BARK FOR AWARENESS GIVE AWAY FOR WEEK 13

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Week 13 of the NFL season is officially in the books, and so is week 13 of the Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Bark For Awareness Give Away!

As our loyal fans know, week 13 was “Double Up” week. Last week featured your best chance ever to receive FREE Official Vick Dog Chew Toys!

What a weekend it was! Michael Vick was back in Atlanta to face his former Team, the Atlanta Falcons. Double Up week allowed our top vote getter to receive free Official Vick Dog Chew Toys for every touchdown the Eagles AND the Falcons scored. Additional, the Michael Vick multiplier was in play.

Would week 13 prove to be lucky for the Eagles and Michael Vick? Would Michael Vick finally get off his dog bit butt and contribute? Would the Eagles continue to put up victories in a tough NFL East that is coming down to the wire?

The answers are, YES, YES, YES!

First, the Eagles dominated the Falcons with a 34 to 7 win. With the win the Eagles moved to within one game of the Cowboys and are still in the hunt for a postseason birth. Next, Michael Vick finally entered a place that he has not been in for more than 3 years. Was it an animal shelter? Unfortunately not! Michael Vick made it to an NFL end zone. While Michael Vick does not seem to be making much news regarding the commitment he made to help us and our fantastic organizations to help our animals, he did make national news when he scored not one but two NFL touchdowns last week.

Even though it seems to me that Michael Vick is not much interested in taking even small steps to raise awareness, Aim To Beginn, LLC and The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy are still going to do our part. In recognition of the 2 Touchdowns that Michael Vick scored, we are doubling up on the free Official Toys for those two scores. It would be great to hear more from Michael Vick regarding his own actions, but we will not let his sudden memory loss stop us from our awareness Give Away.

So, let’s get to the Official Vick Dog Chew Toy week 13 free toy count and recognize this week’s winner!

Free Official Vick Dog Chew Toy Count:
4 touchdowns scored by the Eagles = 4 Free Official Toys.
1 touchdowns scored by the Falcons = 1 Free Official Toy.
2 touchdowns scored by Michael Vick = 2 Free Official Toys.

Total FREE Official Vick Dog Chew Toys, week 13 = SEVEN!

Aim To Beginn, LLC is proud to recognize week 13 as the largest FREE Official Vick Dog Chew Toy payout to a single winner.

So, who took the big prize? In another week of heavy vote casting, week 13 once again came down to the final days of NFL week 13. We had several contenders taking the top votes. As the final totals were in, Carolina Care Bullies took 48% of the total votes cast and will also take home the week 13 title and SEVEN Free Official Vick Dog Chew Toys! Congratulations!

Next Step – The Official Story of the Official Dog – The Split!

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I appreciate your interest in my story.

To recap: The last few entries were titled, “Wait or Compromise”. The entries detail the challenges I faced with a rogue partner; one that wanted to jeopardize the future of the Official Vick Dog Chew Toy by selling toys and products that did not represent our original offer and did not meet our quality standards.

The next series of entries are titled, “The Split”. I hope you enjoy and appreciate your interest.

At this point in the venture there was no way that I was going to allow the follow two things to happen:

1) Production of an Official Vick Dog Chew Toy that differed in any way from the original product that was offered and ordered by thousands.
2) The intentional disrespect of a manufacturer that extended valuable mold time and guaranteed, in writing, the safety of our product.

The rogue partner did not see things my way. Just as a side note, I am not a control freak. It is fine with me if others do not see things as I do. Where I do draw the line is when other decisions jeopardize my integrity and my word. This is when things get complicated. Efforts by others that intentionally alter the product we originally advertised and promised to consumers, and products that utilize those funds that were never advertised and are very poorly made were two efforts that I simply would not allow.

That case was presented to the rogue employee. At first, he utilized his own funding to try and produce the products, using our website as a catalyst of interest. We immediately found that there was no interest and purchasers simply wanted the product we initially advertised. I immediately concluded that all focus should be on production efforts related to The Official Vick Dog Chew Toy. Not so for the rogue employee. He was pursuing other manufacturers and doing so without appropriate consent.

Here is the situation: wait for a safe product to be manufactured, communicate to all buyers regarding expected delivery dates, proactively offer and fulfill all refund requests from those that choose not to wait, and utilize all funds as originally intended for the production of a guaranteed safe toy that meets the product specifications originally advertised.

Simple, right? Not so. This is where, “The Split”, begins.

I appreciate your interest in my story.
