Coolest Pets in PoPville – Dog Finalists
Well who would’ve guessed a little contest like this could create such controversy. There is some debate as to whether the Cat finalists poll is being manipulated or not. Please, please, please don’t use a computer program to flood the poll. Of course you can tell friends, family and colleagues to vote but let’s keep it legit. Anyway the cat poll is pretty close with Oreo, Ike, and Oliver all pretty close. Cat voting is open until Wed. 11:59pm. The “Other” poll is also pretty tight. Calliope, Cladius and Flash are pretty close as well. Voting for “other” ends tonight at 11:59 pm. Also, I just want to let folks know that shirts are only being made for the overall winner (not each category). The king of kings if you will.
Whew, ok, so here we have the 10 Dog finalists. My God was this a difficult task. It literally took me two hours to trim the list. I was stuck on 20 finalists and had to grit my teeth and half it to a more manageable 10 finalists. Voting will open for dog finalists until 11:59pm next Friday. Please be honest! The name corresponds with the photo above.
Blondie
Winston
Cooper
Charlie
Oz
Flash
Tsuki
Wrigley
Dr. Dre

What a good boy!
Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie – Oi Oi Oi
May I vote for all of them?
Based on the fact that these are the current results for the CAT entries, YES, the poll is certainly being manipulated. I *highly* doubt 3932 people read this blog, let alone would take the time to vote for their favorite pet! C’mon! Seriously?!
Flash 24% (944 votes)
Cladius 35% (1357 votes)
Calliope 36% (1402 votes)
Agnes 4% (140 votes)
Billie Jean 2% (89 votes)
Total Votes: 3932
OOPs! The results posted above were actually for the “Other” category, but still……..
After having read the comments for the dogs….c’mon now…there were some dogs that clearly had the most votes yet they weren’t chosen.
Suspicious!
I love, love, love the Dog Finalists!! They’re all winners! Winston, Tsuki, and Lucy all especially caught my eye!
Not ONE pet received 1402 votes…meaning there was 1402 comments…that is total BS!
Flash 24% (944 votes)
Cladius 35% (1357 votes)
Calliope 36% (1402 votes)

@manipulated I’m gonna share a secret with you – in July there were over 50,000 unique visitors to the site and that was before the contest.
who names their dog blondie? wasn’t that what Hitler named his dog?
@I have to agree with Manipulated – You’re aware the poll has no relation to the comments? Obviously you’re not a golfer…
Winston, no doubt!
Best name, too.
Then how was this judged and were the rules clearly explained from the get-go?
How is unique visitor defined? Sometimes I run a variable ip address program when I web surf, meaning during that time, every time I visit I’m coming from a different ip address.
Dre. It’s not “cutest pet contest,” it’s “coolest pet contest.” Just look at him.
Agree. “Cool” is the operative word, and Dre has it.
Though it broke my heart not to vote for sweet Winston and his ridiculous giant puppy paws, or Lucy, who is simply snugglicious.
Cooper’s the one.
So PoP – if I visit multiple times a day, its not counted – only my first hit within the month is counted as a unique hit. Just curious.
@3:57. What can I say, I was going through a Karaoke phase when I got her and loved covering Debra Harry songs. She does have a bit of a Napoleon’s complex though which I believe Hitler suffered from too.
And to the owners of Oz? Can I keep him? That is about the darn cutest dog EVER!
Oh come on, it’s a freakin pet photo contest, people, don’t get your panties all in a bunch over it. What possible motivation could there be to manipulate it, anyway? Is there a cash prize I’m unaware of??
LOVE the lebowski quote, dude.
All the dogs are great, but Dre is clearly the coolest.
My cousin also has a dog (a golden retriever) named Blondie. It’s the perfect name for this dog, because…she’s really not very bright.
Haha these dogs are great. I love how fitting the name “Dr Dre” is for that dog
Friskie and her kitten Rahm were robbed! And I have to say in general there is a vast underrepresentation of pit bulls/mixes for the neighborhood (hard to tell – is Blondie one though?) Ah well – can’t wait til next year
Cooper is clearly where its at!
vote 4 tsuki
Charlie!!!
Winston Wins!
I voted for Tsuki! I am going to steal him, sooo so cute!
*disclaimer – not really going to steal him
Cooper all the way!! What a beach bum!
Its obvious that POP is a RACIST against dogs named Oliver. Seriously, there were at least 8-10 dogs named Oliver and not 1 made the cut. (Yes, the cutest Oliver was my dog, but damn it, he hates Marion Barry… Isn’t that enough to make the cut!)
Winston is the cutest pup in the world. My vote is for him.
What kind of dog is Tsuki?
I vote for Oz. Ozzie lives.
Winston is da’ dude. If I can’t win, he can! – Oreo, 1st runner up from the Cat Contest
Sam E J: I am Tsuki’s momma! Tsuki is a Shiba Inu, a breed from Japan! She is a rescue!

PLEASE VOTE FOR TSUKI! LOOK AT HER HAPPY FACE! AHN! She sits on a velvet pillow and snorts when she’s happy! Come onnnnn.
DRE reigns supreme!
