Freaky Dog People Ultimate Giveaway!

by

Hooray! It’s another Giveaway Tuesday!!

I love a good t-shirt as much as the next person. They’re comfortable, they’re easy, and they work with a lifestyle of running around after dogs and kids. Whether they are fashionable, well, that kind of depends on the shirt.

Many of the T-shirts in my closet are purloined from my husband, who gets them in his work in the technology sector on a regular basis. Sun Microsystems shirt- not so haute. Gowalla- maybe a little trendier, but still. I wear these to the gym a lot.

For going out and about, I like my T-shirts to make a statement. For example, take my Bon Jovi shirt from the concert I went to last year. Depending on where I wear it the statement reads “SWEET! I LOVE JON!!” or, “That reminds me of that sad  Bowling for Soup 1985 song.”

So what would be a perfect Dr. V t-shirt? What statement would it make?

  • I love dogs
  • I love cute shirts that aren’t “precious”
  • I love comfortable, super soft shirts that both man and beast like to snuggle up to

Fortunately for me, Freaky Dog People has a line of shirts that fits the bill. I summed up my experience with them in my December Howliday Gift Guide: In addition to being a small business dedicated to animal rescue, the shirts are just well-made and hold up to the constant abuse your average dog owner will put them through. And oh, are they soft.

FDP is going through some exciting changes and updates, and to celebrate the occasion I have the privilege of hosting a mega quad giveaway- not one, but FOUR Freaky Dog People shirts!

Details:

The Posting Prize: 1 T-shirt

Check out the offerings from Freaky Dog People and figure out which shirt is your favorite (I won’t hold you to it if you win and change your mind.) Leave a post in the comment section below with your pick from either the classic line (unisex) or the Love Love Love line (fitted). One post will be chosen at random.

The Media Prize: 1 T-shirt

  • Re-tweet this contest- make sure you put @pawcurious in the tweet so I can find it. You can do this once a day for 7 chances.
  • Hop on over to the Freaky Dog People Facebook page and say hi, or say why you’re a Freaky Dog Person, or post a picture or whatever you want. Just make sure they know you’re there from pawcurious and that will get you one entry as well.

I’ll total up all the entries and one will be selected at random for the second T-shirt.

The Grand Prize: TWO Freaky Dog People Shirts!

Win this and your weekends will forever be taken care of.

To enter this giveaway, we’re having a little scavenger hunt (a concept the wonderful Annette at Biscuits by Lambchop utilized during the blogathon with great success).

Here’s what you need to participate in the scavenger hunt:

  • The name of the FDP owners’ dearly departed cat (answer on the website)
  • The name of one of the pages FDP likes on their Facebook wall.
  • What is the name of the orange shirt from the FDP Love Love Love collection?
  • One adorable pet picture- either one of your own, or a link to a picture online.
  • e-mail these 4 items to me, drv (at) pawcurious.com with “FDP Giveaway” as the title. Correct answers = one entry. The winner gets to pick TWO shirts from this collection.

Contest ends at 11:59 PM PST Monday, March 7 2011.

Now go forth and let your freak flag fly!

  1. These shirts are so nice! I’m not usually an animal-shirt-wearer, but I love these! My favorite is the Dog Heart (though if the girl on the bicycle had shorter hair and the dog had pointier ears, I’d pick that one in a heartbeat).

    Not sure I’ve commented before, but I’m an avid reader of your blog, and I love it! Thanks for sharing all your stories, and (of course) this awesome giveaway!

  2. That Heart Paw t-shirt is so cute! Omigoodness! I always love the sites you post, they make me happy indeed. 🙂

  6. I love the Dog Heart from the Love, Love, Love collection. But I also really, really like the Love Ride! What a tough decision that would be! I do remember looking at these when you posted over the holidays. Too cute!

  7. As a trainer, I love the sentiment behind ‘Dog’s Best Friend’. But the design of ‘Home is Dog’ is just adorable. I love them both!

  9. It’s all about the love!! We need more of it in this world and it starts with dogs. Dog Heart design t-shirt is my pick!

  10. Love love love the “Dog Heart” shirt. So cute. Reminds me of my favorite foster dog. 🙂

  11. Gotta love the Dog Heart from the Love Love line. I only have one Doggy T-shirt in my collection so far – Puppy Mills Bite (http://fleasplease.com/) – need more! And, it’s my birthday this month (30!!!) so yes, think I deserve it! 🙂

  12. I can’t help but love the Dog Heart shirt. It looks like a silouhette of Scooby, and he certainly has my heart.

  14. now I know why it’s called the Love love love line! I love love love the dog heart paw!

  15. Love “Home IS Where The Dog Is” & “Heart Paw” I actually had thought about the heart paw design in 2009 When we lost Willow to cancer & thought of it as a tattoo. Ended up getting her profile instead.

  26. I love the Dog’s best friend shirt! If I don’t win it, I am going to buy it! If I win it then I can buy a different one, maybe the Home is where the Dog is shirt. Thanks for always making me smile when I see your posts.

  33. well, making a choice of one is almost impossible..but in the end “home is where the dog is” will be the pick. although really, they are all so great.

  37. Dog Heart although I would have picked Love Ride if the tshirt color were different. Thanks for the giveaway!

  39. Fun shirts! Im having a tough time choosing one fave! Dog heart, freaky chain, and Home is dog…. If my Great Dane could ride on a bicycle then I wouldve chosen the Love ride. hahaha

  41. I think this is the best thing I have discovered from you yet Dr. V. These folks are amazing. Just left them a FB comment and told ’em you sent me. Love the T’s. I am going to enter the contest but I feel a Tshirt order coming on too. I could give these as gifts so easily too. 🙂

  45. OOh, it’s a tough choice, but i think i like “Home is where the dog is” from the Love Love Love line

  46. I share you views re: dog shirts – nothing too “precious,” and since I’m a big dog owner, I don’t always find shirts that seem to represent my dogs.

    I’d totally rock out the “Dog Heart” shirt, though – I love it!

  49. The Dog Heart one is the cutest! I think I may buy this, if I don’t win! Though the heart paw is a close 2nd!

    Thanks for the shout! : ) Love the scavenger hunts.

  52. I love love love love Freaky Dog People. I already have one of their shirts from the classic line so to win one of the “Home is Where the Dog Is” shirts would be awesome. But even if I don’t win, I will probably just buy it anyway. 😛 Thanks for the wicked giveaway!

  55. Okay…. So i like the Dog Heart from the love love love collection. It truly captures what our 4 legged friends do to our hearts!
