Congrats to Our Snow Dog Photo Contest Winners!

Congrats to Wellfleet and Wilbur, our snow dog photo contest winners! We want to thank all the contestants for taking part in our snow dog photo contest on Facebook. It was a close contest and we ended up having a tie between Wellfleet and Wilbur.

Gracie had a busy night on Friday packaging her gifts for Wellfleet and Wilbur. We went by the post office this morning and dropped them off. We really hope Wellfleet and Wilbur like their prizes. Don't forget to check out our snow dog video below too. All our contestants are featured in the video.

 

Gracie's Bark thanks everyone for participating! We had a blast with the contest and are planning to hold a fun dog contest once a month. Stay tuned-in to our Facebook Page for details! 

Share Your Dog's Photo in the Snow

Since we live in New England and we just had our first major snow storm, we are asking all of you to share photos of your dog(s) having fun in the snow. We are going to let our fans vote for their favorite photo on our Facebook Page. The dog with the most votes will win a special gift from Gracie's Bark!

So please take some photos of your dog enjoying the snow and share them with us! We will extend the photo submission deadline to Monday, January 23, 2012 at midnight. Once we have all the submissions in order we will open the photos up to voting on our Facebook Page. Stay tuned-in. The photo with the most "Likes" will win! 

We've already recieved some great photos so far. Keep them coming!
