And the winner is....

Emily!!!!

Emily, the owner of a sensitive bulldog, is the big winner in yesterday's Animal House Friday. As you might recall, we discussed the pros and cons of putting cats and dogs on vegan or vegetarian diets. 

Today's winner, since I'm not at work, was selected by Pumpkin. While he was sunning himself on the window sill in the bathroom, I came in and dumped the contestants' names, each on folded pieces of paper, on the vanity. Little P, who's a serious omnivore, hustled right over and sniffed the paper. He batted a few around. Sniffed some more. Then batted one right into the sink. He ran to the sink and lifted it out with his teeth. That was the winner -- Emily!

Emily is the winner of a lovely collapsible travel bowl for doggies. It looks nothing like the bowl the pigeons are bathing in to the right.  It also looks nothing like Bo Obama's bedazzled new bowl.

Thanks everyone who commented. See you all next Friday -- and hopefully before then, too.

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.
