We are not only huge fans of pets, but we are huge fans of all New England Sports. It has become a tradition among our staff that when a New England sports team is in the finals of their series, we all sport that team's color and apparel on game days.
Sometimes even our employee's pet's get in on the action!
We thought it would be fun to open up our own tradition to our facebook fans and their pets.
We realize that a lot of our fans are from New England, but many are from all over North America, including Canada, and some from other countries as well. While we are pretty partial to the Boston Bruins in our neck of the woods, we are not excluding those pets that are fans of other NHL teams. We are running this contest to show off pets that support the entire NHL!
Starting today, when this blog appears on our facebook page, start uploading photos onto our facebook fanpage, photos of your pets in NHL attire (any team, Bruins or otherwise), or Boston Bruin team colors black and gold.
You can even get really creative and show us a picture of your cat or dog watching the game on the little or big screen in your living room! I know my cat enjoys a good hockey game with all the action, though my dog tends to sleep through most of it.
Also, your pet does not have to be a patient of Countryside to participate. Any fan of our facebook page can post their pet photos. And your pet does not have to be something we treat such as a dog, cat or exotic. For example, I've got a pony, a cow and some goats that might look pretty snazzy decked out in their favorite NHL team's attire (again that would be the Bruins, but we are not excluding other hockey fans across the nation).
Did I mention that the staff will be rooting for the Bruins. But no worries, the voting is not done by us, the voting is done by all the fans of our facebook fanpage. And cute pets are really what it is all about, not so much who your pet supports on the ice.
How it works:
1.) This blog will show up on our facebook fanpage notifying you of the contest. Obviously it already has because you are reading it now.
2.) Dress your pet(s) up in their favorite NHL team attire, or Bruins black and gold
3.) Take photos of them hanging out in their attire and/or get creative and have the bruins game on the t.v. in the background, or your dog running around the yard with a hockey stick in it's mouth, or your cat batting around a small puck-like toy in the kitchen.
4.) Upload those photos onto our facebook page anytime between the moment you see this blog post on our facebook page through the entire 2011 Stanley Cup series.
5.) We'll archive your photos into a special folder on our computer as you post them.
6.) We'll upload all of the submissions into one special voting/"liking" album at a date to be announced. It will either be during the series or when the series is complete, it depends on how many games end up being played.
7.) The album will stay up on our facebook page for voting for approximately 5 days (more specific info to come when the voting album is officially posted.)
8.) The 3 photos with the most "likes"/votes, the pet will receive a choice of one of the many designer pet collars we carry in our retail area, as well as personalized pet name tag. (Both items can be mailed to the winner anywhere in the world, so don't worry if you don't live close by!) If a winning pet does not wear a traditional collar we will work out a prize that fits your pet's needs. (for example, a bird or a cow or a reptile, etc.)
We have a ton of fun getting dressed up at the hospital, and we also take the opportunity to snack and chat with our clients in our waiting area during game days, and as employees we get to snack behind the scenes.
We love it when our favorite sports teams make the finals! We know you do too, so send us your pet(s) best NHL attire or Bruins black & gold photographs and let the Stanley Cup Finals begin!!!!
