Mad About Pets!

These are my two adorable rabbits, Bunny and Sparky. Bunny is a New Zealand red who I purchased from a breeder. He broke her ear when he snatched her out of her cage, but that has not quelled her sassy personality. Sparky, a Rex, was adopted from the Humane Society, and he has been Bunny's personal groomer and worshipper for several years

Izzy is a mix of lab, hound, and boxer. She had been at the Humane Society twice when we adopted her, and she is never going back. Izzy loves going for walks, no matter how cold, snowy, or windy the conditions. She also loves attention, and will paw at us incessantly until she gets our undivided attention.

Congratulations to Nicole H. and her pets from Janesville, WI! Would you like your pet featured as Pet of the Week? Read entry instructions here.

This is my little boy Nicky.  He is a beautiful 5 year old orange tabby.  I adopted him from an acquaintance 2 years ago.  He has a stubby tail - nobody knows what happened for sure but the vet said it looks like it may have gotten caught in a trap or farm equipment when he was a kitten (he used to be a farm cat).  I have had many cats but Nicky is the best ever.  He is incredibly affectionate, loves having his belly rubbed and sleeps in the crook of my arm every night.  He's a great hunter too - he has caught various rodents while tied up in the backyard, and several mice in my boyfriend's house (good boy!).  I could never imagine my life without him.

My name is Lianne and I am the pround parent of my fur-baby, Squirrel.

Squirrel is a calico/mixed tabby cat depending on who you're talking to. Squirrel works very hard 7 days a week. The main responsibilities in her line of work are sleeping, eating, and furring people. In her free time she enjoys chasing furry white mice and bathing in the sun.

Mad About Pets is happy to announce a new feature: Pet of the Week! Every week I will be selecting and featuring a different pet photo and story submitted by readers. If you would like your pet featured, please email me the following information at pets@mad-about-pets.com :

*A high-quality photo of your pet
*Your name and location (city/state)
*Your pet's name and age
*Your pet's species and primary breed (if known)
*A short blurb about your pet (where you got him/her, any unique tricks or skills, why your pet is special to you, etc.)

On a regular basis, I will be randomly selecting a featured pet from Pet of the Week and their owner will receive a fun gift from the Mad About Pets shop!

So start sending in those pictures ASAP :)
