Hi everyone! It’s Dakota! Back in October, I was reading one of my favorite blogs:

Roo has a super special story about his life, which if you don’t know his story, you can read about it here
Now being the super generous dog that he is, Roo was having a give-away for a BarkBox and/or a MeowBox as part of Roo’s Birthday/Gotcha celebration and I decided to enter!
What is a BarkBox?
From their website:
When you sign up for BarkBox, every month you will receive a box in the mail with four or more carefully selected products and presents for your dog – anything from bones and treats to shampoos, leashes and innovative new gadgets!
A portion of proceeds from each box will go to help doggies-in-need. To learn more about our causes, read about our giving program.
Here is a photo of Roo and HIS BarkBox

Then…when it was time to pick winners
of his contest,
look who Roo picked!

I was BEYOND excited that I won!
Look at all of my stuff!
Do you believe it? One of my favorite things in that box are the blueberry treats by Fruitables Pet Foods! They are the perfect size for all of my treat toys and they are super delicious! Not to mention the great treat toy by Bionic and of course a gift card from our pals at chewy.com !! Everything I love!!
Mom was super impressed with the Bark Box and said if she ever starts making some money again that maybe she will look into this for me. If not for me, it would make a great gift for some other lucky doggies!
Now, if that wasn’t generous enough, Roo even got presents for my kitty brother Cody, so he wouldn’t feel left out! Look at all of this stuff that Cody got!
There was a KONG kitty toy, a dangly, a KONG brush, a blanket and wait! Even THIS! A Cat Amazing treat maze for Cody!
Click on the photo to enter to win one on Cody’s blog!! You have til Monday at 5pm EST to enter!
Here is a video of Cody enjoying his Cat Amazing!
You can enter to win one on his blog until

Both Cody and I want to thank Roo for his INCREDIBLE KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY! It would have been enough for just ME to win (of course!), but to include Cody as well, was one of the kindest things we have ever experienced.
We are deeply touched Roo,
we THANK YOU from the top of our ears,
to the tip of our tails,
and to the “moon and back!!”
We love you Roo!
Dakota and Cody

Oh yes Echo & Link the box was wonderful! Cody loves his Cat Amazing too and it was so nice of Roo to do that! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
I got that bark box too. I loved my fruitables it was apple bacon flavor. Mommy used that chewy gift card towards my birthday present the other day. Mommy only signed me up for 3 bark boxes . Our 1st bark box was courtesy of our friend Finn . If we had more money too, we would have continued our subscription too. Glad u loved your bark box. Congratulations on winning it.
Oh you got apple bacon flavor? YUM! Mine were blueberry! Mom said she may sign me up for few but we will see. It IS a great gift idea! Thank you! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
OMD!!! You two did win BIG!!!
we did!!! We are so appreciative! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
It always feels awesome to win something, especially when it’s something really good! Looks like you two got the jack-pot! Enjoy!
We sure did!! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
Oh a Bark Box – that’s cool! Sadly I live in a country where you can bark as much as you can and maybe you will land in a box but you didn’t get one . Have a wonderful Saturday Dakota & Cody& Mom :o)
Easy you kill us! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
