#BarkFriday Report: Zuke's Fuels the Love

Yesterday's post-Thanksgiving events included lots of napping, shopping, and Tweeting, the latter of which occurred during the Event Barkers #FueltheLove #BarkFriday Twitter Party. After dealing with crowds, an empty wallet and a craving for leftovers, many of our party guests returned home to put up their sore feet. It was time to grab an extra slice of turkey and pumpkin pie, snuggle up with Fido and a laptop to Tweet among dog-loving folks with @ZukesPets and @EventBarkers. 
My crew was still under the spell of a turkey-induced naptime shortly before the party, but I managed to arouse Oliver to do his job Tweeting @5MinutesforFido. After all, @RoccoHavanese was counting on him!
Each of our winners scored a whopping 15 bags of Zuke's treats including 4 treat lines with a total of 15 different flavors. They'll be treating their pups healthy well into the New Year. Here's the prize list for each of our winners and an image of each:

• Hip Action Treats: 3 flavors
  
• New Skinny Bakes: 3 flavors
• Mini Naturals: 6 flavors, including 2 brand new ones!
• Z-Filets in 3 flavors

Zuke's did a fab job of helping out Event Barkers to share their news. On top of the Twitter Party winners, we still have a #FueltheLove Blog Hop going on with plenty of giveaways that are open through Sunday evening. Don't miss these last opportunities to win while you've got time this weekend.

What's more, you still have until midnight Sunday to enter 2 additional giveaways that we're facilitating: the #FueltheLove video contest (via Instagram or Vine) and the "Thank You  Zuke's" photo submission. The latter is not a contest, but a random drawing from entries. Just add your pup's pic to this image and Tweet with #BarkFriday #FueltheLove to enter. With low entries expected in both of these categories, your chances are increased. We encourage you to grab your camera and get busy Tweeting! Winners will be announced on Monday.

Now, on behalf of our awesome sponsor, Zuke's, we'd like to announce the Twitter Party

Each of these winners have been contacted and will receive two packages: one from Zuke's including 15 bags of the treats in the image above, and one from Event Barkers with a holiday toy and some goodies from our sponsors. Winners were offered a choice of Christmas or Hanukkah toys, making this a special playtime to go with their Zuke's treats.

Now, let's move on to one last opportunity that still exists to score free Zuke's treats. The #FueltheLove Blog Hop has a few open giveaways through Sunday, December 1 at midnight. Each of these prizes vary. Don't delay!

Just when you thought I was done with opportunities I've got one that's perfect for you

Event Barkers received our holiday gift when the #FueltheLove #BarkFriday Twitter Party trended on Twitter. That was our signal of a job well done and it was noticed by many of our party guests. Happy holidays!
