This year's Halloween photo contest was designed to be extremely simple, largely due to my incredibly tough schedule. With a son getting married, a social media conference and a home closing all at the end of October, I felt simplicity was imperative. 

Up until today, all of the photos have been shared exclusively on our Facebook page. Now you can enjoy a slideshow of most of the photos. Those that were submitted in an overly small format could not be included--sorry!

Thanks to all of you who entered and for coming through with flying colors. Speaking of flying colors, our winner is Snowplow the Stars and Stripes Pilot you see above. Snowplow has won a MANKINDdog.com backpack, 3 dog training videos and a stuffing-free dog toy suitable for all sizes of dogs. 

Our judge had quite a job on her hands. Her request was that I also offer 3 other entrants an honorable mention prize, since we were only offering one prize this year. Do  you agree? Yeah! I though so.

Honorable mentions will each receive a surprise grab bag as a thank you for entering and sharing your adorable pups in their creative costumes. These winning Fidos are Spencer (Feeling Groovy), Magic Max as Channing Tatum, and Cricket as the Travelocity Gnome.

Watch for an email from me via my AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com account. I'll be eager to hear from each of you and get your prizes out shortly. Happy Halloween and enjoy the slideshow:



Thanks to MANKINDdog.com, AbsolutelyPetFriendly.com, and PetFriendlyAssociation.com for providing some of the prizes awarded. I was not compensated to provide this contest.
