With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, love is in the air — and pups can sniff it too!  That’s why I’ve partnered with Big Heart Pet Brands (makers of LTeeny, Jayla, Bella & Charlie’s favorite dog foods, including Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, Canine Carry Outs and Milo’s Kitchen) to invite you to the first-ever #DoggyDateNight Twitter Party!

Come celebrate with other dog lovers, show off your best puppy pics, and get treated to lots of cool surprises. Just cuddle up with your furry soulmate and tag your tweets with #DoggyDateNight to join in the fun!

For those are you unfamiliar with Twitter Parties, they are really fun and oftentimes, huge, live chats on Twitter that use specific hashtags to connect participants to the conversation stream.

In preparation for the #DoggyDateNight twitter paw-ty, I found some great doggy outing ideas at TheNosePrint.com, a site with tons of paw-some tips, tricks and advice for dog parents. (It’s one of my go-to resources!)

With Valentine’s Day coming up, this #DoggyDateNight couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m excited to do something special for Jayla, LTeeny, Bella and Charlie. Though I’m fairly certain his idea of a dream date is feasting on some Milo’s Kitchen Steak Grillers. They are his favorite!

Readers, which is your favorite Doggy Valentine DIY Project?  Tell me in the comments below.  Plus, share a photo of your homemade doggy valentine at the Twitter Party and you could win an awesome prize!

I can’t wait to see you all at #DoggyDateNight on Wednesday, Feb. 3, from 8-10 pm ET (5-7 pm PT).
