 Today we are announcing the winners of our latest Photo Contest which ended on July 15. We will announce the Tip Contest winners tomorrow.
First of all, I would like to say that picking the winners was a nightmare! We receive so many wonderful entries that this was very, very difficult. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted photos. It was a lot of fun publishing these and I hope everyone enjoyed seeing them.
How did we pick the winners? First we selected some candidates in each category. Then our staff talked it over until we had a consensus on who should win. It took us a while but we are pleased with our picks.
Best Pet Photo
Gus In The Flowers

We got so many wonderful pet entries that it was very tough to choose a winner. The winner is Gus in The Flowers because it is a beautiful photo and a nice description. It was very difficult to choose just one. They are all adorable.
