Pet Lovers Love Toby and Max Jewelry

Designer Sandy Comstock's inspirational jewelry is timeless. Not only are these pieces beautiful and made of allergy-free nickel, silver and platinum, they're perfect for pet lovers. So perfect, in fact, that Sandy has a section of pet lover items on her site and it appears to be growing. 


A while back when I had the opportunity to review and share some of Sandy's designs, my readers shared my thrill with these beautiful pieces of art. Now, as a sponsor of our charity photo contest, Super Dog Sunday™, Toby and Max is giving back to the community.

With their donation to Petfinder Foundation, prizes for our photo contest winners and more, we're all excited to see who wins these beautiful chains, bracelets and baubles. Lucky will be these folks who have entered the contest with photos to be reckoned with!

What? You haven't entered yet? Oh my! Oh dear! The good news is it's not too late. You can enter until 6 PM on Sunday, February 3 at kickoff time. You'll find all the details here.


What's more, Toby and Max is offering a fabulous discount in honor of our Super Dog Sunday™ event. To get this sure thing, place your order by March 31 using the Coupon Code "Super Dog" and you'll get a whopping 25% off, plus free shipping. You just can't beat that offer. Write it down on a sticky note and plaster it to your calendar to handle after you've finished reading. 

Before you head off to shop, be sure to check in at Facebook and Twitter to check in, ask your questions or see what's new. Happy shopping!


Event Barkers, a partnership of Dogtipper.com and AllThingsDogBlog.com, is working with Toby and Max to increase their product awareness. As a charitable sponsor of Super Dog Sunday™, Toby and Max is supporting Petfinder Foundation and its work with shelter animals.

Now that #SuperDogPics is behind us we're seeing a nice surge in photo entries for the photo contest hosted by your Event Barkers Team: AllThingsDogBlog.com and Dogtipper.com.  Just for fun I thought you may enjoy looking back at some of last year's pics. We had two slideshows, one on each of our sites. This one below was on Dogtipper's site, so now we get to play it here. Enjoy:

Super Dog Sunday Grand Prize!

When our Super Dog Sunday™ Cheer Team members started asking questions about all the events, entries and methods for winning prizes, I realized that it's time to get more clear. With 2 events preparing to launch during the same time frame, we've got a lot of goodies up for grabs. I hope this spells out all the ways to win our prize packages a little more clearly. I'll go through the prize packages in chronological order, aka in the order to be given away:

#SuperDogPics
PreTweet Prize
 

#SuperDogPics Twitter Party

1. PreTweet Prize is won by a drawing from Tweets pulled from Twitter using a #SuperDogPics hashtag search. You'll find suggested Tweets here and here and also here. All you have to do is hit the RT icon; it's that easy! You're welcome to enter as many unique Tweets per day, per handle, as you wish.  The PreTweet winner will be drawn 1 day early in order to allow time for the winner to be notified and to submit a photograph of their dog for illustration by @CartoonYourPets. This LIVE illustration will be a part of the #SuperDogPics party fun; join us and enjoy!
2. You're eligible to win the RSVP Prize for #SuperDogPics simply by entering your RSVP at the linky list at this post. Just follow the simple, step-by-step instructions.  One entry per Twitter handle or person. You need not be present at the party to win this prize package.
3. The #SuperDogPics Rafflecopter Prize package may also be won without attendance at the Twitter Party. Entries for this prize may be made at the Rafflecopter post linked here in the form at the bottom of the post.

4. The remainder of the prizes for #SuperDogPics will be drawn every 10 minutes throughout the party and announced by Twitter handle. The Grand Prize will be announced last. Active participants who are Tweeting and participating throughout the party will be eligible to win in these drawings.  

Super Dog Sunday™ Photo Contest Prizes

Included in Super Dog Sunday™
Grand Prize

1. The Super Dog Sunday™ PreTweet Prize is also won by a drawing from Tweets pulled from Twitter using a #SuperDogSunday hashtag search. Suggested Tweets are here and here and also here. Once again, all you have to do is hit the RT icon. You may enter as many unique Tweets per day, per handle, as you wish. Entry of a photo is not required to win the PreTweet contest.
2. The Super Dog Sunday™ Rafflecopter Prize package will be drawn from entries at the Rafflecopter form here. Rafflecopter entrants need not enter a photo in the photo contest to win this prize.
3. A Cheer Team Prize package will go to one of our Cheer Team members by Random.org drawing. We'll simply list them alphabetically and number them for the draw. I have to say that I'm sooooo excited to have this great group of ladies helping us, that I wish there was a prize for each of them. Paris and I count ourselves as very lucky to have their help. To learn more about our Cheer Team, please read my post here.
4. Five more categories will have fabulous prize packages that will be won by our photo contest winners. The categories are: 1) Cutest photo, 2) Most Original Photo, 3) Best Decked Out Pet Photo (Decked Out=photo editing done with graphics; this category is for owner's pets), 4) Best Decked Out Petfinder Adoptable Pet (for Petfinder.com adoptable entries), and 5) Best All Around Submission. This last prize is akin to a Grand Prize and the winner may be chosen by the judges from any category.

You have endless opportunities for entering photos with the addition of the Petfinder Adoptable option. While you may only enter your own pets once per pet, you may enter as many Petfinder Adoptable pets as you wish. Send entries to EventBarkers@gmail.com, making sure to include your pet's name. Additional information for Petfinder adoptables is required. Please read on...

Just to be clear, categories will be assigned by our judges and the judges' (there are two) assignments and choices are final. All Super Dog Sunday™ winners will be announced on AllThingsDogBlog.com and Dogtipper.com on Monday, February 4.

One additional request that is very important, and near and dear to my heart, is this: In order to give our Petfinder Adoptable entries some much-needed promotion, we ask that all Petfinder Decked Out submissions be sent with this information:

• The Pet's name
• The city/state where the pet is located
• The Petfinder pet's profile page url (this is imperative for location of the pet)

With this information, we will be able to promote these adoptable pets, hopefully getting them some extra views and bringing some of them home. Last year's event found homes for several of our highlighted Petfinder pets; what a joy that was to hear.

  Event Barkers is working with @ILoveMyK10, @ThingsYourDog, @TobyandMax, and Gypsy Eyes Clothing to promote their brands via #SuperDogPics Twitter Party. Many thanks also to @LifeandDog and @CartoonYourPets for their prize donations and time assisting as party experts.
Super Dog Sunday™ is 100% charitable and Event Barkers is donating its own time and labor plus prizes to help support Petfinder Foundation and their work with shelter pets. Our sponsors have donated cash and prizes for this event. Please thank them for their support: Arenus, Luv and Emma, Nature's Logic, Toby and Max, with additional prizes provided by Gypsy Eyes Clothing.
