Greenies, one of best known names in pet treats, focuses on helping pets have a healthy mouth by giving them treats that help keep their teeth clean and shining (They have not paid me or given me any incentive to write this other than the love and devotion my pups have to their product). I’ve always appreciated the goal behind the Greenies brand and what they do; now they’re giving back with the Greenies Healthy Smile award!

For your viewing pleasure, I'll share the photos that almost made the cut. To see the smile that we picked, go and vote!!!
I have entered Arie in the contest and would love it if you would vote for her. Here are 10 reasons why voting for her photo is an excellent idea:
- You love Arie, or at least reading about her.
- You love me.
- Pet food and supplies for a 95 lb beast gets expensive–A few free treats would be ever so helpful.
- Her smile really is adorable.
- You have 10 seconds to spare each day, which is all you need to vote!
- Arie is considered an “aggressive” breed. Let’s show those who discriminate against dogs for their breed that breed isn’t everything, and “aggressive” breeds can have loving, sweet, SMILING dogs in them.
- It would help get more people to read Life With Arie, giving you more interaction in comments, and probably attract more traffic to your blog through the comments!
- Greenies are great, and you’re helping them by making their contest a success when you submit your vote.
- It’s always nice to help a friend in need.
- The smile of a dog is something so precious you can’t do anything but support it.

Those are 10 very good reasons! Arie has such a great smile!
Thanks so much Jen! She is a very happy girl.
Hi Jen,
You had entered a drawing on my blog and I wanted to let you know that you have won. This is actually my third attempt at contacting you. Please let me know by Friday if you would still like to receive the product or I will assume that you are not interested in it.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
Hey Elizabeth! I messaged Jen on Twitter and let her know that you were trying to reach her.
Hi Elizabeth, I left a comment on your blog with my email address, but I’ll repost it here for you too! TheElkaAlmanac@gmail.com
Not sure if I gave you the wrong info in the first place, I never had any contact before the Twitter message. I’m sorry!
Uh, this is all my fault. I had meant to leave Katherine this message but instead used Jen’s name as that was the first one I saw on this thread.
Katherine- you entered the drawing and won. Could you please send me an email using the email info above?
Sorry for all of the confusion, I am normally not this dumb!!
No worries! Email is sent!
I love Arie’s smile! She is a beautiful girl! Love your Top 10 Reasons to vote for her!
Thanks, Edna! I appreciate it. I’ll tell her you approve of her healthy smile.
