The ‘howliday’ season is here — spread the cheer by sharing your pet’s best holiday photo!

THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE, and there’s no one who enjoys them more than our beloved pets!

They love showing off their reindeer horns, Santa hats, bad doggie Christmas sweaters and candy cane-shaped chew toys!

Peninsula Daily News, Forks Forum and Sequim Gazette have come together to host this year’s Holiday Pet Photo Contest.

Give us your best shot of a festive furry friend and compete for some great prizes!

Wilder Auto in Port Angeles has provided our first-prize gift, a Seahawks-themed dog bed with additional dog goodies. PLUS acrylic cup with Reese’s candy, dog Seahawk sweater, beef jerky, dog toy, water/food bowl, travel pet water bottle, car harness and travel pad.

McPhee’s Grocery, Papa Murphy’s Pizza and Fiesta Jalisco restaurant (all in Port Angeles) have all supplied $25 gift certificates.
