#SuperDogSunday Winner Announcements!

When the final decisions were handed to Paris and I the judges looked like two very tired folks. Between trying to enjoy the game and also working to bring us decisions, this was one very tough volunteer position for both of our judges. Every charity event needs volunteers, and ours worked awfully hard for their beer and pretzels!

I'm sure you're all wondering who scores the great loot. First, let me give a full description of the prizes. As indicated in an earlier post, the bulk of the prize value comes from our Platinum Sponsor, Nature's Logic. Each of the first 6 winners will receive about $65-$70 in Nature's Logic foods for their dog to enjoy--a variety of flavors that includes kibble and canned. 

In addition to the array of Nature's Logic flavors, Event Barkers is tossing in some goodies also. These winners will each snag a football toy for Fido (sized appropriately for most dogs), a doggie bandana sized for your dog, and a pet rescue coloring book for the children in your life.

Our Best All Around Cat winner will score the following great prizes, along with a rescue coloring book, kitty treats, and a copy of Barkonomics--great ideas for saving money on pet products and services. The cat carrier is made by Sherpa and is truly a beautiful bag that our winner will be proud to use. An assortment of toys has been hand-selected by our friends at CatTipper.com, where cats know that they can be Super Dogs also! 

Finally, the Best All Around Dog winner scores a major haul like our cat winner above. In addition to the items pictured below, this lucky Fido will receive a Luv and Emma door-hanger towel for cleanups on the front step, an extra special football toy for great indoor and outdoor fun, the pet rescue coloring book that's sure to thrill the children in the family, a bottle of Nature's Logic Sardine Oil for skin and coat health, and more than $100 in Nature's Logic dog food. WOW!

Participants who submitted these adorable winners will be notified pronto and should reply quickly to assure their prizes can be shipped with the rest of the group. Watch for your email from EventBarkers@gmail.com, or feel free to write to us if you see this announcement and believe you are a winner.

Tommorrow we'll be featuring a photo slideshow of the pictures that were submitted. Half will appear here on All Things Dog Blog, and half will be viewable on DogTipper.com. Be sure to enjoy this show where you'll be able to see all the photos in full size. Watch for many great entries like Indy the referee and Toby the kitten, samples seen above.

We'd like to thank our Platinum Sponsor, Nature's Logic, for their generous donation to Petfinder Foundation. We also want to thank the foundation for all their support in promoting our event. They have been wonderful to work with and we're proud to have given these adoptable Petfinder animals an extra chance at finding a forever home. Perhaps our entry listings will still continue this work and more homes will be found. We did learn that Hunter, the Golden Retriever at entry number 10, found a forever home last weekend. We're so happy for Hunter and know that you all share in our joy!

Just as important, we also wish to thank you all for your participation. Without your photo entries, we would have had no contest. YOU made it happen! We look forward to seeing you again next year. If you're already contemplating your costuming options, you may want to check out the giveaway running here on All Things Dog Blog through Valentine's Day. Best wishes!

Super Dog Sunday™ is a charity event. All proceeds go directly--and in full--to Petfinder Foundation. As co-sponsors as well as hosts, DogTipper and All Things Dog Blog are participating in donations as well as donating our time and effort to produce this event. Enjoy!
