Winner - Weekly Challenge #287 Pets
Posted By: atupdate, 06-16-2014, 05:08 AM

What a great selection of entries. I loved the stories as much as the photos themselves. Thanks to everyone that entered.

Winner: Tessfully. The eye contact between the two sold me, as it tells the complete story on how Tia Maria has a long and happy life ahead of her.




Humorous Photo Award: Tied between zamke14 and scratchpaddy. Talk about once in a lifetime captures.






“Love Those Eyes” Award: There is no question that this category belongs to the cats. My favorite eyes from this challenge were entered by charliezap. I’ve never seen blue and green eyes before.




You Touched Me Award: Tied between sealonsf and Mas ttl. Both stories hit very close to home to me, as we started fostering dogs after we had to say goodbye to our long time family member, Amber.






Most Unique Entry Award: It has to be gazelle01. Cheetahs and Labs – the Columbus Zoo is a little over an hour away from me and I never heard of this before.




Aww, Cute Puppy Award: Tied between kraigg007 and DogLover. What more can I say, I like puppies.






Most ‘tude Award: Another "it has to be a cat" category and the award goes to OrchidJulie. Beau don’t read and neither will you.



Again, thanks to everyone that entered and congratulations to Tess.

Tim

Hey, Tim. Nicely done. Wondered how you were going to judge this one and having lots of different kinds of firsts is very appropriate.
Well done Tessfully and all the other special first place awardees.

Love that winning shot! Well done with the judging and thanks for the mention about our sweet Ike. He's still with us for now so we are enjoying every second.

Congratulations, Tess! This was great fun and Beau thanks you, Tim, for the accolade... but with typical cattitude, wants to know what her prize is (aside from momentary fame). I gave her some treats...

No worries, she's actually a pretty mellow cat. That expression isn't typical of her at all.
