RETURNING FOR 2024!!
The 2022 PEANUT BUTTER LICK CONTEST was a success!
Have you seen the viral videos where the dog licks peanut butter off the parent's head? NOW ITS YOUR CHANCE to see if your dog has the fastest licker in the West! Each parent will wrap their head in saran wrap, the officials will place the exact same amount of peanut butter on the head of each parent and when we say GO! your dog starts licking! Whichever dog cleans their parent's head first is the winner!
Back by popular demand!
2024 WEEN HOLDING CONTEST!
We've all watched the Stein Holding contests... well, imagine the same thing, only on your knees, holding your Wiener (dog)!
