PhilaPets.com Newsletter: December 2005

Happy Holidays!

Deirdre, Zeth, and all of the PhilaPets.com Pet Care Specialists want to wish you and your pets a safe and happy holiday season.

A Present for You!

Included in this month's newsletter are some important holiday safety tips for your pets, updated information on the calendar contest, an introduction to our new manager, a peek at our new logo, and much more. Enjoy!

Calendar Contest

With over 60 entries, it was very difficult to narrow it down to just 12 pets! But it had to be done and we had our family and friends help. The calendars have been ordered and are being printed right now. We should have them back before the end of the year. The list of winners, pictures of all entries, along with ordering information will be posted on the web site January 1st, 2006. Below is a sneak peak of the cover. Congratulations go out to our covergirl, Hazel, the rough coat Jack Russell Terrier (photo taken by Krista Milito).

This logo will be added to all of our documentation, calendars, notepads, magnets, sweatshirts, and much more.
