<p>We received our copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525951717?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=f0104-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0525951717">Stay by Allie Larkin</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=f0104-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0525951717" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> a few weeks ago and finally just began reading the novel. The story is very nicely detailed and is setting up to be quite a fun and interesting read.</p>
<p>The author is a super animal lover that lives with two German Shepherds and a three-legged cat! YES &#8211; that&#8217;s Argo, her very own GS on the cover.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know much about reading but the German Shepherd on the Cover looks kinda Hot! He keeps giving me THAT look!&#8221; } Halle</p></blockquote>
<p>The publisher was kind enough to hook us up with 3 extra copies <em>(thanks Ava)</em> for our loyal HBD Readers! These are Hardcover editions which make them even sweeter.</p>
<h2>Here&#8217;s How You Can WIN&#8230;</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://www.halleballedog.com/we-proudly-introduce-halleballedog-com/" title="Permanent link to We proudly introduce HalleBalleDog.com"><img class="post_image aligncenter frame" src="http://www.halleballedog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/introducing-halleballe-dog.jpg" width="595" height="300" alt="We proudly introduce HalleBalleDog.com" /></a>
</p><p>We wanted to do a dog blog dedicated to our furry friends for some time and are very excited to finally make this website official. We’ve been so busy with some of our other sites that we just never seemed to get around to it. Meantime, our <a href="http://www.twitter.com/halleballedog" target="_blank">Twitter following</a> was growing quite a bit and the experiences shared with fellow dog lovers have been <strong>priceless</strong>. This newly designed project is an extension of what successfully began in Twitterland and inspired by Halle &#8211; our Super Weim! </p>
<p>All in a name: <strong>HALLE</strong> is our beautiful Weimaraner. We sometimes use a pet name – &#8216;<em>HalleBalle</em>&#8216; &#8211; for fun! <strong>BALLE</strong> is derived from &#8216;<em>ball</em>&#8216; which is her favorite toy. <strong>DOG</strong> is well, self-explanatory. </p>
<p>Our goal is to share ideas plus teach and learn about virtually all aspects of dog care, ownership and behavior. As we say in our Twitter bio, <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re all about Caring &#038; Providing for your Dog the natural way!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Instead of posting short tidbits and news, we’re going to be focusing on regular, informative and thorough posts that will offer up lots of the ideas and useful insights we want to share with you. Our goal is to keep the <a href="http://www.halleballedog.com">HalleBalleDog</a> blog interesting and engaging but also very fun! </p>
<p>We’ve got tons of great stuff planned and hope you will join us on board for the ride. Be sure to keep in touch and connect with us:</p>
<ul>
<li>Subscribe to our <a href="/newsletter/">Newsletter</a> at the top-right of this page.</li>
<li>Follow us on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/halleballedog" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</li>
<li>Get hooked up with our <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/halleballedog" target="_blank">RSS</a> feed.</li>
</ul>
<p>We can’t wait to hear from you &#8211; Thank you for your support! ;)<br />
Super wags and kisses from Halle…</p>
