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!

PetSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:00:52 -0800

I've gotta say that pre-chewing food for a furry friend is a touch eccentric . . . and a luxury I don't plan on giving to my precious pet anytime soon. Nevertheless, with over half the votes, most of us agree that this story was 2008's most peculiar! Refresh your memory with a video of the tale that takes the cake (or kibble?) when you read more.

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.

PetSugar — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:00:00 -0800

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. From the looks of things, it's pretty relaxed. Must be nice.

The Results Are In: Wag That E-tail

PetSugar — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 09:00:39 -0800

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 . . . or five. The go-to spot: PetSmart. With locations across the country, and a huge online offering, I'm not surprised that this megastore was the megawinner.

The Results Are In: Craveworthy Luxury Item

PetSugar — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 10:00:00 -0800

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!

PetSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:00:00 -0800

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 . . .
Gus! This pup already has a special place in my heart since I got to pet and hold him back in June. I can assure you that his owners were super sweet and truly cherished their winner of the 2008 World's Ugliest Dog Competition.

The Results Are In: Cutest New Zoo Baby

PetSugar — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:00:45 -0800

The latest tallies are in . . . and your votes named this Snow Leopard cub, Emba, as the cutest zoo babe born in '08. (Good choice since that face is pretty adoro!) I also wanted to give a special shoutout to Monifa, since the pygmy hippo's piccys were some of the sweetest I've ever seen (refresh your memory here). Let's be honest, what baby animal isn't absolutely precious?! Think on that while I'm awwwing away . . .

The Results Are In: Celebrity Puppy of the Year

PetSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:00:36 -0800

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.
