Levenhagen Photography's Puptastic Contest! (in Memory of Dewy)

I am holding this contest in memory of my big cuddle bear, Dewy (the yellow husky/lab mix pup shown in the photo). Dewy was 12 years old when we had to let him go. He lived a fun, adventurous, loving, daring life. August 24th, 2011 was the day that we sent Dewy to doggy heaven. He was in a lot of pain and just wasn't living life how he used to and how he deserved to. He leaves behind his furry brother T.K. (10 years old), a little human sister and a little human brother along with myself and my husband. He was for sure a loved dog. Loved by MANY people and has touched so many lives.

For the last year or so, as Dewy slowly became weaker, I kept saying that I wanted to make sure I got a family picture with him before it was "too late". Well, the morning came that we knew we would be taking him to the vet and not bringing him home. I couldn't have kicked myself harder. I scooped my kids and T.K. out of bed and gathered everyone up for a quick photo. I am glad I at least had this opportunity; I would have been more upset with myself had Dewy left this world in a more sudden manner.

So I am holding this contest, in Dewy's honor, to celebrate man's (and woman's!) best friends. One lucky pup is going to win all of the items listed below (from some very generous sponsors!) including a mini-session with a free 5x7 portrait (and goody bag) from yours truly.

So here are the rules.

Complete these steps between September 8th - September 15th 2011

1. "LIKE" Levenhagen Photography along with every other vendor listed below. Although it's not a requirement, showing love and thanking the vendors for participating is a much appreciated gesture.
2. Upload a photo of your pooch(es) to my wall at Levenhagen Photography. Include his/her name, gender and age. Each person may upload only ONE image - but that image may include multiple pups.
3. Friend request me (Tiffany Levenhagen) so that I can monitor your activity and tag you in your submitted image. I will need to verify that you have completed all the steps and cannot do so unless you are a friend. Once the contest is complete and the winner has been finalized, you may remove me from your friend list!
