Logan's right, Ben. I think Karen & Paul get a lot of submissions, and it takes a while to sort through them and plan. Also, they probably don't want to give away too much information on their process of choosing! Gotta keep a little bit of suspense and surprise in this, you know! They're building you up a bit so that you'll be really excited when your pet is chosen at last!

When my cat, Saima, was featured in September, 1999, I remembered that I had submitted her nomination at least a month beforehand. I was like you in that I was getting a little worried that she might not be chosen (I had even sent an e-mail just like yours directly to K & P asking what's up). So just hang in there!
