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!

Back at it, because I knew the longer I waited the Back at it, because I knew the longer I waited the harder it would be to get back at it. Sticking to wide trails with good visibility during wild boar piglet season. #trailrunning
A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while I was out on a run, marveling at how wild animals do not seem to mind when they see me. Once, I almost bumped into a deer, the way a couple might meet-cute in a rom com. We just didn’t see each other. I’ve always thought it was a fun little quirk. Not even bunnies are afraid of me. But this afternoon on my run, I came up over a hill and was suddenly within fifteen feet of a wild boar. Thankfully, a year or two ago I got curious about the big traps that show up trailside around the bay, looked them up and learned about how fast, ruthlessly aggressive, and unpredictable a wild boar can be. Otherwise, I might have (stupidly) thought I was in the middle of another one of my Snow White moments and been all “Hello there, Mr. Pig! Look at you!” believing that I could quietly observe in wonder. Instead, I knew this was a bad situation. The boar grunted and moved to the center of the trail. It felt very ‘You shall not pass!’ But I did not want to pass. I wanted to get away. I backed slowly for a few moments and then turned and ran faster than I ever have in my whole life. I’ve since learned that there’s no way that boar chased me, because there’s no chance of outrunning a boar (climb a tree if you can). But I know that boar saw me and also wasn’t happy about the surprise, and I had a moment, racing back over the hills I’d just run — not daring to look behind me more than once or twice in fear I’d lose my footing — when I truly did not know what would happen. I’ve been in scary situations, but they were a different kind of scary. I don’t think I’ve ever flat out run for my life before, but that’s truly what I thought I was doing. Right now I am still full of adrenaline and also exhausted and so so thankful to be okay.
