Winners!

Cheryl will post the winners here. :bg3:

Wow - what an emotional week! I wept through so many of the images - they were truly touching and remind me of how much our pets are a part of our lives and how deeply we feel their loss when they're gone. But also how much joy they bring us which was also evident in a lot of the posts.

1st - Sweet Kitty Dreams - Christopher Miller. I thought the textures and expression were just perfect.
Really well done, Christopher.:S3:

2nd - Koko and Scamper - Andrew McLachlan. The pose is priceless and I love the filtering.

3rd - Charlie and Sara Waiting for a Home - Linda Dulak. Linda, I liked the painterly look and composition.
It's great that you and Norm open your home to foster dogs and cats:S3:

4th - Sampson - Andrew McLachlan. Andrew, Sampson looks like he was a very noble and faithful companion.

Thanks everyone.

Congrats to all, and thanks for sharing the memories!

Cheryl, Great job as usual and many thanks too!:S3:
