I took this week’s photo last Friday, as Chloe and I rode the ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Island’s Friday Harbor. Although dogs are allowed upstairs if they’re in a carrier, and the view from upstairs is really lovely, I typically stretch out in the car and snooze. Usually Chloe sleeps in my lap, but this time she curled up in the passenger seat.

As you know, I’m giving goodies away over the next several Photo Fridays! After the photo, I’ll reveal last week’s winner, and tell you about the new giveaway.

Last week’s prize was a copy of Wendy Diamond’s book It’s a Dog’s World — The Savvy Guide to Four-Legged Living (reviewed by Dog Jaunt earlier this year). Five of you posted pictures, and I’m so grateful you did — they’re wonderful. The randomly-selected winner was Ace (Photo #1). Erin, please email me your mailing address, and I’ll send you your prize! My address is at the bottom of Dog Jaunt’s “About” page.

The new giveaway

Please send me your favorite dog travel photos! They’ll get listed below, for everyone to click on and view — and they’ll give you a chance to win a PurrfectPlay.com felted ball. As I mentioned in the review I wrote earlier this year, the felted balls from PurrfectPlay.com are Chloe’s favorite toy. They’re also terrific for travel, since they aren’t noisy, nor do they mark hotel walls. The one I’m giving away is new, unused, and 2.5″ in diameter, suitable for a medium-sized dog (Chloe prefers a 2″ diameter ball).

The rules remain the same, except that this week’s Photo Friday will close at midnight (Pacific) on Wednesday, August 18. The winner, chosen randomly by the Otto Method, will be announced in the next Photo Friday post, on August 20.

Here’s how it works:

1. If you have a blog or a website, post a dog travel photo on your site on Friday and link back here to the current week’s “Photo Friday” post so that your readers can see other great dog travel photos. Please take a moment to make sure that you are linking directly to your photo post instead of your homepage.
2. If you don’t have a blog or a website, simply post your photo to Flickr (or Facebook, Twitpic, etc.).
3. Using the inlinkz button below, paste in the link to your photo or your blog post. That way, Dog Jaunt will link back to you. Please include a few words in the “Name” box describing where you took the photo (in this case, “Name” refers to the name of your photo, not your name!).
4. Alternatively, heck, just e-mail me your picture ([email protected]) and I’ll post it for you!
