    Cuteness.

    Might be going into cardiac arrest over the cuteness.

    Have I mentioned the cuteness?

    Wow! I wonder how many takes it took to get that photo! Well, now that I think about it, cameras have really evolved since I’ve used them, so it probably wasn’t as hard as I’m making it out to be with shutter-shots or something like that, right?

    Nonetheless — I hope you win the competition!

    With Love and Gratitude,

    “A hospital? What is it?”

    “It’s a big building with sick people in it. But that’s not important now ….”

    So many [technically] lame jokes BUT SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

    I stoated for Otto. Any pup worthy of “Airplane” HT and comments is worth my vote.

    Surely, Shirley.

    Now maybe it’s because I have a hankering to watch Black Swan again, but I see picture #1 and want to exclaim “I’m the Swan Queen!” in a doofy voice.

    I tried to vote for Otto on the site, but I can’t figure it out. I DID however figure out that among all the Matt S’s in the contest, Matt Shallenberger is the right Matt S. (Cool stuff, Matt.) Anyways, I’m gonna spend about another 3 mins trying to figure out how to vote before I give up…

    I know I’m a little late suggesting this ,but can somebody do a page on airborne animals-Please? Hoverball Cat, flying Dog, etc.,etc…. no birds ,bats or insects necessarilly included. Afterall ,they are all frequent fliers to begin with. Think about it ,Okay?
