Eddie Enjoying His One-For-One Toy

I absolutely LOVE getting photos of furbabies playing with our one-for-one toy.  Here is one of our Twitter friend @Eddiechiwowwow and his VERY big brother enjoying the toys we sent them earlier this month. SO CUTE!!! Thank you to Eddie's humans!

February Toy Drive Update

Our February toy drive has really kicked off in a big way! Today is only the 14th, and we have already raise A TON of toys for the pooches at Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston. 22 toys have been raised through new Twitter followers (we're donating 1 toy for each 50 new follows), new Facebook fans and new blog followers (we're donating 1 toy for each new fan and follow).

On top of that, we have also received two big boxes of toy donations. One from our Twitter friend @BorisKitty. The box from Boris included the adorable angel/devil toy below. I just loved that one! We also received a box from the pawsome folks at www.FurryNFabulous.com. They sent the spaceship, chicken, moon, and lion toys you see below. I haven't counted up the total number of toys in these two boxes (I've been nursing a bottle of NyQuil since last Thursday -when will this cold go away?) so I don't have a total count on donations yet. I will soon though, I promise! In the meantime, keep spreading the word and helping us help needy dogs!

P.S. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU AND YOUR FURBABIES! XOXO

February Toy Drive Info

The month of February marks our miniature schnauzer Tootsie's 5th Gotcha Day anniversary. As many of you know, she is also recovering from cataract removal surgery - and recovering nicely, I might add! In any case, this seemed like the perfect time to do something special for her.

And so we shall! Our toy drive this month will benefit Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston [MSRH] in Tootsie's honor. It will be an online nationwide drive, and we will raise toys in the following ways:

1. The sale of our one-for-one toy: All toy donations generated from the sale of our one-for-one toy will benefit MSRH. When you buy one for your pooch we will donate one to MSRH. When you buy one as a gift we will donate one to MSRH. If you buy 5 we will donate 5! The only time this will NOT be the case is if our one-for-one toy is purchased for a specific organization; when this happens, we send the organization the purchased toy/s as well as the generated toy donation/s.
2. Used toy mail-in campaign: We are encouraging readers to box up the used dog toys their pooches no longer play with and mail them to us! Dogs don't care if toys are new or used - in fact, used toys can be more interesting because of all the new smells they come with! All toy donations we receive in the mail this month will be added to the box [or boxes!] headed to MSRH. If you'd like to do this, shoot us an email at teenys_friends@yahoo.com and we'll send you our address.
3. New fans and followers: This month I will donate 1 toy for each 50 new followers on Twitter, and 1 toy for each new "Fan" on Facebook and each new follower of this blog.

So spread the word and help us help needy dogs!
