Ok, thanks for explaing how you do it Karen!

As for Niinas case, couldn't you consider doing something like the people who post actively at Pet Talk get "first dibs" or whatever when it comes to being picked? I mean, I don't even know if most people look in the Cat/Dog/Pet Of The Day forums to see what people have commented on their pets and I just think that then people who are actively part of the community (like Niina) should get kind of a first turn. I don't think this would be such a big deal or unfair since you said you don't do it by a "first come first served" way anyways...
