Fab Freebie: Collar Me Bad

***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.

fredfredcollarsforcontest

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! My sweet Lucy would look great in one of the polka dot collars. She actually broke her UNC (Go Heels!) collar last week and hubs hates the current pink and white one I grabbed at Old Navy for her. She’s a crazy girl, but we love her. On the final day of our vacation last week, the little man said, “I miss Lulu mommie.” It was so sweet.

    Our dogs Kota (boxer) and Porsche (mutt) are super spoiled! They get “massages” every morning from their mom. They also enjoy every vacation my husband and I enjoy–how could you leave a part of your family at home????

    Come on baby, Collar Me!

    For my furry critters, the pampering is fairly constant! Big fluffy dog beds, specialty treats & foods (due to allergies), oatmeal baths for itchies, lots of skritchez & snugglez, sleeping in the big peoples bed. I swear at times they have it better than I do! =)

    Hmmm, let’s see…special things we do for our dog include feeding her organic dog food and giving her filtered or distilled water only.
    Our Corgi is also going to be part of a pet therapy program for a children’s hospital, so a new collar is in order!
    I can hear Milly saying right now, COLLAR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Collar Me! I have two pooches, a border collie mix and a yellow lab mix. They love going for runs with me- and since it’s good for them I try to take them as often as I can. They adore running so much, all I have to do is grab my ipod and they line up to get their leashes! And heaven forbid I leave one at home and take the other…I’ve heard them howling, from all the way on the other side of the neighborhood!

    Collar Me! Our two-year-old shepherd mix would love a new collar. Going for a long run is a special treat to him, but those are on hold until after our baby comes. So, for now, he gets doggy day care.

    Oscar gets to sleep under his own blanket on the foot of our bed (more than once I’m awakened to find that he has snuck under the covers and wedged himself as close to me as possible). Marley and Smokey outside get regular treats and bit of people food every now and then. Love my pups!

    Our border collie mix gets a belly rub every morning before we all go downstairs for breakfast. It’s part of our morning routine. And she’s getting a little puppy pool for the backyard this weekend to celebrate her “gotcha day” (the day we brought her home from the shelter). She LOVES water!
