“We adopted Corinne Junior (C.J.) in the summer of 2008 from the animal shelter on New York Avenue. C.J. had been a stray, and is estimated to have been born on the day of our wedding. At first we had a hard time figuring out what to name her, but she clearly had a personality connection with Corinne, so Corinne Junior was a natural fit. Feisty, demanding, overly confident, very cute, and an unnatural ability to get into sticky situations.”
“This is Emma. Despite her peaceful demeanor, she is actually a very dangerous revolutionary. She humbly submits her riverboat headshot for the coolest pet in the hood contest, but asks that you not alert the authorities as to her whereabouts in Columbia Heights at an undisclosed location within stumbling distance from Wonderland.”
“Meet Binx. We adopted him a year ago from Puden’s Place Cat Rescue. He’s a Siamese-Manx mix, which means he has no tail, not even a little stub! His hobbies include lying on cardboard, sleeping in our lazy boy, and knocking cat toys under furniture and expecting us to fish them out.”
Ed. Note: Submissions have been closed. No more entries will be accepted at this point. Sorry for the confusion – all pets received before the deadline will be posted, of course. No NEW submissions will be accepted.
The cats are not competing against the dogs. There will be 5 dog, cat and “other” finalists that will each compete in their own category. We’ll have a poll in each category to select the winner. Using the comments section for these posts will help me select the 5 finalists for each category. You can see all the entries here. Please see after the jump for more entries. (more…)
