Reader Pet Pics For the second year in a row, we asked you, our trusted and loyal readers, to send us photos of your pets. And you certainly didn't disappoint. We honestly were a little worried. I mean, what if we got the same photos and pets all over again? Boy, were we wrong. Not only did we receive almost triple the amount of photos as last year, but we had pretty much an entire new crop of photogenic pets to pick from. Proof yet again that we aren't the only obsessive pet owners in town. We even got some added variety this year—including a few chickens (thanks to that backyard chicken ordinance we assume) and reptiles. Of course, some of you went a little overboard, sending us dozens of photos of your pet in various outfits and locations. While we love and can totally relate to that level of enthusiasm, we had to edit them down and limit it to one photo per pet. You understand, right? If you sent in a photo and don't see it, it's probably because something was a little off with the photo quality (too small, too blurry, too dark, too much blanket, not enough puppy...). So if your pet didn't make the cut, just brush up on your photography skills, turn the light on, step out of the photo, and try again next year. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to email us. Believe us when we say, our second annual Pet Issue wouldn't have happened without you and your submissions. Check out this photo of our cover dog Max as a puppy. Cute, right? We know his owner Randy Maxwell agrees.
