And the winner is ...

BUCKY.

Reality Check Sarah pulled his name out of the bag, and his gift is (not two tickets to the hairball exhibit but) Itty Bitty Kitty Ditties.

This new book combines pen-and-ink illustrations by Alex Boies with witty poems by Tim Hodapp. One involving Opal the cat mentions that she "coughed up a few hairs," making it the perfect gift for Animal House Friday/National Hairball Awareness Day.

Congratulations to Bucky, and thanks to all who commented. Look for more prizes next Friday.

Wow...I guess this makes me the National Hairball Day champion.

(Thanks, SKK...so this is where you were instead of posting about Survivor, huh? And I stayed up late last night composing what may be my best comment ever about the show. I'm trying to be humble here, but I'm on a roll today, quite frankly.)

Congrats, Bucky!

(I took a mental-health evening of no TV last night, but I just finished watching Survivor. Recap is on the way!)

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
