Scheduling out prizes for the upcoming  #BarkFriday Twitter Party has been so much fun. We have 6 wonderful sponsors who have given generously to get the word out about their products. And that's what I'm about to do. I get the pleasure of doing an RSVP drawing today. Sound like a foreign language? Not to worry.

Our Twitter Party has an RSVP sign up here. Everyone who has signed up as of right now gets a chance at this prize: A Flash Gordon Tag of their choice in the antique bronze finish and 2 bags of Dog Pack Snacks from an assortment sent to us by Deb and Coco, the Dog Pack Snacks team.

The Flash Gordon Tags are made of heavy duty durable metal that are meant to last. This is not your typical $10 petstore tag! They have a variety of designs to select from and the 3 dimensional tags have such unique appeal. Go take a look. You'll enjoy shopping. I've shared 2 images here, but there are many more on the website.

I'll get Tanner and Oliver's advice on selecting flavors from the Dog Pack Snacks assortment for our winner. My boys do consider themselves the resident experts. Deb and Coco make the treats themselves and they are impressive, with that homemade look and apparent delicious taste. Tanner and Oliver have yet to turn one down. We'll be sharing assorted flavors throughout the #BarkFriday events, so keep watching. Today's winner is RSVP number 33: @cdmtx65. She's a lucky lady who will have a happy pup and a beautiful tag to identify her Fido. I'll be in touch with this winner for her shipping details.

In your packages you will be finding another surprise. With football season upon us, we're getting ready for Super Dog Sunday on February 5th. While NFL football fans are all glued to the TV, we'll be running a photo contest here on the blog, as well as raising funds for Petfinder, the forerunner in pet adoption search. 

Last year's contest brought 72 of you here to provide pics of your pups in awesome Football-themed scenes. It was a blast. This year I'll be kicking it up a notch. I plan to include new features, prizes and a bit of a bump for Petfinder's funding. So when you find the football prop in your box, be sure to take a picture of your Fido with it. Send it in to me for posting as a part of our Super Dog Sunday photo blog hop on February 5, 2012. Watch for more info and opportunities to participate, as they become available throughout Fall.

Can I ask for a treat too? Please send photos of your pups enjoying their treat prizes. I'll include bandanas in the packages to those of you who have not received them previously. Don't forget to wear them in the pictures. Your pup may just get a cover dog job on the blog one day. Thanks much!
