***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
We know that many of you, like us, have a trusty canine companion by your side during your various DIY projects. So this week’s giveaway is all about making sure your hound is as stylish as your home. And who do we have to thanks for that? Jon Wye and his specialty line of Dog Collars by FredFred.
Jon is a Washington, DC based designer who’s got a pretty sweet line of belts and t-shirts for us humans, but it was his collection of dog collars (named after Jon’s dog Fred) that caught our eye. The designs are dynamic (from the fun Dogs in Space scene to the intricate India print) and they’re all 100% leather with specially made stainless steel accents. Jon, er, Fred was even kind enough to send Burger a specially sized (1/2″ wide, instead of 1″ standard) Black and Tan Polka Dot collar and he LOVES it. Brings out his eyes, eh?
Want one? Then just comment on this post with the words “COLLAR ME” by Wednesday, April 22nd at 8pm EST. Three randomly selected winners will get their pick of any style and size from the full Fred Fred line (including the soon-to-be-added 1/2″ varieties for smaller breeds). And while you’re commenting with the words “collar me”, we’d also love to know if there’s something you currently do or buy to go that extra mile for your pup… a special treat? a doggie massage? a stylish collar perhaps? These three prizes can be shipped anywhere in the USA and, as always, only one entry per e-mail address is allowed. Winners will be announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Collar me! :) We’re getting soooo excited, we leave three weeks from today to fly home and pick up our beloved pooch Kiki! When the Army moved us to Hawaii in January it was too cold to ship her so she’s been staying on Nana and Papa’s farm these past few months ~ but we can’t wait to get her back! She’d be rockin’ island style in one of these collars ;) Keep up the good work guys! :)

Emily says
COLLAR ME! – Well, collar Lucie or Ella. They would love a new collar for the walks in the spring weather!
Jessica says
Collar me! My little nine pound Shih Tzu mix would look super cute in one of these!
Kathryn says
Collar me! Daisy, my boxer just got back from a weekend at the beach. She goes on all our trips!
Erin says
COLLAR ME! Our black doxie, Johnny Cash, would look bad ass in the flamed collar!! He, and big brother (lab) Dakota, get ice cubes for treats— they love em more than dog treats!
Gail says
Ooh — COLLAR ME! I’ve got a Daisy who’d love a collar too!!!
Michelle says
COLLAR ME PLEASE! My English Bulldog would look killer in one of those collars. As for special treatment Bosco has sensitive skin so he enjoys baths with organic shampoo.
James says
COLLAR ME!
Christy says
Collar Me! from Baxter in Maryland :)
Susie says
Collar me!
My husband and I just got our first puppy, Coco. She is a chocolate Labrador Retriever. We love her and are spoiling her rotten….she is so cute and is getting tons of attention and new toys from us and all our friends and family.
Love your blog….I found it when I got my copy of “The Nest”.
Kristin Morrison says
COLLAR ME!
Well, collar Gus (short of Augustus McCrae) & Ellie. My Rhodesian Ridgeback/Redbone Coonhound mix and my 9-lb mini-doxie would look great in those. They are quite spoiled. I like to spoil them with Frosty Paws.
Jena says
COLLAR ME! My male pomeranian, Riley needs one of these collars to make him look more masculine!
Amy says
“Collar Me!” Lucy gets a good “haircut” every spring. She’s a golden retriever, so losing some of that huge winter coat makes her a lot more frisky.
Dana says
Collar me! My rottie, Rowdy, could totally rock the collar with the flames.
Heather says
COLLAR ME!!!!!
Buddy and Mr. Flops love what I call “doggyssage” – basically, doggie massage! They’re both quite muscular guys, so they love gettin’ the ol’ muscle rubdown.
Plus, we’re suckers for continuing to buy them plush toys with squeakers, even though all they want to do is “kill” the squeaker and eat the fuzz.
Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is a favorite around these parts, too.
p.s. Mr. Flops just gave the secret chihuahua hand sign to Burger. :)
Jill says
Collar me!
Our dog, Big Margo, is not our world, our child, firstborn, or baby. She is the dog. Because of this, we figure rescuing her from a life of producing puppies in a “puppy mill” is a big enough treat for her. Plus, at 150+ pounds just letting her take up space in our little house is a big deal. :-)
Okay, I admi I do occaisionally buy her a soup bone.
Maria says
Collar Me Please Please Please!!!!!!!! Love Your Blog!
Shannon Mignone says
Collar Me!!
My beloved Yorkies Mario & Mia both have medical issues. Mario had a liver shunt when he was a puppy (has since been corrected) and Mia has seasonal ear allergies! But both are faithful travel companions (we take them to NYC as much as possible and even took Mario to Boston). Do you take Burger on any of your road trips? Burger is just such a doll :)
Luz says
COLLAR ME!
Leah at House Obsession says
Collar Me! I know one of my two would love a new collar!! :-)
Julia says
COLLAR ME! We tuck our puppy back into bed after we leave for the day so that she can spend her day in bed like a princess!
Roeshel says
Collar Me! Actually…Collar our doxie. She’d love to win!
sugarlens says
Collar Me!
My pups are due for an upgrade!
mel says
COLLAR ME! :D
My pup Ike or Atlas would love to be stylish. :)
Ike is now considered “Senior” so we started giving him little massages at the end of the day.
Erin says
Collar Me! Our dog, Penny, gets special (and very expensive) food to help with her incontinence, something her previous owners understated when we adopted her. We still love her though and spoil her in every way we can!
Allison B says
COLLAR ME!
Or collar my precious pup Penelope. That’d be great!
Love your blog :)
Lindsay says
COLLAR ME! We take our dogs to the the dog beach on the weekends.
Mary says
Collar me! I make our pup homemade dog treats!
Stacy says
COLLAR ME!
My dogs get anything they want or need :).
Leslie says
Collar Me! Oscar would love a new collar:)
Melissa Anderson says
Collar Me – can you hear our little Tanner? Our Yorkie-Maltese mix turned 5 last Friday and he is spoiled with love. Tanner is spoiled with collars actually and has 2 Coach collars that are switched out based on seasons. He would love this edgy looking collar to give him a tougher look.
stacie says
Collar me! Nice things for our pups…the big jar of freeze-dried beef treats by the back door is always on hand, comfy new beds from West Paw (made from recycled plastic bottles), once a month visits to the local pet store for new toys, and taking them on vacation with us to dog friendly and fun places to explore. We just love our dogs.
Teeni says
Collar me! Pablo needs some bling!
Robin says
Collar me! I give Snoopy massages, brush him at least a few times a week and play fetch with him. Although today in the Bay Area, we’re in the ’90’s – so he’s not doing too much running around!
Laura K says
Collar me, please! Brenna gets trips to the local parks almost daily! What a life, eh?
LisaM says
Collar Me, please!! I have a 100 lb. German Shepherd who stays indoors all day long (I have no backyard right now). He doesn’t like going for walks down my neighborhood street, so I *literally* go the extra mile, and take him to Clinton Lake State Park so he can run off leash with me on the trails!! To know he’s happy and he’s staying healthy with exercise is worth all the extra muddy clean-up I have to do :-)
Julie says
COLLAR ME Our 140 pound Newfoundland gets a spa-like bath about once a month. He just loves anything that resembles being petted for an extended period of time. I wonder if the collars are big enough for our big guy!
SarahG816 says
Collars me!!! My little yorkie Dash is always excited to get a new collar!
Aahcoffee says
COLLAR ME! My schnauzer, Henry (also known as Henri–said in a very snooty French voice, and Henry Higgines—depending on my mood) get to sleep right on my legs, and I often wake up with a stiff back because I would rather arrange myself around him then disturb him.
Millsmom says
COLLAR ME! My Miller loves new jewelry, and she would look fab in on of those collars! What do I not do for Millie Lillie? She is the princess angel that rules my world!
Kim says
COLLAR ME! We freeze rib bones and then pull them out for special occasions. Our pugs go crazy over them.
Kaity says
COLLAR ME!…Moose our friendly golden loves showing off his collars on his many walks…and he would look bad ass in flames ;)
Lauren says
Collar me!

Hey Lauren,
Seriously. That link made our night. Hysterical.
xo,
s (& j)… and b of course!
Tessa says
“Collar Me!” – Our Boston Terrier, Koby, gets special treats from Three Dog Bakery. He especially loves the Lick ‘N Crunch in the Peanut Butter flavor. They actually smell good enough for us humans to eat!
Sarah says
COLLAR ME!! My little pugster would love a new collar.
katy b says
Collar Me

Kelly says
“COLLAR ME!”
mallory says
“COLLAR ME”
Our Chihuahua is cold about 97% of the time (we live in the great NW) and refuses to wear sweaters so she is treated to a heating pad on the couch almost every day. Our dogs also get homemade doggie cakes on their birthdays, the occasional homemade biscuit, and sleep in our bed (we often share a pillow). If that isn’t pampering I don’t know what is?
Jenn says
Collar me! Whenever we have to board Sadie, she gets the ice cream and playtime upgrade. It just seems wrong for her to be stuck all alone in that noisy place without some loving!
Amy Spears says
Collar me!!! Please please for my little Stevie who is also a very spoiled chihuahua! He was named after the actor Steve Buscemi (I always thought he looked like a chihuahua) :) He gets spoiled every night with a cooked dinner-turkey or chicken with veggies and rice. I also cannot pass up cute stuffed animals for him to play with, even though he just rips them up! AND…it was just his tenth birthday on April 17th!
