I've obviously missed something!

Thanks for the selection of Pippin as the winner, and I don't have a problem with the photo-manipulation.

Aster I think you do a good job in trying to encourage an active community here (I must admit I've been slacking lateley due to work and family life) and long may it continue.

Best wishes to you and yours for the coming festive season.

Congratulations to all the winners and especially to Paul for a great picture of Pippin. At the risk of being repetitive; how could you not love a face like that? A special thanks to Yildiz for her work in making this challenge fun.

We had to put our yorkie blue down last night. It was a really tough thing to do. He was 14.5 and was in congestive heart failure. He could barley breath anymore, and passed out on us a couple of times yesterday. RIP Mr Blue.

Give all your puppies and kitties an extra rub today for us.

Sorry to hear that, Lonnie, I know how hard it is to lose a long term pet.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Lonnie.

Sometimes it's hard being a 'friend' to such vulnerable creatures; the responsibility has its toll.

Hope you find a new pet friend to fill the void he left behind and to give yet an other little one a loving home .

Lonnie, time to concentrate on your near-future baby (4 months, I guess?)

Hi Lonnie - sorry to hear about Blue. That is a really nice picture - I'm sure you will have some great shots through which to bring back happy memories of Blue.
