(9,560 posts)my tree farm which got sabotaged, I might have voted for the tiger or the raptor
my righteous self, I might have voted for the great ape and his sidelong glance
the 5 packs of stray dogs not to mention over 20 cats in my walking routes, they might have got the vote.
I voted for Senorita in honor of my friend who carried a stillborn to term.

(156,520 posts)I'm sorry you hate the finals, but I understand missing the ones that didn't make it, that you loved.
We all have favorites and sometimes they get left behind. That's how it is with contests.

(22,480 posts)So then I have to choose which is my most favoritest!
That can be really hard, and this time was no exception. But it was still fun.

(8,910 posts)You just made me realize I'm not a masochist. I'm about three years old. Possibly two. Whatever my mental age, I adore the contests, and all who contribute to them. Thanks!

(29,769 posts)They had never had any contact/experience with a cat, I visited and taught the kids how to play with him. Kiddy was instantly engaged with my gentle roughhousing and he and I played like that every time I came over, we were buddies. He was both cool and doglike-connected. This shot was taken when I was cat sitting for him over New Years some years ago, had the luxury to catch that quiet moment of serenity, followed of course by little snuggles with him. He just passed away last month so I was happy to see the contest topic this month would include him. May be the only time I ever submitted a photo(?). Very glad for your feeling it, planetc. He was so very loved.
(Congrats go out to the others finalists and appreciation to everyone who entered, I loved the other photos too! And thanks to Peggy for great hosting.

(8,910 posts)was going to drop its Zen contemplation and break into a Cheshire Cat grin. Oh, and Kiddy reminds me of Yoda, too. Infinitely knowing. Thank you for catching that face for posterity.

(589 posts)I picked A Picture of a DOG???
just because it the eyes of a person, a dog and a cat.
And I liked the self-reference of a pic within a pic.
Well done to all the artists!

(28,705 posts)I chose the eagle, "You talking to me?"
But I loved Hello kitty, and am partial to the gator's face wondering where he put his glasses. I mean, what a face, lol, he is dumbfounded!
The puppy with all the socks is a treat.
