She is so smart, and willing to learn but that looked like quite a distracting course.

It also brought back fond memories of our little Doggie Olympics and all the great obsticle courses put together for our fuzzy little athletes. We have gotten some great pictures from the event and from active dogs enjoying the great outdoors.

It's not too late to submit your photo for the LaDeDog! Photo Contest - Yes, your dog is a Great American Dog & you could win a $25.00 Gift Certificate just by submitting for your winning photo! You have until July 25th to enter, so get snappin & we will look forward to judging Your Great American Dog!
