Here’s a fun contest but it ends soon. The Bark Magazine and Greenies are having a Healthy Dog Smile contest. Check out all the smiling, happy dogs entered and vote for your favorite! The dog with the most votes will be photographed by The Bark for its cover, and will win a year’s supply of Greenies. The dog with the most votes at the moment has over 60,000 fans, but there is a cute spaniel among the top contestants that I’m voting for. The dog pictured here is from iStockphoto.com. Don’t you just love his smile?

Here is a clever contest from the folks at Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI). Go to Thatsagoodhuman.com and complete a few simple steps to take the vow to be a good human to your pet. You can upload a photo of your pet to the site, and personalize your vow, such as, “I vow to teach Alex more tricks.” Then vote for your favorite charity, choosing between the American Animal Hospital Association Helping Pets Fund, the Animal Cancer Foundation, Canine Companions for Independence, or the Helen Woodward Animal Center. For every 5,000 votes, VPI will make a $1,000 donation to that charity!
