***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
We know that many of you, like us, have a trusty canine companion by your side during your various DIY projects. So this week’s giveaway is all about making sure your hound is as stylish as your home. And who do we have to thanks for that? Jon Wye and his specialty line of Dog Collars by FredFred.
Jon is a Washington, DC based designer who’s got a pretty sweet line of belts and t-shirts for us humans, but it was his collection of dog collars (named after Jon’s dog Fred) that caught our eye. The designs are dynamic (from the fun Dogs in Space scene to the intricate India print) and they’re all 100% leather with specially made stainless steel accents. Jon, er, Fred was even kind enough to send Burger a specially sized (1/2″ wide, instead of 1″ standard) Black and Tan Polka Dot collar and he LOVES it. Brings out his eyes, eh?
Want one? Then just comment on this post with the words “COLLAR ME” by Wednesday, April 22nd at 8pm EST. Three randomly selected winners will get their pick of any style and size from the full Fred Fred line (including the soon-to-be-added 1/2″ varieties for smaller breeds). And while you’re commenting with the words “collar me”, we’d also love to know if there’s something you currently do or buy to go that extra mile for your pup… a special treat? a doggie massage? a stylish collar perhaps? These three prizes can be shipped anywhere in the USA and, as always, only one entry per e-mail address is allowed. Winners will be announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Actually, one of these collars would look better on our dog, Stuart. He is bad to the bone.

COLLAR ME!
My lil pups (who aren’t at all little or puppies – (1) 100 lb. yellow lab and another 75 lb. mutt) love when I make my homemade peanut butter dog treats. They are super easy and include all organic ingredients so I know exactly what they are eating. And I just can’t keep from cutting them into the shape of bones!
Jessica says
“COLLAR ME”
Diesel would look great in one of his designs! He is our 110 lb chocolate lab!

COLLAR ME (please).
Stephanie Gunesch says
COLLAR ME!
Our dog is our first child – spoiled, and well loved. We take him to “doggy daycare” a few days a week where he is able to play with his friends while we are at work.
Denise says
COLLAR ME!
Our Rottweiler, Lucy, gets home cooked meals. Because of her sensitive stomach, we cook chicken breasts and steamed rice for her daily. My husband jokes that the dog eats better than we do!

Magy loves car rides!

COLLAR ME! My dogs names are FRED and Lilly!
Kate in CA says
COLLAR ME!
I love these! It’s so hard to find cute boy-dog collars and my hubby refuses to let me put Bullitt (the fastest Boston Terrier in the world) in pink! :)
Our dog is so spoiled. He LOVES playing with stuffed toys but tends to destuff them in a matter of minutes so we don’t buy them very often. Right before Easter we saw that the local drugstore had these gigantic stuffed bunnies for sale that we knew he would go crazy for. But they were $20. So we waited to buy it until last week when all Easter stuff was 75% off. SCORE! He had SOOO much fun with that bunny and there’s still a lot of destuffing to go! :)
Just have to say again how happy I am to have found your blog. You guys are amazing!
Kristy says
COLLAR ME!! I spend insane amounts of money on this one type of toy that Chloe likes to simply chew apart in a matter of 3 or 4 hours. I keep buying that same toy for her because she loves it…even though she kills it.
Erin J says
Collar me!
My girl gets to ride in the car with the windows down so she can hang out and catch the wind…regardless of how cold it might be!
Sarah says
Collar me!
My husband and I have been dog owners for 10 days now so we really haven’t gotten into special treats for our dog. Plus he’s 8 (APL rescue) so he really just prefers a comfy bed to lie down in rather than any special treat.

Collar Me!
Our bichon, Strummer, is totally spoiled. He sleeps with us, is allowed on the couch with us, has daily visits to the park, goes with us anywhere pups are allowed (The Depot, pet stores, pet-friendly restaurants), loves to ride in Daddy’s convertible with the top down, has puppy play dates with his cousins twice a month, visits his Grandma & Grandpa every other weekend, and has a spa day once a month. We don’t have kids, so he is our “child”, LOL.
Jenn Powell says
COLLAR ME!
Those are SO cute! We have to little pups who would look adorable with a collar like that! As far as treating them…they sleep in our bed with us (never what we intended but now I wouldn’t have it any other way) and get pretty much whatever they “ask” for, BUT, in return they’ve brought endless joy to our families lives, so it’s a small price to pay. :)
Lindsay says
COLLAR ME!
Our little corgi, Trudi, is our weekend tag-a-long, and pretty much gets to go everywhere with us :-)
LauraC says
COLLAR ME!!! Mocha needs a new collar and what a stylish puppy she’d be in one of those!
Melissa says
“COLLAR ME”
Valerie says
COLLAR ME! Please!
Kara says
You must COLLAR ME. My chi, Arlo Guthrie would love a new collar. I would love to get one for my other chi, Minnie but she is so tiny nothing really fits her. So I have to buy cat collars for her.
Elisabeth says
Collar ME! Cheddar needs some bling!
YoungHouseLove says
It’s so fun to hear all these fabulous pet names! Hamburger requests a play date with Cheddar immediately.

Collar Me! We take our 2-year-old Australian Shepherd Simone to dog beach (San Diego,CA) every Saturday! Her birthday is coming up also…April 24!

COLLAR ME!
Rachel Halsey says
Collar me! Or should I say, collar Oscar!
I love love love looking at all of your adorable photos of Burger – it makes me feel so much better about making Oscar model for me on such a regular basis ;)
Oscar has been our “first born” ever since my husband and I moved in together two years ago. He’s spoiled rotten. Sleeping in between us under the covers every night and sometimes sleeping in much later than us – making it impossible for us to make our bed in the morning.
He’s a trusty companion and a terrible terrier (Norfolk, to be exact) but we can’t imagine our life without him.
We definitely go out of our way to do just about anything for this little ball of fur… including taking him on every road trip and stopping regularly for his oh-so-tiny bladder… ;)
Jenn says
Collar Me
Our little guy could totally rock the flames!
Donna P says
“COLLAR ME” I would love to win this collar because we are getting a new Portuguese Water Dog puppy on May 10th! This is our second “Portie”, our last portie passed away in August 2008, BooHoo!!!
misty says
COllar me!
Hank would look great in that space dog collar! what a great idea!
we take the pups out to the hiking trail and let them run off-leash and sniff out all the woodsy creatures. They love it!
CM says

Meaghan says
COLLAR ME!
I love giving a treat to our pups, Buster & Lily, when they’ve actually listened to what we asked them to do.
And our pug, Buster, is currently in a “cutest pug” contest and we love telling him how cute he is =)

Collar Me!
Buying our two elderly dogs’ medications is as much extra mile as we can afford. :)
Amanda says
COLLAR ME! :)
Leela, our special needs pitbull mix (http://dellastella.blogspot.com/2008/10/happy-halloween.html) especially loves hula hoops. She destroys them quickly, but the few minutes she spends chasing them and running around the backyard with them in her mouth is totally worth it.
Yvonne says
COLLAR ME! :)
Everything I do for my little guys is going the extra mile, it is the least I could do since they give me unconditional love in return.
Heidi says
Collar Me!!! I have two Boston Terriers: Jax and Jewels. They’re both adorable and have opposite personalities. Jax loves water so anytime he’s taken to the park, the hubs and I let him swim in the creeks. Jewels, on the other hand, hates the water and prefers to lay out in the grass, so we always make sure to have a pit stop so she can work on her tan.
Crystal says
Collar me, please.

COLLAR ME! Detroit has been “helping” us paint our new house… and by “helping” I mean “getting underfoot whenever possible…” :)
