A little clarification on voting – these are the preliminary rounds. Your comments help me a lot in selecting semifinalists for Dog, Cat, Other and Group. At this round of the selection process it is still a bit arbitrary. Though I may enlist the winners from last year to help out a bit. There will be semifinal voting (in a poll format) for every group then the winners of each category will face off for the ultimate winner. Stay tuned!

Porkchop

“She enjoys carrots, squeaking, and terrorizing LEGO farmers.”


Mia

“Mia was found as a stray six-week old puppy alongside a remote highway on an Apache Indian reservation in the Arizona desert, and is most likely a “Dogote” hybrid (Dad was a dog, Mom was a coyote). She is wonderful and sweet, and during her 13 years has lived in Guatemala, Honduras, and three states…making her the most well-traveled Apache Rez dog ever!”


Tula

“She likes it even better when I turn the water on.”

“Dear PoP,

My husband and I ran into a cat walking home from dinner tonight on Vermont Ave., between R and S streets. The cat was overly friendly, and skiddish when the cars drove by, and even jumped up on a guys car that was parked and walked over the hood to pop its head in the open window to get petted. It was starting to thunder and lightening, and the cat seemed scared but didn’t make a move to go anywhere. She just kept staying by us and rubbing our legs and flopping over to be petted between freezing when the thunder hit. It had a black collar on with a bronze little bell. But no name tag/contact. We think it was a little girl, she couldn’t have been more than 3 years. She was very sweet, and it was starting to thunderstorm and it was obvious she was lost. Eventually she sat in the divider in the street and hunkered down with its ears flat scared of the lightening. Now, a cat that is used to being outdoors would not have just stayed in the open during a thunderstorm, would not have been so friendly to everyone, and would have hightailed it home instead of sitting between traffic. So we took her over to the DC Animal Control on New York Avenue, and she is being held there under the name “Prudence.”

She was very sweet, and I really want to make sure her/his owner finds it as soon as possible. They were so full with cats at the animal control that cat carriers were stacked into the hallways.”

Frank

“I am nominating my English bulldog puppy, Frank, as the coolest dog in PoPville.”


Billie Jean

“Billie Jean returns! She’s a year older and just as awesome as ever. Just like last year, this is not at all a staged photo. She regularly jumps on my skateboard on her own. Contrary to popular belief (twitter.com/evilbilliejean) she is not at all evil. (The pet owner (me) had nothing to do with the creation of this twitter account).”

Lucy

“Lucy, our Mastiff mix from WHS, making it difficult for her Marine dad to go to work.”


Ms. Meowgi

“This is my kitten, Ms. Meowgi (named after Mr. Miagi from Karate Kid). She was found on the side of 295 in PG County surrounded by her brothers and sisters who were not as lucky as she was. She had a broken leg from presumably being hit by a car. After I adopted her, her leg had to be amputated. Now she is a happy, healthy, tripod kitten!”

Tumbleweed

“This is my beloved, somewhat shy, and slightly neurotic cat Tumbleweed! She was rescued from a shelter in New York City after the roof fell in during the summer storms of 2007. She is making her way with me up and down the east coast having lived in New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC. This photo is from soon after our move to DC last summer (she stole my hair elastic). She is described by many friends as having owl like qualities especially at night her eyes are huge!”

Olaf

“Olaf knows how to keep his cool – with an iced water bottle/Oh yeah!”


Scarlett

“This is Adams Morgan’s resident redtick coonhound Miss Scarlett O., casting her grandeur over the Shenandoah Valley. When she’s not scrambling over rocks, swimming, chasing various critters, or harassing her older brother Kirby, she can be found hanging out on the deck sunbathing.”


Kirby

“This is Miss Scarlett’s older (and very patient) brother Kirby. He enjoys going fishing, riding in the Jeep, long runs on the beach, and chasing anything that’s round, bouncy, or otherwise can be projected through the air. He can get pretty much any girl he wants with those striking green eyes . . .”


Purrsey

“This is Purrsey Cat. He’s a tiger striped Siamese.”


Angel

“Angel looking guilty with my boyfriend’s shoes nearby!”
