When I heard about this blog hop from my friends at DogTipper, Two Little Cavaliers, and Life with Dogs, I knew exactly what to do with the dog-themed Christmas stocking I’d been idly knitting. Here it is:

Well, to be frank, that’s what it will look like. Mine is done down to the heel, but I promise you I’ll be finishing it over the Thanksgiving break. Isn’t it adorable?? I just love the bands of white snowflakes, red bones and green dogs. And you see that blank cream-colored band at the top? The winner will tell me their dog’s name (it can be up to 15 letters long), and I’ll stitch it in, so the stocking is personalized for your pup!

How to win

It’s easy! All you have to do to earn a chance to win is “like” Dog Jaunt on Facebook (click above), if you haven’t already, and then leave a wall post on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page (click on the “Post” button, at the top of Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page) telling me the dog’s name you will want on the stocking if you win. If you already like Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page, you can still win! Just go straight to the step where you leave a wall post with your dog’s name.

Because of shipping costs, I can only send the stocking to U.S. and Canadian (not Quebec) winners (why not Quebec? That province apparently has some stringent giveaway rules, and I don’t want to get into trouble!).

Entries will be accepted until Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 11.59 pm (EST). The winner will be chosen randomly, and I will announce who it is in a post here on Dog Jaunt and on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page on Friday, November 26th. Happy Howl-idays to all you hop-pers! (Or maybe that should be “Hoppy Howl-idays!”) Be sure to click around the other sites participating in this blog hop — there are lots of wonderful prizes out there.
