Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, this year's GABE has been cancelled.
BOL: April Fool's!
Welcome to my blog. My name is Twinkie and I will be your hostess today. I am part of a furry large household that most people refer to as "the shelter" since we're all rescues. I mostly blog about my family and the crazy things we get into. A large part of our activities take place at a horse barn I frequent with my two canine sissies to play with other rescues and the horses. I sometimes rate animal-related products that I review. My sister, Frankie, posts on Fridays about her life as a young puppy in training, and I'm starting a weekly advice column, titled "Dear Twinkie". I am also the organized/coordinator of this event.
BOL: April Fool's!
If any of you don't see your link up within 24 hours of emailing it, shoot me! (an email)
Here's a photo of our canine pack:
Grab a coffee or some good quality kibble and have a look around my blog. The event was created for the purpose of meeting new friends and furiends and to form international relationships.
Remember that you can email me your GABE posts at twinkietinydogATaolDOTcom up to the 10th of April. I will keep updating the links as frequently as I possibly can.
About my free giveaways now. You know the rules, to be eligible to win you must leave ONE comment from which I can link back to you for your prize. I'm afraid one giveaway won't do it for me. Last time I participated in a similar event I got just over 150 comments, so I decided to give out more than one free giveaways, one every 50 comments. On April 18th, I will use random.org to pick the ... winners.
Free Giveaways
#1
My children's read-along book out.
You can read more about my book HERE
#2
Premiere Twist and Treat Dog Toy
#3
And if I have more than 150 comments...I'll gladly give away more copies of my book because I'll be sooo happy the event went so well. I love getting free giveaways just as much as I like giving them.
Thank you all for participating. Let's have a great time and make this a memorable event, until next year!

What awesome giveaways you have Twink..
Well yes we must admit we broke Callie the 2nd day she was home. We were rough housing and we broke her leg. She had to have a cast for 6 weeks.. We think the put in a bionic leg while she was there since she never slows down and she can take a beating.. Just kidding we wouldn't hurt that Pest again...

Twink, I didn't do all the link thinga-ma-jiggies, so I'll just visit blogs this time. Maybe next time I'll be much more on the tennis ball!
I was without internet for ONE day and somehow I got so far behind that I didn't even know about GABE. Glad to see that there is a window of time for participation.
Great idea!
Wow, Twink this sounds like a lot of fun. I have been reading about this on other blogs as well.
I hope to win the squirrels, mom has been wanting to buy that for me. haha

Hi Twinkie!! Happy Furst day of GABE!!! Ummmmm, I noticed Gunther's comment. I think he is feeling the need for some Twinkie Love.
I have been going through all the blogs that I follow. If they didn't gave something about GABE I have been leaving them a "reminder" to PAWticipate!!! Hope you don't mind.
Hello Sweet Little Twinkie Tinkerbell Cutie Pie!! If we win a prize we would like for you to select a Barn rescue or child (for the book) who could enjoy it. Not that we would not love a prize but we are way too spoiled and we like to give (as well as get)... we love rescues, we are all rescues too and we love Happily Ever After endings (we don't like that golf cart lady, though)! Love, Hugs and Happy Easter, Toby, Ginger, Jeter & Halle!! xoxo
Oh Twinkie, I would love to win a copy of your book!!
And if I win one of the other prizes I would give it to my grand-puppy Wylee :) (you saw her pic on my blog)
