Winners from our Birthday!

Hello All!

Today is another segment in my line of "I'm so behind it's not funny" blog posts. At our birthday party last Saturday there were lots of contests and prizes given away, not only by us but by the vendors in attendance as well. So I just wanted to congratulate all the winners and share who they are and what they won here.

Donna F. won 2 free pet visits from Sue Blumenfeld, The Errand Girl. Sue runs an awesome business for busy people. She'll do anything from renewing your tags to mailing your packages to grocery shopping!

Angela M. won a free grooming from Aussie Pet Mobile. Melvin and Viviana from Aussie Pet Mobile bring the grooming to you in their mobile pet unit - no more driving to the groomer! They service the entire Northwest Arkansas area. Melvin is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met - he's full of information on everything from dental health to how nutrtion affects your dog's coat.

The NWA K-9 Disc Club awarded three prizes - 1st prize of discs, a leash, a collar and a leash holder went to Claudia H., 2nd prize went to Viviara P. and 3rd Prize went to Dale T. Matt Srum is the president of the NWA K-9 Disc Club and he has done a fantastic job organizing and building this organization. If you're interested in teaching your dog to play disc, check out his website.

The winner of our Biggest Wag contest was Paul K. or rather his dog, Jeff Smith. Jeff Smith was a rescue from a backyard breeder. He came to Paul is terrible shape, in need of food and attention, but now he is a wonderful success story. He wagged so hard he wagged not only his tail but his head. They won a gift basket worth $90.

Rachel Sloan of Rachel Sloan Photography also captured Cary giving Paul the gift basket and lots of other great photos of our event which you can view on her website.

Finally, the winners of our year of Free Treats Contest were Margaret Choffel and her dogs, Lillian and Stella. They were voted winners by our fantastic customers!
