The Critter Corner!
A House that's Juuuust Right!
Mama Dot seems to have found the perfect sized house for herself. She seems to be considering the interior design and décor. I'm sure Shaci, her helpful human decorator will work with her to come up with the perfect little home.
Thank you Shaci for sharing such a great picture of Mama Dot with us! Mama Dot will receive a $25 gift certificate from Petsmart for being the December Critter of the Month.
If you'd like to submit your pet's picture for
consideration for the Critter Corner, you can upload
pictures in the "Good Pets
acting bad!" or "Good Pets acting cute!"
galleries at the Greenleaf Forum.
