Dog Days Of Summer - Package and last contest

My spoilee, Madonna (no blog), got her package from me, and my package from my spoiler, Mandy  in KS (not sure if she has a blog or not), came in the mail today. 

For this swap, our packages were supposed to be celebrating summer and dishcloths. Mandy certainly made me feel like it was vacation time as soon as I opened her package! I love the warm Yellow and Lavender colors!

She knitted two large size cloths for me and also gave me a ball of Sugar'N Cream and a pattern for knitting and crocheting a cloth or two myself. I also got summery bright yellow Sock-Shaped Point Protectors, plenty of delicious Dark Chocolate, flavored Coffee samples and a Black Tea variety pack; a yummy smelling tin candle, and some fabulous toiletry products from Bath and Body Works: Warm Vanilla Sugar scented shower gel,  Cotton Blossom scented body lotion, a Sweet Pea scented soap and that fabulous Warm Vanilla Sugar foam burst body wash!  

I am going to smell goooo-oood!

Thank you for being such a great spoiler, Mandy!
That was a fun swap!

And now, for the last contest of Dog Days of Summer Dishcloth Swap, we are supposed to post an answer to this question on our blogs:

"When the dog days of summer get you down, what do you do to cheer up?" To me, nothing better than diving in fresh water - ocean, lake, stream or swimming pool - and to swim like a fish! I must have been a Dolphin in a previous life...

No Kidding!! You really got me curious, so I checked out their blogs. Would you believe I found the same dog pictured on both?!? What I'm wondering, though, is if it could be a mom/daughter combo, cause one of them referred to said dog as her 'grandpug'. Hmmm...
