THE I, DOGBOT DOG TAG
DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
Giveaway Task

I got all excited that after four and a half years of blogging, I finally was auto-approved by a publishing house on Netgalley. I kept checking for my badge to appear so I could add it to my footer crossbar here on the blog, but after three days it never showed up, so I Googled... you have to be approved by four publishers to qualify for the badge.

I'm still fighting to get posts drafted between the keyboard problems, and things not loading, or taking forever to load, and Blogger's stupid pink error messages if I change even a comma in the post draft. Most of the problems I don't know if they are my internet provider, the Kindle Fire, or Blogger, but the combination is certainly profoundly discouraging. I've been trying to finish drafting this post since 9:00 am.

Remember we were talking about things breaking in threes and I was waiting for the third thing since my microwave and fan broke? Well, the headphone jack quit working on my big Kindle Fire. I can still listen to audiobooks on my two little Fires, but I bought the 10.1" Fire HD to watch movies and tv programs on, and having to listen to the sound on crappy little speakers is not appealing at all. It's still under warranty and I am going to contact Amazon, but going by their useless customer service for the last two Kindles I had that broke, they will just string me along with endless emails and four hour tech support phone calls until the warranty expires. So, I guess I'm looking at having to buy bluetooth headphones.

It's also been hotter than hades here and the new fan isn't cutting it.

All posts for the rest of August will be dog themed for DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. Also hop over to my co-host Jolene's introduction post: HERE. I have a linky giveaway for an international $12 egift card going up on Tuesday. Jolene will be having a giveaway of some of her favorite dog books, and she will be donating $1 for every book with a dog in it, or on it, that we read and review in August to her local dog rescue; up to $100!
