Nominations for DU Lounge "Pet of the Year"

[StopTheMorans]

Post your nominations here (pics if possible), and tell us why your pet is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO special and SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better/cuter/more intelligent/better smelling than everyone else's pet. In order to create an even playing field, ONLY DUer's pets may apply. If this can't start a flamewar; I don't know what can :evilgrin:

[Lavender Brown]

1. That has to be Mr. Peebles

The world's smallest cat. For a while there, there were about 10 threads a day about him. And he WAS awful cute. :)

[StopTheMorans]

2. damn it, you just might have killed my thread with one post:)

:argh:

[Lavender Brown]

3. Sorry - I'm a skilled threadkiller

[StopTheMorans]

7. well, that's the kiss of death then...

i'm an experienced 0-post getter when I start a thread; this one should be on page 7 in no time:)

[Ima]

5. Who is Mr Peebles?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. I nominate the cat that pisses behind Lynne's entertainment center

[underpants]

6. This one is very cute (I'm told) and pettable

[donheld]

[Skinner]

[Phillycat]

Wookadababy!!! Precious little guy.

[radwriter0555]

70. That's a HELLUVA set of ears, sir...

Elad looks like he came in for a landing ala DUMBO.

[donheld]

77. That is a sweety

:hug:

[motely36]

12. The little white kitten I see all time

I can't remember the name.

[Beware the Beast Man]

13. Mr. Peebles, most definitely!

[billyskank]

14. I nominate

that dude, can't remember his name, but he has a really handsome cat called Mischief. I nominate him!

[Spinzonner]

15. Do you have Bob Guccione's permission for this ?

he probably has that title trademarked.

[StopTheMorans]

18. oh yeah, Bob and I are tight

no need to worry there;)

[-..__...]

16. Lurch.

http://www.rockyridgerefuge.com

Guiness record for largest horn circumference (37.5").

[StopTheMorans]

20. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww,

he's so cute!

[ET Awful]

21. He could be a great marketing gimmick for Excedrin,

Those things have got to cause one hell of a headache :)

[Kat45]

17. There's my sweet little parrotlet, Grace.

She's smart, adorable, fun, feisty--four inches of cute! You should hear her go nuts when someone makes a crunching sound with a plastic bag!

Since this is DU, I'm sure a cat will win, but I still want to put in a nomination for my adorable bird. :-) Just look at this picture....

[vptpt]

32. I have to admit

That is a pretty bird. She looks like she's smiling.

[StopTheMorans]

34. awwwwwwwwwwww, she's adorable Marian!

:)

[ET Awful]

39. She is cute :)

I like birds too, I just don't think my fuzzballs would get along with a feathered friend too well :)

[ET Awful]

19. Quinn DAMMIT!

No explanation needed, everybody loves Quinn.

And I think Peebles should be eliminated and only animals that actually live with DU'ers should be eligible :)

[StopTheMorans]

22. even though this is a copycat thread, it would be more "flame-a-licious"

so I'll edit accordingly :evilgrin:

[Lavender Brown]

23. Eliminated?!

:cry: ;)

[StopTheMorans]

25. pics may still be posted, but the nominations cannot be accepted

how's that for a compromise? :shrug:

[ET Awful]

26. Oh, don't get me wrong Peebles is indeed worthy, he's just

not a DU pet, he's a DU admired pet, and there's a difference :)

I'm sure Quinn will be happy to share the large mounds of food that will be awarded to the winner though :)

[Lavender Brown]

31. I though you were advocating having Peebles knocked off

Like in that Lifetime movie where the mother of one Miss America contestant tries to kill off her daughter's rival... ;)

[ET Awful]

36. Hell no, he's to cute to deserve that, I meant disqualified, just a poor

choice of words.

[Lavender Brown]

38. Whew!

(I was just kidding).

[motely36]

24. That's the kitten I meant

I just love him!!!!!!!!

[Jessica]

27. How adorable! You're right - I do love Quinn!

I'm with you janesez ... resorting to insane baby talk. Fuzzy wittle face.

[Bouncy Ball]

55. I second the nomination for Quinn

I've loved him since you first posted his pic here.

He makes me just want to rub his furry body up against my face and purr at him. Though I know he's no longer a kitten.

[SoCalDem]

79. Admittedly the cutest KITTEN..but he grew up

and is not as "fluffy"..:evilgrin:

and Marvin has always been ugly..:)

[matcom]

28. it HAS to be the peeing wonder pug!

[StopTheMorans]

42. I thought he moved to DC

[TlalocW]

29. Zowie the Tube Rat!

I'll bite you if you don't vote for me!



Or I'll steal your shoes! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

TlalocW

[ET Awful]

35. I love ferrets :)

I still have to vote for my little furball, but I'll give some moral support to the weasel :)

[underpants]

30. JASPER!!!

:bounce:

[matcom]

33. bitch

x(

[Beaverhausen]

37. Where's Oberon?

he is one amazing cat!

[ET Awful]

41. Indeed, no DU pet thread is complete without Oberon and Puck :)

and they really need to be combined as a single entry :) . . OberPuck :)

[Bertha Venation]

40. Skittles the Tortoiseshell Kitten

:bounce:

[ET Awful]

43. Yeah, if you don't vote for Skittles, she'll kick your ass :) n/t

[Bertha Venation]

48. You win the $5,000 and the rest of your clothes!

Great answer!

[StopTheMorans]

64. hey, this is my thread, i declare the winners damn it

:spank:

[XNASA]

44. Fluffytail the Tuxedo Cat

He Loves You!!!!

[ET Awful]

45. Purrrrrr! n/t

[Bertha Venation]

50. nooooo! too cute! make it stop! AAAAHHHHHHHH

too much cuteness

Fluffytail would think he was looking into a mirror if he ever saw Cocoa, a.k.a. Wenchzilla

[XNASA]

52. It's amazing how much Fluffytail and Cocoa look alike.

The only real difference I can see, or rather can't see, is that FT's right rear leg is ringed B&W, but his left rear leg is not.

Oh, and, FT has a black goatee.

[flamingyouth]

46. Papa sends his holiday greetings

[ronnykmarshall]

47. I have to nominate two

Cosmo and Ricco are brothers and they came into our lives just when we needed them the most. Mickey our other cat had died a month prior and we were not looking for new cats.

We had said that we wanted two cats, same litter, one tabby and one black.

When we didn't expect it, there they were. Just waiting to be adopted and loved. It was a gift from Mickey.

[guitar man]

49. China

My little one here, likes to bark at the TV anytime animals are on the screen. I've got her where she goes off on the *Chimp sometimes too.

[StopTheMorans]

51. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, a *-hating dog!

[jonnyblitz]

53. i thought this was gonna be another sex thread

"pet of the year" etc.... wasn't aware you meant "literal" pet. erps. :crazy:

[StopTheMorans]

80. none of that in here; Skinner already posted on this thread!

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh;)

[guitar man]

54. Birdie

The big one of the herd. Hates my RW fundie brother-in-law, he's scared to death of her. :evilgrin:

[StopTheMorans]

65. awwwwwwwwwwwww, another fundie-hater

that's so cute!

[Amaya]

56. Don't have a pet

but I'd like nominate Matcoms ugly pug :evilgrin:

[StopTheMorans]

61. already been nominated, but you can second the motion:)

[Bouncy Ball]

57. I've taught my dog to

growl and bare her teeth whenever we say the word "bush." I'm not kidding. Did it with treats. She looks totally vicious when you say it.

One night my husband and I were discussing bush and bitching about him and our dog was under the bed and we just heard this horrific growling and I laughed, realizing she was just growling because we INVOKED THE NAME.

Her name is Rosie.

[StopTheMorans]

67. do you have any pics?

she sure sounds like a special animal :evilgrin:

[Bouncy Ball]

72. No unfortunately

she is terrified of the camera for some reason. She acts like you are pointing a gun at her. She's a Benji-looking dog (remember those movies) and her big white teeth look great when she bares them at the very mention of ITS name.

[StopTheMorans]

73. good enough; we'll accept that

:)

[Liberal Veteran]

58. If you don't vote for Logan.....

...he will disintegrate you with his laser vision!

[StopTheMorans]

68. I think his laser-vision is on the fritz; I'm still here

:shrug:

[welshTerrier2]

59. Penny

check out her pic here ==> http://www.lvm.org/thepup.aspx

she's a self-confessed nose licker ... and they just don't make 'em any sweeter ...

[Beaverhausen]

60. How'd this get on the second page?

[StopTheMorans]

63. i had to drive home from work

:)

[dubyaD40web]

62. "Pepper" my pomerainian sp?

She's a big KC Chiefs fan and does the "Chiefs-chop"

[StopTheMorans]

66. well, we do accept all types here, even Chiefs fans

nomination accepted :evilgrin:

[musette_sf]

69. I am rather new, but must nominate Cleo

as the most special, better, cuter, more intelligent and yes, better smelling pet. At least in our world. She is one of the only creatures who could make me smile on November 3.

She is a rescue, along with her three brothers, found at about one week old. We bottle fed them and brought them up by hand. They all survived. (We kept them all, too.)

Cleo understands some abstract concepts. One memorable moment was watching her use a mirror on the wall to stalk one of her brothers surreptitiously, then turning around and pouncing at the opportune moment.

Likes: lounging in bed; bathroom activities; getting creamy white tummy rubbed and kissed (that's how I know she smells good); chasing mousie toys; eating Wellness crunchies.

Cleo lounging in bed:

Cleo the Mighty Huntress:

I'm coming for ya, Ashcroft!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

71. Lilo and Stitch could use the self-esteem boost.

They never got their figures back after the spay.

[graywarrior]

74. I nominate my attitude toward red voters

http://www.mycathatesyou.com/cats/2004/11/8

[SoCalDem]

75. Hands down.... Starvin' Marvin

The bottle baby..........Marvin sez "hey"........Dude...he's dozin on my Dell.

Marvin..hangin' out with Evil Uncle Willie

Napping with Sara

Couch Potato Marvin

Marvin found the girl of his dreams (yes he's fixed, but he still humps the stuffed kitty

[StopTheMorans]

78. awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, he's humping the stuffed kitty!

ACCEPTED!

[hatredisnotavalue]

81. Beat this!!!

[StopTheMorans]

82. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

*faints*

[MissMillie]

83. Millie!!!! Of Course!!!

Mr. Peebles is cute, but he doesn't actually belong to a DUer, does he?

Millie, on the other hand, not only belongs to a DUer (me), she's the inspiration for a DUer's screen name, AND she often sits on my lap as I'm posting and reading posts.

Millie LOVES DU!!!

[KamaAina]

84. What about my yaks, Al and Randi?

Get it? 'Cause they "yak"?



Oh, all right, they're not actually living with me; I can't get 'em out of Tibet 'cause of the silly quarantine laws here... :-)
