The winners were randomly chosen via a number generator, and I&#8217;ve copied their comments here (some of them shortened just a little for brevity).

I think my 7 year old greyhound would love the salamander squeaky toy if it was large enough.
The Skooperboxes that hook onto the leash are a great idea.

And, I&#8217;d also like to thank everyone who took the time to enter, telling us about your favorite product and your cute dog stories!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/files/2008/06/salamander-toy.jpg" alt="Salamander-toy.jpg" align="right" border="0" height="212" width="225" />The winners were randomly chosen via a number generator, and I&#8217;ve copied their comments here (some of them shortened just a little for brevity).</p>
<p><strong>Julie</strong> found a nice toy and I pictured it here:</p>
<blockquote><p>I think my 7 year old greyhound would love the salamander squeaky toy if it was large enough.<br />
The Skooperboxes that hook onto the leash are a great idea.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Kate</strong> tells us about her Scottie and its favorite products:</p>
<blockquote><p>My Scottie, Max, is a huge fan of anything from Planet Dog, so he would pretty much love the selection at Paw Luxury. Although I’m finding it quite hard to choose, I’d say the blankets are probably my favorite &#8211; if he had one of theirs, I might get mine back!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Tammy</strong> told us about her new pet:</p>
<blockquote><p>We just adopted a male minature poodle from the animal control center. I purchased a pooper scooper for cleaning up messes, but we are going to be traveling 1200 miles to attend the birth of our new grandson in Sept. Our pooper scooper is big and bulky. These would sure come in handy. I like the Earth Dog Hemp Fleece Blanket Blue, the Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff recycleBONE w/ Treat Spot and Polka Dog &#8220;It’s Nice To Be Kneaded&#8221; Onesies Treats.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Kathy</strong> picked a really cool product:</p>
<blockquote><p>Love the Bella Creature Comforts Bella Bed in desert rose</p></blockquote>
<p>And <strong>Kris</strong> has a good point:</p>
<blockquote><p>I like the hemp rope toy. I would love to not have to feel the poop through the bag &#8230; or even worse have holes in the bag!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Congratulations to the winners! </strong></p>
<p>All winners have been contacted by e-mail. If you would like to learn more about some of the products mentioned in comments, just go to <a href="http://www.pawlux.com/">Paw Luxury</a> and click around. It&#8217;s all very organized and attractive.</p>
<p><strong>Thanks again to everyone who participated. And please don&#8217;t forget to enter our <a href="http://www.treehuggingfamily.com/win-a-childrens-book-think-green/">children&#8217;s book contest</a> going on now.</strong></p>

As noted in the contest post, entries should be accompanied by your favorite item from Paw Luxury, our sponsor for the contest. They have lots of great green dog treats, toys and accessories, like the 100% organic U Neek Nut Roll Dog Treats pictured above.

		<description><![CDATA[I have to avoid a lot of poo on the sidewalks near my apartments. Some of it is goose poo, but a lot of it is doggie poo. I even catch people from my windows who merrily leave their dog&#8217;s waste outside.
Do you know someone like that? Are you someone like that?
An eco-friendly doggie product, Skooperbox, can help solve the problem. Skooperboxes are made of 100% recycled paper, clip on leash, and can be thrown away after use. Simple. And they biodegrade quickly.
