According to Google Analytics, we're about to get our 1000th unique visitor to our blog! You know, the blog we were NEVER going to have? Woo-HOOOO! As of yesterday we've had 2811 visits, with 3873 pageviews and 944 unique visitors. All since September 15th when we figured out how to use Google Analytics.
We got the idea to have a celebration give away from our blog friends and actual neighbors Kari & Kijsa (who have a really cool home decorating blog - make no mistake, I need all the inspiration and help I can get) . Soooooo, if you would like to get a free, autographed and pawtographed copy of Mama Pajama Tells A Story, 2nd edition just post a comment to this thread, and I'll enter you in a drawing. If you already have a copy of the book, I will make you a custom collar like this instead.
It's our way of saying thanks for visiting and thank thanks thanks for spreading the word!

One can never have too many copies of Mama Pajama Tells a Story! It's my favorite gift to give to family and friends.

Patience,
ReplyDeleteI love, Love, LOVE your blog. I try to come by everyday to see what's new. Mama's book and all your other work is wonderful - I think we have some of everything. :0)
Sue, Gracie, and Taz
I've added your blog to my daily rotation of sites I visit. It's the only blog I read - I told my husband "the difference between reading a regular blog and a blog by an actual writer is the difference between eating a Hostess Cupcake and a Death-by-Chocolate concoction at a 5 star restaurant." You are the 5-star death-by-chocolate! :-D
ReplyDeleteHi P...
ReplyDeleteI have to stop reading your stories at work. I am either giggling or crying.

Congratulations on nearing the big 1000!! I wish I knew more people who read blogs/blogged, because this is a site that everyone should read. For dog lovers, it's pure delight to hear the stories and experiences of someone who loves their hounds as much as we do!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love your Blog Patience! I laugh untill tears come, that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteNaydene and the Marnay Crew!
I will be keeping all toes and fingers crossed that I win the give-away- I would *love* a copy of MPTaS, 2nd edition! I've shared your blog with my family and dog friends who I know are appreciative- too much fun! (And fun to share.....)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is in my bookmarks and I visit nearly every day. I'm enjoying Bill's blog too.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Wow! You're one talented lady! We're new to visiting your blog so we didn't know that you could sew beautiful collars as well as write the most heartfelt stories! We love that photo of the nine of you! How did Patience get you all to behave at once!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Patience,
ReplyDeletePlease put my name in the hat! I love your stories and I've been begging for a copy of Mama Pajama from my hubby. He hasn't taken the hint yet.
Love the blog!

Hi Patience,
ReplyDeleteGuess it's time I introduce myself--seeing as though I read your blog almost every day and now feel like we're old friends! My name is Lindsey and I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my 5 and 1/2 year old Whippet, Phoebe (who, might I add, looks strikingly similar to Sam I Am). We enjoy your blog very much and have been meaning to order a copy of MPTaS for several years! Thanks for the wonderful blog and keep the stories coming!
Congratulations on reaching the 1000th visitor. I have both of your books and love reading the blog you would never have. I also have a couple of your collars. One can not have too many of either the great books or the lovely collars.
ReplyDeleteLinda/Daydream Hounds Crew
I agree with Wendy - you are the 5-star death-by-chocolate! I visit your blog every day.
ReplyDeleteCount me in and congratulations on your success!! It is well deserved.
ReplyDeleteKoda likes to hear about your adventures with Stupid City Squirrels. Levin has a bit of a crush on Mama Pajama. He also wants to give a shout out to his look alike, Very Old Dog. Me, I love your ability to capture a dog's soul in your writing. Great blog!
Patience, I absolutely love your blogs and so I know I would LOVE your book - is it for sale in the U.K. bookshops? If not it should be.
ReplyDeleteThe dog collar is beautiful, which tells me you are obviously very keen on your sewing. Please could we hear more on your sewing projects? Perhaps a separate blog?
Me, me, enter meeeee! =)

ReplyDeletePatience,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog. I love the stories!

Okay, I admit I've been a lurker and I already have your book but the collar really hooked me. I love your blog because I usually can count on having a huge grin on my face and a chuckle or two. I loved your second book (would love to get a hold of the first one) and I am indebted to Rhonda for alerting me your blog.
ReplyDeletePatience,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! It's reward enough to be able to read your stories on an almost daily basis. However a copy of Mama P's book would be lovely as well.
Love,
Sheila & Lady
So I already have the book and lots of collars..How about a round trip ticket for me and Nearly to Peeduchieo.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1000!!
Hugs,
Vee
Wait - when do you get puppies? I swear, you don't tell me anything!
ReplyDeleteLove Kathy & Agnes
Well TO the I will never have a blog FROM the I will never comment on a blog -
ReplyDeleteI know it is hard to believe this may be the first blog I have read but what a blog! very entertaining.
What a great idea! I've really enjoyed reading your entries. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteJessica
(Kathy don't kill me: the "puppies" are fifteen months old.)
ReplyDeleteOkay, i read your blog every day and i don't have a copy of the book -- but don't enter me, enter Drover! He's the one who wins stuff. Usually really awesome stuff at raffles at the end of agility trials after amassing an impressive collection of NQs, just to make sure i'll take him home.
ReplyDeleteOkay...okay...we had to leave a comment....please pick us....we think your FABULOUS (or any other adjective you want to insert here)!
ReplyDeletesmiles, kari and kijsa
I have both editions of your book, plus a collar. But everyone knows you can never have enough collars!

Hey Patience!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blogs! (Sorta like getting a little dose of your Mama Pajama book every day...it's GREAT!) :) Wish we lived closer so I could enjoy your wit in PERSON, rather than once a year at the national. Thanks for sharing! Hi to Bill - and see you in Eugene next year.
:) Donna O'Toole
Dear Nana P,
ReplyDeleteI miss you so much and hope to see you and my cousins sometime soon! My Mom loves your blog and enjoys all of your wonderful stories. I am so blessed to have you as my Nana!
Love, Vesta
Patience, I love your blog. I don't have nearly as many dogs as you do (well, only 2 actually, but I am campaigning for a third) and only one of them has any whippet in him at all (half whippet)but your stories make me laugh and sometimes cry and always remind me that I am not crazy for loving my dogs so much.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have a copy! And I am delighted to have found your blog.
ReplyDeleteKoobuss Kisses,

ReplyDeleteas a long time Whippet servant, your stories hit home with me. I've had Whippets or they've had me for over 20 yrs. I don't have a copy of your book yet, or one of your collars :) Congrats on such a well received blog !
