lol thanks Karen. I wasn't taking the thread to be directed at me anyways. I just saw how so many people felt guilty about voting and I didn't realize how many didn't agree with it. But as long as it's okay with everyone to hold them here...

I don't really go to vote for other pets anyway, unless they're PT pets. I knew a member from another board asking us to vote for her dog in the same contest a member here was asking us to vote for. I felt bad but I just made a decision, based on what I thought. Maybe I shouldn't hav voted at all. *shrug*

The contests here on PT are stupid things like ears, noses, butts...they don't count for anything so I don't people *should* take them seriously.

To get back with the subject, I would too feel bad voting for these pets. Another thing that 'helps' a pet win would be (stupid example) if you have a cute, fuzzy Golden Retriever puppy holding a flower in its mouth and then a senior hound sitting down (for example) it's a bit obvious who would get the most votes. That makes me feel bad.
