BlogPaws helps pet bloggers and enthusiasts connect digitally, build their online presence, enhance their social networks and give back to the community. Members of the BlogPaws Community had just over a month to submit entries, which were judged on blogging experience, blog originality and creativity, vision and future blog plan, and ability to participate in the grand prize. Ten finalists were selected by a panel of judges from PetSmart and BlogPaws and three guest bloggers. Finalists then submitted a two-minute video explaining why they should win. The two grand prize winners are: Colby Morita of Puppy in Training (http://www.puppyintraining.com) and Annette Vivian of Snoopy’s Dog Blog (http://www.snoopysdogblog.com).
