“This is Sweetie, keeping warm in her daisy blanket. She is impatiently waiting for her dinner,” said Tanya Kanoff of her furry friend. The folks here at the Herald totally get Sweetie’s vibe. We like our warm blankets and dinner too.
“This is Wilson, the love of my life. He loves this weather we’ve been having,” said Heidi Vanoy Cardin of her favorite fuzzy snowball.

Josie Sisson submitted this photo of Daisy the Great Dane, and Foo the cat. It appears Foo is generously sharing the bed with Daisy.
Olga Justesen submitted a photo of Odie, her lab that she absolutely adores. She was concerned that labradores, being the wonderful critters they are, were not as represented in the discussion as they should be.
Valerie Parrott presented this photo of Tiger, whom she says “rules the roost” at her home. “And yes, he does have the fluffiest tail ever,” Parrott said.
