| BABY MY DOG BABY IS A LOVING AND ENERGETIC AND ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. SHE IS VERY SMART AND A FAST LEARNER, WHO THINKS SHE IS A FIVE POUND LAP DOG. LAST SUMMER SHE LEARNED HOW TO CLIMB A SIX FOOT LADDER. I WAS WORKING OUTSIDE, AND SHE WAS SO INTERESTED IN WHAT I WAS DOING THAT I CLIMBED DOWN THE LADDER AND TOLD HER TO “COME ON” AND UP SHE WENT. SHE CLIMBED ONTO THE SHED AND JUMPED DOWN AND BACK UP SHE WENT. SHE LOVED IT SO MUCH THAT NOW YOU HAVE TO TELL HER “NO” TO KEEP HER FROM CLIMBING IT. |
| BOB MY NAME IS BOB AND I WAS BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP. MY OWNER TOOK SPECIAL CARE OF ME AND HAD MY DEFORMITY SURGICALLY REPAIRED. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE GOT SICK WITH CANCER AND DIED IN 2002. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE ADOPTED . THEN SHE GOT SICK WITH CANCER AND DIED IN 2007. WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED AT MY THIRD HOME, I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME HIDING UNDER THE BED. I HAVE ENDURED MANY UNCERTAINTIES IN MY 14 YEARS. I CANNOT SEE VERY WELL AND HAVE LOST MOST OF MY TEETH BUT I DO MY VERY BEST TO EXPRESS LOVE AND GRATITUDE TO MY NEW FAMILY FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE. |
| HEFNER WHY DOES OUR FAMILY BUNNY HEFNER DESERVE PET OF THE YEAR. THIS PAST YEAR HEFNER CAUGHT A HORRIBLE VIRUS. HE COULDN’T WALK WITHOUT FALLING OVER. HE FELL JUST SITTING THERE. THE SIMPLEST THINGS WERE A STRUGGLE FOR HIM. I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU THE PAIN WE WENT THROUGH, WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE HIM. THROUGH ALL THE SHOTS AND MEDICATION HE CONTINUED TO TRY AND BE PART OF THE FAMILY. HE WOULD FALL AND DRAG HIMSELF JUST TO COME AND SAY HI AND GET SOME ATTENTION. HE NEVER GAVE AN ATTITUDE OR TRIED TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR BEST FRIEND. BUT WE THINK HE DESERVES PET OF THE DECADE. HEFNER 6.5 YEARS OLD MINI REX AND NETHERLANDS DWARF LITTER TRAINED DEMANDS ATTENTION REFUSES TO LEAVE THE CARPET (SPOILED) |
| POKY ROSE POKY IS THE MOST LOVING, WELL BEHAVED AND CUTEST PUPPY I’VE EVER KNOWN. POKY LOVES TO “KISS KISS” MOMMY. HE LOVES TO GO “BYE BYE” WITH MOMMY. HE GOES ALMOST EVERY WHERE MOMMY GOES IN HIS FRONT POUCH CARRIER THAT ALLOWS HIM TO SEE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. THERE’S MANY COMMENTS DURING POKY’S OUTING FROM MANY PEOPLE: “OH HE’S SO CUTE” “CAN I PET HIM” “HE’S SO WELL BEHAVED” “WHAT’S HIS NAME” “HE’S SO PRECIOUS” CHILDREN GIGGLE…”MOMMY LOOK A REAL PUPPY” POKY IS A REAL JOY AND A TRUE BLESSING FROM GOD. |
| SKIPPY SKIPPY WEIGHED 3 LBS WHEN GRANDMA GOT HIM. I GO DOWN TO GRANDMAS EVERY MORNING AND AFTER SCHOOL, SO I FEEL I AM PART OWNER. WHEN GRANDMA GOES AWAY I TAKE CARE OF HIM. SINCE I LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND THERE IS NO ONE TO PLAY WITH, I DRESS HIM UP IN DOLL CLOTHES AND PUT HIM IN A DOLL CARRIER. IN THE WINTER WE PLAY IN THE SNOW AND RIDE A SLED. DURING THE WINTER WE FOUND A SMALL KITTEN. THE KITTEN WAS VERY SICK, BUT WITH THE HELP OF G.P.A.C. WE TOOK HIM TO THE VET. SKIPPY SLEPT WITH HIM TO KEEP HIM WARM. SKIPPY AND THE KITTEN PLAY AND SLEEPS TOGETHER. THIS IS WHY I THINK SKIPPY DESERVES “PET OF THE YEAR”, HE IS A SMALL DOG WITH A BIG HEART. |
