Connect with a brand new Apple iPad 2 just by connecting with other pet lovers!

To celebrate the launch of our new name and features, ConnectedByPets.com (that's us!) will be giving three lucky site users a brand new iPad2 with a retail value of $499!

Every month for the next three months, we'll select a winner at random from our users who have posted a status update to our network at ConnectedByPets.com. Each status update counts as a new entry, and you can enter as many times as you wish (see restrictions and qualifications below).

Updates need to be posted by users who have uploaded an image and filled out the primary animal interests section of their Connected By Pets user profile to be eligible. (If you already have a PetHobbyist.com username and password, just use those to log in; if not, register here first -- it's free!)

With WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, 16GB of storage, and an HD video camera, the iPad 2 can surf the web for 10 hours, and run thousands of apps, MP3s and videos. You can even use it to update your status on Connected By Pets!

Log in today, post a status update, and enter to win! Just be sure to read the rules before entering!
