VOTING FOR SNUGGLE BULL OF THE YEAR

Voting Round One Beginning Tomorrow, July 3rd
  The first round of Voting will begin tomorrow, July 3rd and will remain open until July 7th at Midnight.  (I am purposely keeping it open for a while in light of the Fourth of July Holiday.  This way if someone is on Vacation, they won't miss their opportunity to vote in the first round.)  The first round of voting closes on Thursday the 7th at midnight, any votes after this time will be removed.  (Different Time Zones will be considered for this round only.)

  
  You are able to vote for 3 dogs, but please only 3.  If a person votes for more than 3, I will have to remove their last vote. The first round of voting will eliminate all but three Contestants.  The three contestants with the most votes will be the final three, who will then move on to the second round of Voting. 


 Voting Round Two Begins July 8th
The second round of Voting will begin on July 8th between 8 and 10am Eastern and will remain open until July 12th at Noon Eastern Time.  Unfortunately, any votes placed after this time will be removed, so please be sure to get your vote in before Noon, July 12th!


This will be the final round of  voting, and will determine the final Snuggle Bull of the Year Winner!
There will be 3 Contestants (previously Featured Snuggle Bulls) to choose from, but you may only vote for just 1.  If a person votes for more than 1, I will have to remove their last vote.  

The Snuggle Bull of the Year Winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 12th!
