Update: Your comments have so warmed Ellen Gray's heart that she's offered a second pair of tickets to give away! I'll announce two winners Friday.Love dogs? Love sugar? And Champagne? Have I got a party for you.

Wish I had a dog to bring if I win! :)

Keep up the great work.
If my brother is going, then of course, I'm definitely going too! I love to give kissies and I love to dress up! I already know what I'm going to wear! -Ella Laetitia Perera, 4-yr old maltese pup
I'm ok with being proven wrong.

- Yes, dogs are welcome. And many dress up.
- And yes, sweets (especially chocolate, a big NO-NO!) and dogs are not a good mix, which is why some doggie bakeries are always on hand to supply appropriate treats.
- The VIP tickets do include admission to the whole event.
Love to see the interest! You readers are great.
We went last year with our 2 rescue dogs and they had a blast. We decided that tickets aren't in this year's budget - but I'd still love to attend if we're chosen.
Thanks for your consideration!
Thank you Metrocurean for bringing attention to such a great and important cause :)
I've volunteered at it before and it's awesome. If you can't go, you can always become a WHS volunteer and work this event, and many other fabulous ones, after you're trained!
I just moved to the area and came across your food blog and---well done! I'm new to food blogging but I'd love suggestions! www.andbemerry.blogspot.com
Thanks for announcing this giveaway!
