Furminator give-away — week 1

You've seen the video, now here's your chance to get your own Furminator.

Beginning this week Kate and I will be giving away two of the grooming tools — one for a dog and one for a cat — each week for four weeks.

No purchase is necessary. All you have to do is send an e-mail to me saying why you need the Furminator. Tell me how it will improve your life. Tell me how it will improve your pet's life. Tell me you just love give-aways.

Make sure you tell me whether you have a dog or a cat and give me the size Furminator you will be using.

Small Blue Tool — recommended for small- to medium-size dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets
Purple Cat Tool — recommended for small- to medium-size cats
Medium Yellow Tool — recommended for medium- to large-size dogs
Large Yellow Tool — recommended for large dogs

I use the medium yellow tool on Kate, as an example.

Please include your name, a street address to which the Furminator will be shipped via Fedex by the Furminator people and a day-time phone number.

If all the information isn't there, I can't include you in the give-away.

Each person's name will be put into a hat for a drawing. Including a picture of your pet will get you an extra entry.

By sending an e-mail or picture, you have given me permission to use your comments and/or picture on my blog.

I will be choosing the first two recipients at random Monday at the crack of noon, so you have until then to send in your e-mails.

The Furminator company is generously supplying the grooming tools to recipients of the give-away. Neither the Poughkeepsie Journal nor I are receiving any compensation from the Furminator company. I bought my Furminator myself before I started blogging about it.
