A Valentine’s Day Giveaway!

February 3, 2011 Filed Under: books are awesome, giveaways

Who couldn’t use a little extra love for Valentine’s Day?

The lovely Kate Ledger, author of Remedies, sent me four copies of The Dogs’ Book of Romance — advice on love and relationships from our four-legged friends — for a Valentine’s Day giveaway!

To sweeten the pot, I’ve put together a Valentine’s gift bag (pictured above) for you and your favorite pup.  Three lucky readers will get a copy of The Dogs’ Book of Romance and one lucky reader will get a copy of the book plus a gift bag filled with goodies!

The gift bag includes:

For you:

  • A copy of The Dogs Book of Romance
  • The Madelaine Chocolate Co. Signature Collection Chocolate Hearts
  •  Rishi Tea Fair Trade Organic West Cape Chai
  • Sweet Riot Dark Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs
For your pup:
  • A MegaLast MegaBall (made in the USA & fully recyclable)
  • Newman’s Own Organics Heart-Shaped Peanut Butter Dog Treats (Argo’s favorite)
To enter, all you have to do is “like” the Allie Larkin Writes page on Facebook.  On Valentine’s Day (February 14th) I’ll pick 3 book winners and one gift bag winner at random.  
Good luck!

    I’ve already “liked” your FB page but hope I can still be considered for the give-away … I’m sharing your post on my FB page — lots of dog-lovers there!

    I think I’m the only one in the world without a FB account. I will try it, but I don’t know if I can like without one. I do follow your blog, however, so if it’s possible to still enter me, I would love to be entered.

    What a great idea!

    I’m with Tara. Left FB for good a year ago. I’ll tweet about your giveaway, though. If you make an exception for blog-comment entries, that would be woof-worthy, too!

We are in the habit of starting and ending our day We are in the habit of starting and ending our days side by side in our lawn chairs, while the light rises or dims. It’s still chilly at the outer edges of the day. Sometimes Roxy shivers. I bought her a sweater, but she won’t wear it. Sometimes I try to wrap her in my jacket, but she’s not having that either, so I throw her ball and try to get her run and then she comes back to her chair, warm for a little longer. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogssittinginchairs

I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic ant I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic antique store sometime in November and didn’t buy it. But then, of course, I kept thinking about her. She’s the perfect size for my office, and I found those drawer pulls hilarious. When I finally went back in December, I told myself I was shopping for wall art, because I assumed she would be gone. But she was right where I’d seen her last: balanced on another dresser with boxes of old picture frames and tchotchkes piled on top (the true mark of a magic antique store). I didn’t even realize she had a towel rack — that she was a wash stand, not a dresser — until I asked about the price, said I’d take her, and my favorite magic antique store person asked if we needed to unscrew the towel rack to fit her in my car. I suspect this little sweetie is not from the days of necessary wash stands so much as from a country kitchen in the 80s. She was in rough shape, and not made from wood worth stripping and re-staining, but her price reflected that. I had to disassemble that door and put it back together, but I’d been in the market for some experience working with old furniture, and she made me feel brave about trying. I thought about painting her something more neutral, but I’m so glad I didn’t. She deserves to be pink. She’s not perfectly painted and needs a few touch ups. I learned some things about chalk paint and finishes. The drawers stick a bit. Eventually, I’d like to line them with fabric and when I do, I might plane the edges to smooth things out. But goodness, I love her in a way that I wouldn’t if I hadn’t spent time cleaning away her cobwebs and scrubbing the grime from her hilarious drawer pulls. She’s also become a little shrine for the book I’m working on, which makes me love her even more. I’ve always been a person who sees some soul in certain things, and I’m learning to cherish that idiosyncrasy, because there’s so much joy to be found in a brave little toaster or an underdog wash stand. We’re not here in the world for all that long. We may as well love some bright little things. #furnituremakeover

She nudges me over and we sit in our chairs, side by side, and watch the sun set. Well, I watch the sun set. She spies on the neighbors. #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #sundayevening
