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.
