Turns out these two cuties came into their new mom’s life at just the right time. Having recently lost a beloved cat, she was interested in adopting again when a friend at work took in a pregnant stray. Not wanting the kittens to go to the pound, she decided to take two for herself, and they’ve since become loving lap kitties who follow their parents around everywhere.

Their mom says they are very active kittens – Tigger, the striped baby, loves to play with straws while her black and white sibling will actually play fetch. And like all rambunctious kittens, Tripp and Tigger love to play fight together, though, after they’re done, it’s always time for more snuggles. What a pair!

Our winner for December’s Pet of the Month contest will have lots of goodies for her stocking when she receives her Halo goody bag, filled with Holistic pet care favorites Spot’s Stew, Liv-a-Littles protein treats, and Dream Coat essential fatty acids supplement!

Baby Girl is an adorable five-year-old pit bull, who is very energetic and loves to play. In fact, she’s such a lively pooch, people usually think she’s still a puppy. Though sometimes Baby Girl’s excitement gets the best of her — like last Christmas when she just couldn’t wait to play with her new tennis balls and showed everyone her appreciation by jumping up on the kitchen table where they were sitting!

Though Baby Girl is known to be very active, she also enjoys her quiet time. Her mom says she likes car rides and lazy days in bed – under the covers of course!

She certainly shatters the negative stereotype of the mean pit bull — it’s hard to imagine how anyone could be scared of the sweet-natured Baby Girl. This pittie loves to give kisses and shares a deep bond with her human mommy, who raised her from a puppy and treasures every moment they have together.

One night when Trixie’s future mom came home from Christmas shopping, she thought she heard meowing in the parking lot at the back of her building. She didn’t see a cat at first, and continued to walk home, but soon spotted a tiny kitty following her. At the time, she was not in the market for a cat, given that she already had a dog and wasn’t sure how that would work out. But she decided to take a cup of milk out for the poor little kitten, and Trixie managed to slip inside the door as quick as lightening. Since that day, Trixie has been part of the family.

Trixie’s mom describes her as a fun, playful cat with her own little attitude. She is sometimes called “The Diva” and loves to lounge on the windowsill, tease the dog, and prance back and forth between the vertical blinds. Trixie will plop herself down wherever she chooses – including inside the bags of unsuspecting guests!

We’re sure Trixie will love her Halo goodie bag (including Holistic pet care favorites Spot’s Stew, Liv-a-Littles protein treats, and Dream Coat essential fatty acids supplement), and all the attention she’s certain to get from being the Pet of the Month. What little diva wouldn’t enjoy her newfound fame?

Buddy came to his mom from a local pet store, but researching his background led her to learn about the plight of puppy mills, and she is now a volunteer for Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. This is where she found her other little boy, Willy. Prior to rescue, Willy was actually supposed to be euthanized because he had an underbite. But his new mom fell in love with him immediately, and she adopted him shortly before Christmas in 2002.

These two dachshunds have very different personalities: Buddy being very mellow and laid back, while Willy is feisty and loves to play. Willy enjoys playing with his kitty sister and has also been known to terrorize the local toad population – he likes to bark at those that cross his path while outside!

Buddy and Willy are all ready for Halloween, and these two hams just love to show off their costumes. Their mom says they love attention and will do pretty much anything – as long as someone is telling them how adorable they are!

Pudge’s mom assures us that she appreciates all the attention and loves meeting new people. Pudge is a very friendly girl, who gives plenty of kisses and likes playing with other dogs and visiting the beach. She enjoys spending time with the felines too, as her family includes several cat friends.

This summer, Pudge was lucky enough to enjoy her own pool lounge. Her mom tells us she loved spending all day just floating around and sunning herself. Sounds like it’s not such a “ruff” life for this little girl!

Popeye is deaf, but he is one smart pup who has overcome his disability. He can understand American Sign Language, and his mom uses it to communicate with him. Because signing is Popeye’s method of communication, he focuses on people’s hands, and his mom says that if he is near someone who speaks using a lot of hand gestures, he will always think they must be talking to him!

One of Popeye’s favorite activities is sleeping – he doesn’t exactly dispute the idea of the lazy bulldog. But that’s just fine with his mom, who loves to cuddle with him.

He isn’t sleeping all the time though; Popeye is a mischievous boy who has learned to open cupboards and closets. This sometimes causes a mess for his mom, but one look at that big bulldog smile and she just can’t stay mad for long!
