One of our favorite things about the Pet of the Week contest is getting to see photos of our adorable winners with their prizes. We thought our blog readers would like to see the cute pet pictures too; so, today we’re going to share with everyone!

Here’s Maggie May investigating her Halo goodie bag. We’re very happy to report that Maggie is doing well after her knee surgery.

Our little pug cutie, Rocky Bo, says, “Is all this for me?” We hear his sister, Babycat, was pretty interested in his prize as well!

We love Kilala, and think her mom’s pretty great too – after all, she made us this wonderful picture! We think Kilala makes a great spokescat for Halo natural pet food!

This week’s Halo Pet of the Week is a very special California boy named Popeye. This bulldog was adopted from a Los Angeles rescue five years ago, and has been filling his mom’s life with love ever since.

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!

We’d like you to get to know Buddy – he’s one cool beagle! A former resident of the Northshore Animal League, Buddy was chosen by his future family from rows upon rows of puppies. At 6 1/2 months of age, he wasn’t the youngest pup there, but when he stared up with those big brown eyes, his new dad had a feeling this would be the dog for him. Two visits later, he took Buddy home, where the pup is now quite happy with a family, yard, and toys to play with!

This beloved beagle just adores people and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He is happiest when spending time with his family, playing hide and seek, going on car rides, and taking walks to the dog park. Buddy has even been on several camping trips, and he loves to explore the outdoors – as long as it’s not raining!

Buddy shares his home with two feline siblings, who can sometimes bring out a bit of a jealous streak. When someone else is holding the cats, Buddy has been known to sit at their feet howling as if he just can’t get enough attention. This behaviour doesn’t scare these tough kitties though – they like to show Buddy’s who’s boss, even though he’s five times their size!

Buddy has nothing to be jealous of today, since he’s clearly the star of the show as our Pet of the Week. From what we hear, food is one of his favorite things, so we just know he’s going to love his Halo goodie bag!

Who could say no to this cute little Bichon? Certainly not us, and that’s why Lucky-Charles — LC for short — is this week’s Halo Pet of the Week!

“Lucky” might just be the perfect name to describe this boy, who was rescued from an abusive past just before he was about to be shipped off to the shelter. His new mom and dad certainly feel quite lucky to have brought LC into their lives; they say this boy is always eager to give kisses and love.

His mom also claims LC likes to have everyone’s attention, and she sure found him hard to ignore when he once got into the fridge in an attempt to steal some baked ziti. Italian cuisine is certainly not part of LC’s usual diet – but one look at this mischievous little cutie and mom just had to forgive him.

We think LC probably gets away with a lot, and he definitely stole our hearts as our Pet of the Week. Congratulations, Lucky-Charles – we hope you enjoy your Halo goodie bag!

This week we chose a very special little kitty for top honors. Maggie May is a 5-month-old girl who has already been through quite a bit in her life. She was diagnosed with luxating patellas, a condition in which the kneecap moves out of its normal location, and needed to have several surgeries.

Despite her hardship, Maggie’s mom describes her as a free-spirited kitty with a very loving personality. She loves playing with her older siblings (of which she has quite a few!) and snuggling with her stuffed pink pig toy, Stuie. Maggie May has also been known to curl up in front of the stove while her mom cooks, hoping for a stray piece of food to drop!

Maggie May came into her new family’s life when her dad found her under the hood of a car. He originally took her home to foster her until a forever home could be found, but her new family fell in love with her quickly and decided to adopt her themselves.

If you want to read more about Maggie, check out her blog, where her mom is documenting her progress with her condition. Maggie May certainly deserves some special attention, and we’re happy to name her this week’s pet of the week!
