Post-Christmas giveaway is for (and about) the dogs

Christmas is over, but the giveaways don't stop!

Today we have a hodge-podge of doggy items, starting with Season 4: Volume 1 of "Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Milan. I can't tell without opening it, but it looks like there are at least two or three discs in there. Bonus features are bloopers, the 100th episode of the show, and un-aired segments called "The Monster of Manhattan" and "Co-Worker Dogs."

With that, we'll toss in a Blu-Ray+DVD+Digital Copy pack of the 2009 family movie "Old Dogs," starring John Travolta, Robin Williams, and Seth Green. There are tons of bonuses with this, including bloopers, deleted scenes and music videos. Rated PG.

But wait! There's more!

Today's giveaway won't make you roll over and play dead

Yep, we're still giving away DVDs on the weekend!

What's that sound you don't hear? It's the "Dog Whisperer: Season 4, Volume 1."

That's the reality show on the National Geographic Channel featuring Cesar Millan who goes around to homes and fix troubled dog owners. (It's always the parents' fault!)

You'll get 833 minutes of bow wow transformation and bonus features like the 100th episode, bloopers and un-aired segments, The Monster of Manhattan and Co-Worker Dogs.

If you're mesmerized by Millan's techniques or know someone who is, this is a great stocking stuffer.

Just email me with your address in body by 8 tonight (12/4) and we'll have a random drawing and pick a winner.
