My Secret World of Whippets Lens won a purple star at Squidoo!

Wow! I am just so delighted that my Secret World of Whippets lens at Squidoo won a purple star badge. According to Squidoo, it's a really good honor to have. It's not hooked up yet and mine is only one of two lenses so far with the award. Supposedly, it comes with some really cool perks. I've only been on Squidoo for a few months and already I am getting high ranks and awards. I have to say that my experience with Squidoo has been extremely positive. It's a great venue to write about stuff you love to talk about.




So if you aren't familiar with the lens concept and what I'm talking about, you should visit my latest lens called, Thank You Squidoo! It explains how I found Squidoo and what it has done for me. Find out how you can make these web pages totally free of charge and make money doing it! Or donate your money directly to charity. It's lots of fun and very addicting.
If you have a sighthound, you should make a page about your dog and link it to my page. Or join my Sighthound Lovers Unite Group at Squidoo! Open to all sighthounds.
But back to the topic at hand, I think I really found a niche with my Whippet lens. Not many people were even aware of what a whippet was until they saw my site. And it was a great way to get them to visit my WhippetTalk Forums and visit my Whippet Gifts Store.

As a result I even made a lens about Dog Bling! You know, jewelry for dogs? Ha ha! Yep, a little sparkle to place on the collar of your beloved pet. Yes, I do spoil my dog. But I saw these cute charms online and put together a bunch of links with photos so people could shop in one place. I thought the prices were very reasonable (items are less than $20). And these make great gifts for friends who own pets too! You know, the people who you never know what to get them for their birthday? Don't get them anything, get their pets something! What pet owner wouldn't want cool stuff for their pets?
