Attention dog lovers, I have good news for you! My sister, Ellen, just redesigned her Classic Hound website and not only is it the best lookin' dog collar site I've seen, but all domestic shipping orders under 1 pound (up to three collars and three leashes!) costs only ONE DOLLAR.
And there's more good news. She is giving away one of her Mini-Martingale Keychains!! They work just like a martingale collar, with the cinch loop tightening around your wrist when your keys pull down. Enjoy a trip to the front door, groceries on one hip, dog leash in hand *without* worrying about dropping your keys or needing to reach into your pocket for them. These Mini-Martingale Keychains won't slip off your wrist like regular key fobs and wristlets will, which gives you one less thing to worry about! Also, one added benefit to this keychain is that it's so easy finding your keys in your purse. And what I Iove is that you don't have to own a dog to enjoy one!
hint, hint Ellen--I want this one for my birthday
Is that brilliant or what? And listen up all of you dog-collar-making-people out there--hands off this idea! If you try to copy her I'll throw a banana at your head. Yes, she's my sister, and I'm being protective. So there. :)
This giveaway is now closed... thanks to all of those who entered!!!
So who wants one??

I hope you enjoy perusing the new site!
xo,
Pamela, a gal who's proud of her big sis
I love your sisters stuff! The corduroy version is my favorite mini-martingale, but I absolutely ADORE the Rhapsody shoulder bag (I have a bit of a bag fetish...I can't help myself!)

Love the Classic Hounds website. Cool collars -- so many choices. I could easily pick out a dozen that would look adorable on my girl. My "favorites" -- yes, there are several -- would be a cherry or turquoise corduroy martingale collar, a felt pet portrait, and the tag shuttles. (I've been buying multiple ID tags just to avoid the hassle of moving tags from collar to collar. Glad to find there's an easier way.)
I also like the leash bag. I received a similar one as a gift 14 years ago when we brought home our first whippet. They are so practical. I think every dog owner should have one.

Gosh, I had a very hard time deciding between several items. Ultimately, it came down to the Monarchy Red dog collar. I have a black lab, and the gorgeous colors would pop on her. :) My Clover would adore the leash bag and the tag. Xani would choose the "Tweet This" collar. Thanks for sharing!
