Welcome to the Advent Calendar for Dog Lovers hosted by Kol’s Notes, Heart Like a Dog, My GBGV Life, My Brown Newfies & Terrier Torrent.
Every day between now and December 24th, we’ll be giving away great prizes – plus every time you enter to win a daily prize, you’ll be entered to win our fabulous Grand Prize Package worth more than $800 featuring gifts from each of our 24 fantastic sponsors!
Today’s giveaway is sponsored by artist AJ Emm!
Specializing in fun, whimsical pet portraits, AJ’s goal is to capture the spirit of each pet she draws.Working entirely from photographs, AJ can help you get that perfect portrait, even if your pet won’t sit for a traditional photography session.
Even if your pets can’t be in the same room, AJ can use separate photos to create a one of a kind, too good to be true art piece. Would you believe that Max and Patches would never sit this close?!
Looking for the perfect gift for the special dog lover in your life? Today is the LAST DAY that you can order custom portraits and receive them in time for Christmas.

Today’s winner will receive a custom portrait of any one of their special pets.

Don’t forget, every entry also counts toward our Grand Prize package,
featuring all 24 days of our amazing giveaways.

There are a ton of pawsome items coming up!
I really like her art. Very cool giveaway.
It is pretty neat. There are so many different items on the different days! It will be really fun!
The mom went nuts over the Boston terrier! Unfortunately the advent calendar will not open for her. I am sure you will get it fixed in a jiffy, Emma. Happy December. xoxo Maggie the PBGV
There was an error there, it should be working now. Give it another try…first day glitches.
I was able to pin it, but I don’t know if that is entering or not. Let us know!
Good question. I can’t see the requirements, but normally you need to have the pin url entered for it to count.
I remember this Advent Calendar giveaway from last year, but I was pretty new to blogging then and I don’t think I really knew what it was all about. Looks like it will be lots of fun! I have seen AJ Emm’s art before and it is very impressive.
I’m in the same boat. I saw it last year but didn’t really know what it was all about, as we had only been blogging about a year. This year I get it and am so thrilled to be involved. Some really great stuff will be given away!
This is so coowooowooool Emma! Such a pawesome idea! Woooowooooo!
All the credit goes to Kol’s notes. Their mom is awesome with ideas!
That would be nice… hurray to dog lovers.
Lots of great prizes this year!
Looks like its going to be great giveaways Emma 🙂
There is something for everyone, a real good variety!
Oh I remember this from last year. What fun! These portraits are so super cute too!
I remembered it from last year when I didn’t really get what it was all about and now I am part of it and just love it!
What an awesome idea! There are going to be a lot of spoiled pups with all these great gifts.
The advent calendar is super funtastic! We heard about it last year but didn’t really grasp the concept, now we are part of the concept…you never know what will pop up in life!
I love the style of these portraits, they’re beautiful! What a fun advent calendar.
It is a great idea and fun event for sure!
That’s beautiful… think I’m in love with Bianca, she looks great :o)
Oh no…don’t want my site to turn into a lovers site 😉
Very cool give away!
And lots more coming up!
AJ’s artwork is pawsome! And I love the advent calendar idea! 🙂
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
