The Winners Are. . .

The time has come for the first ever Lessons From 4 Legs giveaway to come to a close. The giveaway marks the six month mark of our year long Walking Challeng. I’m happy to announce a new Walking Challenge total of 1,657 miles!

That is truly an amazing collective achievement and we’ve also had many individual accomplishments over the last six months.

To celebrate all of our success I’m happy to announce the winners of the Halfway Giveaway.

Congratulations to Elizabeth, Cocoa and Oreo, the winners of the first drawing.

Together they’ve walked 88 miles since joining the Challenge in March. For all their effort they will soon receive custom made fleece leashes with matching fleece balls. Cocoa and Oreo are two fun loving poodles who live with their mom, who’s a master at saving money. Check out Oreo’s Oval Office, Cocoa’s Corner and pick a coupon clipping tip from their mom.

Our second winner is one of our best 4legged friends.

Dare and her family of five other of our favorite 4legged friends keep their mom on her toes walking and training them. They not only reported that they are current on their goal of 365 miles in 365 days, they’ve surpassed that goal by over 100 miles! They currently have over 500 miles to their credit. That’s truly amazing and we’re thrilled they have enjoyed the Challenge so much. They’ve done so well that Marie set a new goal for the year and hopes to reach 1000 miles. They’ll soon be enjoying their very own snuggle and fun pack of a fluffy mat and their own fleece tug toys.

Chispita and Beth are the winners of third drawing. They recieves this honor for doing her own post about the Walking Challenge.

Chispita and Beth set a unique goal to walk seven hours a week. They’ve so far enjoyed over 68 hours of walking fun together. For their hard work they’ll recieve a special clicker trainers package that includes a treat bag, treats and a clicker. If you haven’t read Chispita’s Walking Challenge post I highly recommend hopping over and checking it out. While you’re there why not join Fun Friday with Beth and Chispita?

The giveaway has been really fun! For you lucky winners please email me an address to send your prizes too.

We’re halfway through the year folks, lets keep up the hard work and finish out the year with a bang!

    Congratulations everyone!! How have you all been making out with the warmer weather and walks? We have been doing a few less longer walks during the week but making up for it but hitting up the lake on weekends. Also I use a cooling jacket with my two. Any other hot weather tips out there for me?

      We all started in the winter and fought the cold and now we’re all fighting the heat just as much. What kind of cooling coat do you use? Thanks for commenting!

    Congrats to all the winners and a special thanks to Maizy and Magnus for getting some of our two legged companions (I am meaning My Vickie) off her patutie and outside more.  IT has done us wonders and even though, Like Miss Kodee, we have been a bit off our game for the last 9 days, we are back and walking full fledge again.  (Well at least until it get too hot again)

    Miss Kodee, the only answer I have for you on how to deal with the hot is something I am pretty sure you are not going to like.   But my answer is SWIMMING   Yahoo, make sure you walk near the lakes and strams or a gutter would work……roll in it, sit in it, lay in it, what eve you do it will cool you off.

    I promise…

    Love
    Bert

      Thanks for the congrats and the thanks Bert! We’re thrilled to have you and Vickie in the challenge! Glad to know you’re getting back into the swing of things, I hope we can too. Good idea about walking around water, but I have to tell you I think you’re hair might handle all that swimming better than our fluffy Cav’s. Still, it’s a great suggestion!

    oh, and I forgot to check in on our miles.  My Vickie’s excuse is that we were very busy with speaking engagements, but the truth is, it was just TOO FLIPPIN HOT…..

    So we can only report a big  two miles.  WAhoo….I am emberassed, but happy to say we are already up to five for this week.

    Oh and forgive the spelling in the earlier post……I was just in a hurry….and my paws missed a few letters.

    Congrats to all the winners!!  We walk near water or early in the morning, but Mom was lazy the past few days and we just stayed home with the air on and had pupsicles.  BORING!!  Oh and we got baths.  Sheesh!!

      I think we’re all suffering in the heat, but I’m glad you guys have some pupscicles to keep you cool! Thanks for commenting!
