Saturday morning we announced the production of our new video for "That's My Dog" and our fans are responding with some great shots of "best friends" past and present.

Now we're waiting for YOU!!

Please take a pic of you and your dog...or your kids and your dog...or your parents, grandparents, whoever...AND A DOG!! :-) Doesn't simply have to be kids and dogs! We want folks who L-O-V-E their D-O-G!!!!

The ideal pic will be of happy folks and happy canines! Smiles everyone! Smiles!!

We'd love to include your pics in the final cut so send 'em in! We'll try to use as many as we can, but obviously we won't be able to use every one...but we'll do our best!

You can email your pic to jjuliano33@yahoo.com. By submitting your pic, you agree to allowing us to use it in "That's My Dog" and have it played and distributed in the media.

The video will be used to raise money for a very prominent national animal adoption/care charity...so we're doin' it for a great cause as well!!

Thanks so much! Get us those pics!!

Trula -

Have you checked out Mommy Auctions lately? We have really been having fun since the New Year! There are so many great new items listed. Come shop with other moms! Don't forget to list any items you would like to sell as well. It's free to list, so once you list your item, you will not pay ANY fees until your item sells! :-)

Plus, join in on our fun forum where we have just added a "Fun Shop"! This is a really fun way to get items for free from other moms! :-) It's all based on points and having fun/meeting other moms in the forum. So, come see what it's all about! Join us today at www.mommyauctions.com!

By the way, I wanted to know, what can we do to make the site more fun? Leave me a comment back and let me know.

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."~anonymous
