Happy Wednesday, friends!
Words cannot properly describe our excitement about today’s post. In fact, we’ve been giddy with perma-smiles plastered on our faces for the past week.
We recently received an email from Carol Bryant, the brilliant mastermind behind the FIDO Friendly Blog, Facebook page and Twitter account. She’s amazing and we often question if she ever sleeps. She assures us she does, but we’re convinced it’s with one hand on her laptop. 😉 Carol informed us a photo we submitted of Gus dining at Waxy O’Connor’s was featured in the upcoming issue. When we saw the PDF’s I may have done a little happy dance and clicked my heels in the air. Good thing M isn’t as camera happy as I am so there’s no photographic proof. You don’t ever want to see me dance…trust me.
After we received our very first issue, we tweeted our excitement to FIDO Friendly. Scroll to the end of the first PDF to see a photo of me and Gus and a quote of our tweet.
Don’t miss the other handsome Gus pictured in the top right-hand photo. What a big, beautiful boy! Feel free to click “Fullscreen” on the document to enlarge the image.
Can you believe the practically full-page photo that’s devoted to Gus’s cuteness?! Our jaws literally hit the floor when we first saw it. Scroll down to the second page for the article. I’m even quoted! *blushes*
Hmmmm…I sure hope Gus’s new-found fame doesn’t turn us into stage parents. I just had a vision of M and I dragging a grumpy and unwilling Gus to casting calls and auditions. 😉
Thank you, FIDO Friendly! We are absolutely thrilled that Gus is gracing the pages of the current issue and are grateful you allowed us to share the PDF’s on our blog!
You’d think our exciting news would stop there, right? Nope, not today! FIDO Friendly is generously providing a subscription of their fabulous magazine to one reader. Here’s how to enter:
- Leave a comment telling us how ridiculously handsome Gus is
- Just kidding…
- Leave a comment telling us how ridiculously handsome Gus is + tell us you want a subscription to FIDO Friendly
- Open to all U.S. and Canadian readers
- Winner will be chosen using Random.org and announced on Monday’s post
Easy peasy, right? And we’re totally joking about the comment requirement. You can tell us whatever you want as long as you indicate you want a chance at the subscription. We won’t even make you like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, but we’d love it if you did. 😀
Disclosure: We were not provided product or compensation for this post. We are paid-subscribers of FIDO Friendly Magazine.

Now that we’ve had our proud parent moment, it’s time to head over to BlogPaws for their Wordless Wednesday Linky. We’ll update our post with the code when it’s available. Happy Hopping!

Pssst…Scribd is a super useful site that allows you to turn any file (PDF, Word/Excel document, scanned pages, etc…) into a web document. We often scan in medical forms (for us and Gus), receipts, and other paper documents that we want access to. You have the option to upload as a public document (like the PDF’s above) or to your private collection. Give it a whirl…it’s an awesome tool and you’ll have access to your files when you’re on the go!

So exciting!! Our little Gus is famous! I will have to check it out. Do you think he would give me his paw-tograph?

I suppose I have room for a Fido Friendly in my life too! 🙂 I would give the subscription to my dog-mad middle child!
I think it’s super-cool to have your dog in a magazine. May it be only a hint of fame and fortune to come, and may “Travels With Gus” be a best seller when it hits Amazon.com! 🙂

GUS! Don’t forget all the little people now. Or the little dogs. I do believe this warrants a new food dish, though—or at least some additional chow. Congratulations!
