Thought I better get this going and nominate some threads myself. In case anyone wonder, it IS allowed to nominate threads you started yourself. ;)
My nominations so far is:
Tales of Magoo
Lily is ready for the Olympics!! Who wants to join her?
The Cruise of the good Ship "Feline Princess"
Randi - I think both threads on Bob should go together as just the Story of Bob. I think they are both needed to understand the whole thing. Can they just go together as one? and if so I would like to nominate it (or both if you want them seperate).
Thanks!
Right now I just don't feel like crying anymore over some things from 2004. Not escapism really.. and knowing the love and care of everyone does make the heart go pitty-pat.. but I for now need to laugh and feel good and get a bit goofy. I would - at the moment at least, but we aren't voting yet :rolleyes: go with Feline Cruise and the ".. ready for the Olympics" which I believe ended up with Cat AND Dog entries!
I agree, I will put them together as one. :)Quote:

I will do the same with Birdie, there are also quite a few threads on this one.
Laurie, it's true, we'd had so much sadness here lately, so I feel the same way. I need to read something uplifting, and I think it may also cheer others up to read some of those threads. :D
I forgot to nominate this one:
WHO was their real estate / rental agent!??
Done!!
How did I miss Phred's BURDZ? Never saw that one, musta been in another universe. Oh well.. I've read it now and it's for sure a top contender! What fun! And DRAMA!
I particularly like the threads that go off in all sorts of unexpected directions, and the ones where there are lots of participants, all just having a good time.
So here goes (in no particular order):
Lily is ready for the Olympics!! Who wants to join her?

The Cruise Of The Good Ship "Feline Princess"
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=42305
WHO was their real estate/rental agent!?? (Burd Tail)
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...light=driveway
… and by showing me a full set of claws, Fister persuaded me that
Fister wants his posts back!
http://67.15.70.205/talk/showthread....ghlight=fister
is essential reading for all serious Pet Talkers. (He claims that if it hadn't been for him complaining, there wouldn't have been any Feline Princess Cruise, and I didn't dare disagree!)
I know they're very cat orientated, but I'm a cat freak, so I suppose that's logical.
Jonza - I've read all of the nominated threads - and I can hardly stop crying.
Could I suggest we actually have TWO Threads for Thread of the Year 2004? One being the normal daft, PetTalk type funny thread and the other a Pet Memorial.
It's just too difficult to choose between a funny thread and a heartbreaking thread.
Would it make a lot of extra work for you if everyone voted twice?
A 'funny' and a memorial.
Lynne
I really like Lynne's idea....a happy best thread and a touching one...
And I second Jonza's nominations! I've been rereading them and laughing out loud!
Various ways of doing ” Thread of the Year” have been suggested, but my intention is to find out which ten threads from 2004 people like the best. It worked so well the previous years. :)
I’m really not up to doing it all split up. Two and four different polls have been suggested, and I imagine the discussion about various ways of doing it could go on and on …. If anyone else wants to do a "Thread of the year" for individual Forums - or whatever, please do! :)
In this one, each person can nominate up to 5 threads from all the different Forums and the ten most nominated will make it into the poll. When the voting is over, you’ll see the ten threads listed, ranking in order of popularity. You can still see which are the most popular threads from the different Forums.
So far, 18 different threads have been nominated, of which about 9 have got more than one nomination.
Ok. The cat olympics one was hilarious! Also, the feline cruise. Farewell to Angus(dog memorial) I haven't read Bob's story yet so I will get back to you on that one.
Here are my top Five nominations:
There are so many this year that aren't just one thread!
Tales of Magoo
Tales of Birdie
Angus' goodby
Also:
The Cruise of the Good Ship "Feline Princess"
Lily is ready for the Olympics!
These aren't ALL of my favorites.:(
Since quite a few of you don't think it's enough with one poll, I'm prepared to divide them up into more. Some have suggested two .... a Serious/Sad one, and a Happy/Funny one.
Others have suggested 4 - Dog, Cat, Pet and Other.
I'd like your opinions on how to divide them, especially from you who suggested it - and the overall titles for each, and whether you want two or four.
If we choose to have two polls, ALL threads will of course have to fit into those! :eek: Will everything be covered this way? I'm not sure!
Whichever way it's done, I'll only let the ones you SAY you nominate, on the list, so please make it clear whether you nominate or not!
The subjects such as Magoo, which has many overlapping threads, I'll still put into one. We'll then have a Top Ten for each of the Subjects and/or Forums we choose.
If I don't get any responses on this, I'll just do it the way I planned to begin with, one overall poll, like the previous years - but in any case, I'll let the nomination thread run until monday 24th, so you have a bit more time. :)
I think I was not clear enough in my first post, just gave my favorites. I would work just like last year, Randi! It was perfect to me!!
Well, I am nominating:
The cruise of the Good Ship "Feline Express"
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=42305
Lily is ready for the Olympics. Who wants to follow her?
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...light=Olympics
The Magoo threads
The Purrno thread
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...o&pagenumber=1
Our beloved Angus...... A Friend lost
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=58012
I have to nominate this thread...
Our beloved Angus...... A Friend lost
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthr...;threadid=58012
Never have I seen an online community come together as they (we) did for Angus. :(
What you said Randi!!!! ;)
FURMINOLOGY DICTIONARY
My favorites were:
All Mr. Magoo's threads
and
The cat-Olympics
Don't forget Binx everyone.
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...highlight=Binx
Honestly, I had thought Binx was 2003. So, I think the #1 dog one should be a tie with Binx and Angus.
I thought Binx was 2003 also :confused: I still have to go with feel good, laugh and have fun. 2004 had enough tears and fears (for me anyway). So far at least, I think I'll be going with the Feline Cruise but the voting ain't over till the Phat Lady sings :p
Bump!
Monday 24th is sneaking up on us - have you nominated?
I suppose my Tabitha's struggle from being the last remaining week old baby to her healthy adulthood probably isn't as great an accomplishment as some of the others. But I would like to nominate her anyways. ;)
kimlovescats! You certainly can - but, what's the name of the thread?
The ones who have put the name of the thread - or a link to the one you want to nominate, goes on the list. :)
If you don't know how to do a "Search", just ask. :)
He passed in 2004Quote:

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...hlight=Tabitha
There are many Tabitha threads and I chose one. I also want to nominate Tabitha.
I have some personal, private ones that will forever be my own favorites (Jenny's - D-in-law - health problems , my mom) ... thanks for your reply's to some of my "trials" this year all you wonderful people. But they would not be considered "Universal" and I'm sure many of us have private "threads" as well. I still have to go with the "feel good" and will be voting accordingly.
I really hadn't seen this thread until my husband pointed it out to me.
So first let me say thank you to all that nominated my Angus's thread.
And secondly you are all so right. It does show the outpouring of love on PT and how everyone came together for both me and Mark.
So having that said I would also like to nominate Our Beloved Angus....A Friend Lost
But let me also say that there are so many wonderful threads here and they all deserve to be the Thread of the Year:)
I'm nominating the little miracle guy "Birdie" and "Magoo". :) So many touching ones all around. ;)
One of many Birdie threads.....his name was Lil' Bit at first.
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...hlight=Lil+Bit
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthr...;threadid=58012
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...highlight=Binx
Randi, thanks for reminding me.
There were so many excellent threads last year, but when I stopped to think about it - nothing gripped my heart more than the threads about Binx and Angus. I remember sitting here just weeping over the loss of these two dogs...........and I, a cat Mom.
So, I nominate those two threads for 2004.
Although I'm partial to the "Happier" PT Threads;
here's one I'd hate to see overlooked >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...4/f8561381.jpg
With a reminder that the PT Memorial is for...
"... ALL Our Beloved Pets ..."
The Thread is >>>
"A Pet Talk Memorial"
With my other "Nominations" going to:
The Cat-a-Lympics Thread
The Feline Good Ship Cruse
"Bon" ~ His 'I'm HOME' Thread
And lastly, wunna my *PHUNN* Threads >>
WHO was their real estate / rental agent!?? (Burd Tail)
And let the *Voting* Begin! ;)
.
All the nominated threads were great, but the ones that stand out for me were -
Fister wants his posts back
The cruise of the Good Ship Feline Princess
Lily is ready for the Olympics
and I would like to second, third or whatever their nomination. :D
http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...threadid=61796
That's Almalfi -the boy in the bag. Could someone help me and support the thread so that it gets part of the poll:D
Almalfi now has his furrever home with Rose (the Copycat;) ) and if he had been in General, he would have touched even more hearts.
Thanks Randi!!! ;)

I'll support you Barbara and also nominate Amalfi! I was a bit pushed for time yesterday (notwithstanding the fact that I have had about 4 weeks;). I hope I'm not too late. :D
I do believe we have wonderful nominations (AGAIN this year) among the many, many wonderful threads we've read and enjoyed. A hard choice for sure. As they say at the Oscars (or whatever :rolleyes: ) just being nominated is an honor in itself :D Now we vote. Tough choice....
