Funny, I remember feeling just like this when I voted for our own lovely Nakita.

Then I thought - all the other pet owners could choose to "campaign" for their pets by sending emails to their friends and even asking their friends to send to other friends, and so on, and so on...

I think that its very unlikely that a person could just stumble across one of these contests and then think "hey, I think I'll vote" - I think most people are directed there by someone.

Finally, just a personal bias here, but our PT pets do have absolutely great photos! Maybe from lots of practice here at PT. The close-up of Nakita is stunning. So I decided that I don't feel bad anymore.
