But if containing your treats is your thing, I used the computer to randomly pick a winner of the monogrammed dog treat canister from Whitewash Sundries. And that lucky person is: Samara. Congrats! Now go share the love by giving your dog Winston some cheddar cheese and popcorn. Yum.

Oh yeah, and if you didn’t win but still want one of these hand-etched puppies for your puppy, you can get 10% refunded from your purchase by entering “YOUNGHOUSELOVE” in the message to seller when you order through Thursday. See, treats for everyone!

What’s wrong with this picture?

Why are all of those yummy-delicious-oh-my-goodness-I-must-have-one-now treats in that container and not in my belly? Maybe I’ll get one once I finish being a good boy and telling you about this dog treat isolation chamber that you can win from Whitewash Sundries (the generously treated me with one- but it’s holding my goodies hostage!).

Just like the stuff my parents are giving away on their blog from Whitewash Sundries, this hand-etched stuff on glass is pretty cool (except for the fact that all my treats are highly visible so they taunt me as I stare at them longingly). Anyway, for this dog-themed giveaway, they put the first initial and silhouette of the dog you intend to tease with this look-but-don’t-touch canister. Cool right? And yes, also a bit cruel. Just be sure to remove a tasty morsel or two and give it to your four-legged friend on the regular.

So, if you (or your parents) want to win one of these amazing treat jars personalized with an initial and a customized dog silhouette, just follow these instructions that my dad helped me write:

I hear you people-y types like free things – so here goes nothing (though I highly recommend being a dog, we don’t pay for anything).

Bags can be bad, like when we are shoved in them. Bags can also be good, like when you clean up after us with them. But when Rocco’s mom over at Envirosax told us about their promotion with the ASPCA this month, I realized that bags can be really good.

Not just because they’re reusable, but because Envirosax is donating $1 for every pouch sold in November to the ASPCA to help pets who aren’t as lucky and Rocco and me.

So Rocco and his momma wanted to spread the word by letting me give a free pouch (that’s 5 whole bags!) to THREE different animal lovers out there, kinda like my parents did a few months ago on their blog. And since they’ve already got this giveaway thing down, I recruited them to help me with this next part…

• THE TREAT: A 5-bag pouch of Envirosax, any design from their graphic series (check them out, they’re super cool)
• TO ENTER: Leave me a comment on this post saying “TREAT ME” and…
• BONUS QUESTION: …I’d love to hear any good stories you have about rescuing your pet or otherwise doing something nice for us animals out there. Every little bit helps, so here’s your chance to brag.
• GIVEAWAY ENDS: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 8pm EST
• NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three lucky humans (or dogs who like to grocery shop)
• ELIGIBILITY: Pouches can be shipped to the US and Canada
• DETAILS SCHMETAILS: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!
