DWB IS BACK !!!!!
and yes, it deserves capitals for THAT announcement !
I have let mum take over my blog just for today, as we need to make a very impawtant announcement about DogsWithBlogs.
WE ARE BACK !!!!
After losing some enthausiam for the site after Charlie passed away, and being alittle overwhelmed at the job ahead of us - we have managed to secure some wonderful support and help - so we are ready to relaunch and go full steam ahead !
We have also had an "issue" with Mars Confectionary, who requested us to change some elements of our site as they thought it resembled too closely their Schmacko's brand. Long story short, we now have the opportunity to create a new DWB front page banner, and Bone Zone banner.
So............
Here's the deal......
We are hoping all our members may be able to help us do this. What we want is any of the following -
* Send us a pic of your dog with what you think represents DWB (could be your dog sitting at a computer, or playing with other dogs, or reading a blog etc etc - use your imagination)
* Design a new DWB banner for us - incorporate your dog, or whatever you thing symbolises DWB.
There are two categories that we need to fill - we need to create a new DWB Banner for the front page, and also a new banner for The Bone Zone. Banner shapes should be organic, not rectangular.
Please note - all entries should be original and not based on any existing 3rd party marketing which may cause us to receive infringement of intellectual property action, again :)
Please send your submissions to -
opyatgruffpuppydotcomdotau (without "the bits")
Submissions open immediately and run through to April 15th - and then Greg and I will make our decision as to who has come up with the best banners.
Comeon everyone - please help us get DWB back on track !
Remember - doesn't matter if you aren't a 'graphic genius', send us a photo with an idea - just contribute !
Also, we have "unlocked" the DWB Bone Zone award nominations - so, off we go again - please nominate over at the Bone Zone for Awesome Blog Award, Post of the Month, and Photo of the Month. Let's get this moving !
Thanks everypup.
Brooke

WHOOO! We know how tough it is to get back on track after losing a wee little one...
Dublin left us 3 years ago yesterday...& the pain still sneaks out after all this time..
But Randi's new brother - oh, sorry..she calls it her Monkey Stick, is keeping us all on our toes..
We'll try to see if we can figure out a banner...in rough sketch..
=) Randi's mom...
Woohooo! Now THIS is good news! And a fun challenge, as well!
Welcome back!
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Great news -- sometimes good (DWB renewed energy) comes from evil (Mars). We're ready to give Schmacko a great big schmacko!!
We do think Charlie needs to be somewhere in the new banner.
Wirey love to all of you!!!
Jake and Just Harry
YAY! Great news, we're so excited!
four paws up.
getting our crayons out and makin a submission...how does a banner with me on it that says "It's All About Me!" sound? No? okay, we keep thinking.
Love, Dozer, Dottie and Cooper
Coolarama! I'll get mama searching through my photos asap...
Love,
Bogart
Great news!!!! Welcome back, Opy and family! Without you, we wouldn't have met any friends. We're excited to see DWB is back on track. Yay!
Momo & Pinot xoxo
Great news!!! Everything happens for a reason, and maybe those Schmacko/ wacko people are giving us the new energy to go forward.Won't they be surprised if we take away their business with a boycott, and then write them a thank-you letter! BOL! Our mom isn't too good at this sort of thing, but we would love to see Charlie represented in the new banners, as he is the reason for our being. Opy too, and the little prince, since one day we suppose he will inherit it all, as he should!
your pals, Morgan & maisie

Hey Opy,
Yeah, be sure y'all check out whatever Maggie and Mitch send cuz it'll definitely be based on some yummy delicious food that comes from Ben and Jerry's or DiGiorno Pizza or Omaha Steaks and probably has a copyright. Check existing copyrights of all ice cream and sherbet companies first off. Then check all of the doggie treat companies next.

Opy,
We have been waiting for this day. We joined the doggie blog world, and we haven't had a chance to join DWB. How do we become official members?
Our blog is www.themcgillinator.blogspot.com
Irish Love,
McG

Yay! Glad to hear this news. I'll get my L-Squared to start thinking up banner ideas.
Love and lots of licks,
Willow

Do you still do the Daisey chain? Wondering since Shamus crossed the bridge.(Some nincompoop said to me"well you only had him 5 months. Not like he'd been with you for years....Was proud of my self control. Just glarede and walked away.... )
Hugs to all of you
Jamie and the kids
