Meet Our 3rd Annual Pet Photo Contest Winners

Meet Our 3rd Annual Pet Photo Contest Winners

Meet Zoey the Pitbull aka “Zozo” or “Z”

Facebook Favorite

Age: 6

Owners: Korissa and Chad Schlanger of Cumru Township

Favorite way to spend the day? Bathing in the sunshine, taking walks with my two brothers, and going for car rides.

Favorite toy or accessory? When I was a baby, my parents had a blanket made for me with my name on it. I still use the same blanket six years later!

The tastiest of treats is: Marrow bones from the market and Frosty Paws. Yum!

I'm most famous for: Being the friendliest dog in my neighborhood. When I walk down the street, everybody knows me!

If I had a job, I'd be a: Mattress tester! I definitely would not be a good security guard!

Best friend: My little brothers Lawrence and Gordon

Dislikes: When people judge me before they meet me

Once I: found a mole running around in our backyard. I was so excited, but a little intimidated, considering he was the size of my paw. I tried getting close to look at him, but he would run towards me and scare me, so I would run away! I was very persistent in trying to become friends with him. I spent hours in the yard chasing him around until my parents made me come inside.

 

Meet Basil the Goat

Age: 2

Owner: Marcy Tocker of Fleetwood

Favorite way to spend the day: Taking naps and grazing with my best friend, Fancy. She’s a horse.

Favorite toy or accessory? When my mommy puts a halter or bridle on my best friend Fancy, I like to grab the reins and pull her around. She likes it. I also like to have wrestling matches with my Pit Bull sister, Ruby.

The tastiest of treats is: ANIMAL CRACKERS!

I’m most famous for: Letting all of the animals free (aka picking the locks) at Grey Muzzle Manor and playing with all of the guests that visit us

If I had a job, I’d be a: Secret agent

Best friend: Fancy

Dislikes: When mommy takes Fancy riding and leaves me behind; fences; locks and gates.

Once I: Thought it would be really funny to sneak into mommy’s house and pee on her bed. She made me wear a sign saying what I did and posted it all over Facebook to embarrass me. I didn’t really care though.

 

Meet Hank the Frenchie, aka "Mr. Small"

Age: 6 months

Owners: Pete & Lisa Snyder of Robesonia

Favorite way to spend the day: Lounging around the house waiting for belly rubs

Favorite toy: My empty bottle of Gatorade -- it's crunchy!

The tastiest of treats is: The duck breast treats my Uncle Roddy gave me

I'm most famous for: Trying to kiss everyone I meet.

If I had a job, I'd be a: Public Relations Specialist

Best friend: Jessie, my trainer at PetSmart

Dislikes: When Hannah & Chili (my cat siblings) don't wanna play with me

Once I: was trying to get Hannah and Chili to play with me, and I accidentally broke right through a screen door chasing them! My human parents weren't very happy about that.....

 

Meet Mr. Peepers, aka "Peeps"

Age: 14

Owners: Don & Sandy Pawlowski of Sinking Spring

Favorite way to spend the day: Bird watching, relaxing and being cool

Favorite toy or accessory? My soft bed where I can watch the bird feeder

The tastiest of treats is: Chipped ham

I’m most famous for: My deep blue eyes and my cool personality

If I had a job, I’d be a: GQ model or The Most Famous Cat In The World (like the Most Famous Man In The World)

Best friends: Brandi and Caco (My female feline house mates)

Dislikes: Anything loud when I'm sleeping!  (I’ll give you a look of disgust and leave the room.)

I'm way too "cool" to do something funny; though visitors think my "coolness" itself is funny.
