Her favorite thing to do is sit in the yard and wait for other dogs to pass by and play.

To submit your own pet photo send an email to [email protected] with a photo of your pet, their name, age, and something fun/interesting about them. Stephanie Harris I wanted to share a pet story! This is my late cat Camden. He was known far and wide for his poor attitude and tendencies towards violence. I took this photo of him with this amazing face and (long story short), it found it’s way to the internet. He has been published in bad cat calendars and been in several viral memes that have been shared across social media. His most famous appearances were when comedian Ricky Gervais started Tweeting out photos of himself and internet cats – and featured them on talk shows and interviews. So my cat was on Ellen, Conan, and as you can see in the corner of the photo, on CNN. Camden passed away several years ago, but his legacy of crankiness lives on –on the Internet - and it makes me smile when I see his meme circulating (see below).  Angie Novak Meet Nyx and her emotional support puppy Nico. Nyx is a 4-year-old cardigan welsh corgi. In 2022 she lost her 2 older corgi brothers and had a very difficult time adjusting to her new life as an only child. Queue Nico, the pembroke welsh corgi. The 2 of them are the best of friends who are living their best lives and are OBSESSED with swimming. Seriously though, it’s unnatural how much they love to swim. But we can’t deny they get whatever they want because they are perfect. Executive Committee Highlights
