Although we don't see shots snapped of him that often (except recent appearances in Vogue and on Oprah), Norman was the big winner for celebrity pet of the year!The corgi-terrier mix was your top pick (with 40 percent of the votes) and I have to agree that his face is pretty darn adoro. He's got the best of both breeds with the long, stout corgi body and the scruffy terrier hair – Jennifer Aniston's pooch is too precious! Recap all the results of our network wide polls and happy endings to 2008!
I've gotta say that pre-chewing food for a furry friend is a touch eccentric . . .
Rachel Bilson (last year's winner of celebrity pet mommy of the year) always seems to treat her cute furball to the latest goodies. This lead of Thuman Murman is super cute and useful so it's no wonder this was the celebrity "found" item you liked the best. All dogs need a leash, or several, so check out the sweet selection offered from the New York-based retailer, Ella Dish.
I couldn't tell you how many hours I've spent checking in on my favorite puppies, whales, and lions this year, but I can tell you that live zoo and streaming puppy cams are in your computer and taking over your Internets. With over 4,200 followers on UStream, the live Shiba Inu Puppy Cam became an overnight sensation, and your daily destination for "Awwww!"
Plus, more and more zoos are taking to the Internet with live cameras, so you're able see lots of different animals in their habitats, and view what goes on from day to day in the comfort of your desk chair.
I'm constantly sniffing out stuff from a variety of sources (both online and off) so I tallied votes of your (pets') fave e-tailers. Seems like even when economic times are tough, your furry friends still get a treat . .
Even though it barely came out on top of its original spoiled sweet or spoiled rotten poll, when asked what luxury item you'd most crave, the Penthouse Dog Potty was the big winner. I can see this personal indoor patch of grass being useful for city living, although I'd only wish it came with its own penthouse, too! Keep voting on all the Sugar Best of 2008 polls – there's still time to have your say!
It's easy to watch celebrities bond with the cute pets that share their homes and lives, and feel a connection to them as well. However, the dog we voted as this year's most missed pet is one I actually got to meet up close . .
The latest tallies are in . . .
I'd have to call Martha Stewart's new puppy alert this year's version of our current first dog watch! She picked the cutie Chow Chow two weeks ago, and he just squeezed into our top new pet of '08 poll with days to spare. Our pick for puppy of the year is named Genghis Khan – at about 9-weeks-old now, I'm betting we'll see much more of the lil guy when he joins his new sisters in 2009.
