Tour Closes @ The Doglady's Den Life Post-Tour
Some of the very, very generous blogger friends who offered to host me and the dog book weren't able to fit in the posts during the tour. Stay tuned for posts at these lovely sites:

May 23rd @
Birgit's BBCreations
Dog Movies: Yea or Nay?

Lisa Bregant's Heartprints Pets

Donna B. McNicol's Our Prime Years Three signed paperback copies of
It's About the Dog
mailed to you directly from Curaçao
(Please note: may include dog hair and the odd paw print.)

Every time you comment on a post in the blog tour—the ones listed here above—your name will be put in a hat. You can comment as many times, and on as many posts, as you want; each time your name will be added to the hat. On May 23th we'll have the drawing (via random number generator) and we'll announce the three winners the next day here at this blog and on this page.

Winners will be notified via email, if I have it already or I can find the address at your blog or website. Failing that, the second option will be to leave a comment on your blog or website. Some blogs have comments disabled, so we do have a third—and last—option: via social media, if I can find links to your Twitter or Facebook profile. You'll need to reply and send me your mailing address in order to claim your prize. Please note that, due to Curaçao registered mail policy, this cannot be a P.O. box. If you'd rather not disclose your address, you may choose to receive instead a PDF copy of the book. If I figure out a way of signing PDFs I'll gladly sign that one, but otherwise you'd be receiving an unsigned copy.

Winners will have until May 31st to claim their prizes (i.e., send me either their mailing address or the request for a PDF instead). If I haven't heard from you by June 1st, the prize will be re-raffled and all the previous winner's claims will be forfeit.

The signed copies will be mailed to you as soon as I receive them (and, of course, sign them), which may take a while... Curaçao mail, whether incoming or outgoing, is not exactly speedy. But I'll confirm to you when your package has been sent, and I can even provide a website where you can track it (at least in theory... here in the islands things don't always work the way one expects them to).
