"Puppy Love"
“Where do I begin To tell the story Of how great a love can be The sweet love story That is older than the sea That sings the truth about the love she brings to me Where do I start?” [“Love Story” sung by Andy Williams]
A 5-second pet or a 3 ounce biscuit will get you 5 minutes of love and wet kisses! Where else can you get that kind of "return on investment"? http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/1563699 [One I wish I'd seen earlier.]
We know what these VERY special friends mean to you, so we didn’t roll over… We took extra care to select the very best submissions, and-- no bones about it-- this was a truly difficult task! ...We're ONLY human :~(
Congratulations to our 16 Cover Story Finalists: [top to bottom, left to right] Mike Ball, Sherry, Regenia Brabham, Stefanie Failk, Ted Gorczyca, Norman Caldwell, Jonathan Lurie, Joel MacPherson, Mat Garber, Bethany Helzer, Deborah Downes, Jef Price, Taylor Roberts, Judy Wanamaker, Karen Roberts, and David Salpeter.
