We would like to send out our heartfelt thanks the overwhelming number of Bay Area supporters. Thank You to all those who:

Voted for their favorite dog house. More than 800 votes were collected and tallied! Click here for results
Bid on Items. To the non-winners: Thank You for participating. Your bid drove the price higher. To the winners: Congratulations! We hope you enjoy your new purchase. The dog houses are solidly built, the food at sponsoring restaurants, is great (we tried them all before asking for certificates!), the photographers are true artists. We won one of the sessions, as well, and are looking forward to immortalizing our family. Tahoe in the summer is great! Water sports and golf are two of the many activites we enjoy out there
Squeezed a creative dog house idea out of thin air. The pioneering builders who took a chance on us, in this, our very first year of the Extreme Dog House Challenge. We were one of the top highlights of the Home & Garden Show thanks to your creative ideas and skill
Sponsored our Silent Auction, Raffle, and Guessing Game - the photographers, restaurants, pet boutiques, pet food maker, Yvonne Covello (who's home, in Tahoe, fetched the highest overall bid!).
