Recently, I’ve been tweeting and sharing news on Facebook to help spread the word about the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge where for the third year in a row, shelters around the country are in a race to save more animals’ lives by competing for grant prizes. That’s all very important, and I hope you’ll help spread the word, too, but it’s also a fairly grown-up concept. I thought it would be fun to share some ways to get the kiddos involved, too. It’s never too early to start teaching children about being kind to pets and helping animals in need and ASPCA has a special website just for kids, called ASPCA Kids!
When you visit ASPCA Kids, you will find all sorts of fun tools and resources to help teach children about pet care, animal adoption, pet safety, and more! There’s a section about Cool Animal Careers, cartoons about Pet Safety, cute photos and fun games too!
I also found cool stuff like this FREE Sprout Printable for Kids that you can download with activities about being kind to animals and pets! There’s also free kid-appropriate videos, and stories about Kids Who Rock. Read about Mimi Ausland’s story and other inspiring articles about kids who are making a difference in the lives of animals and ways your kids can help, too! It’s all free, and there’s no signup or registration needed. Just visit http://www.aspca.org/ASPCAKids to access all the fun and helpful kid-friendly resources!

Finally, when you are out shopping for school clothes, backpacks and other back to school items, be sure to visit JC Penney where they are partnering with Boys and Girls Club of America as well! During the month of August, you can join JCP Cares by rounding up at the register to help support programs that benefit the Club’s programs for kids.

Let’s face it…no one likes picking up dog poop. It’s one of those things we have to do as responsible pet parents. Dog poop is stinky, it spreads germs and NO ONE wants to accidentally step in it! In addition to the hassles of bending and stooping to scoop the poop, there is also the issue of the poop bag. There’s the worry about accidentally putting a finger through it (been there, done that) and plastic bags are wasteful and most aren’t biodegradable either. Plus, poop bags aren’t cheap. You could easily spend $75 or more a year on them. And then where to dispose of the poop bag. Can’t put it in the regular trash…too stinky.
All-in-all the whole picking up poop situation stinks! Thank goodness for AuggieDog – a new power yard tool for dog owners! The AuggieDog puts an end to all the things we hate about picking up poop: no bending or stooping, no scooping and NO wasteful plastic bags. Take a sec to watch this quick YouTube Video and you’ll easily understand how it works and why AuggieDog was a recent Award Winner at the 2012 Global Pet Expo:
As you can tell from the video, it’s so easy to use that you can probably get your kids to do it! Imagine how helpful the AuggieDog would be for homes with a large yard, families with multiple dogs, or for volunteers who help out with chores at the local rescue organization or shelter!
The AuggieDog System comes complete with: the AuggieDog Poop Pickup Power Tool, Auggie Dog Charger, The CleanStation, Owners Manual, and 1-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty.
The AuggieDog System is available for $99.99 + shipping at auggiedog.com as well as at Amazon for $130 including free shipping.
We are so excited about the new AuggieDog Power Tool that in addition to this product spotlight, we’ve also arranged a GIVEAWAY! One Lucky Reader will WIN the AuggieDog System! Enter by 8/17:
