Congratulations
to TOPTHIRTY PICTURES of
our two photo contests! Selecting only thirty pictures from more than
900 entries (no, really) was a very difficult task. The below pictures
are our office favorites whose merits were discussed at length!
Virtually everyone who submitted entries had two or three outstanding
shots, and with great regret we were forced to relegate many outstanding
pictures to the new Photo Gallery
(Honorable mentions!) as we reached for a consensus on the runners-up.
Congratulations to all and a hearty thank you to all who participated!

My Name: Abby Tiny Lady
BFF: A.P. Corona "I was the second baby in a litter of three. My brother and sister were very robust and healthy looking, while I was puny and too small. But at four months, my new Mom and Dad came to get me because I had grown to one and one-half pounds! Big enough to go with my own family! I am five yr old now and weigh 2.5 pounds. I love summertime. I enjoy floating in the pool and lying around in my hammock. I just love being me! I also enjoy all of the pretty flowers that grow in the summer. They really taste good!!" 1102 Votes |

We walk everywhere - to the dog run, the parks, a great Min Pin Meet Up at Washington Square Park and to any street festival going on in the neighborhood. There is a special dog place where I can swim in a pool every week. The best part of the City is that there are so many dog friendly places; Mom can take me almost everywhere! Mom took this picture of me during a calm moment on the roofdeck watching the sunset. A rare and tranquil moment that we shared during a hot summer evening." 1062 Votes |
