Gus is a voracious reader!

Each winner receives a $300 cash, plus generous food donation to the animal shelter or rescue of their choice, courtesy of Wellness. The winner also receives a gift basket as a great incentive for the winning pet to keep his or her resolution!

Today’s winner is Gus, a sweet orange tabby who lives in Easton, WA. Gus’s staff, Barbara Ludt, found him when he was just a teeny tiny stray kitten.

Gus is a bit of an intellectual and his New Year’s resolution is:

“To take time between catnip and catnaps to explore and “purr-ruse” more books….”

Gus and Barbara have chosen Kittitas County Friends of Animals (”KCFOA”) in Ellensburg, WA to receive the Wellness donations.

Congratulations, Gus. Keep us posted on the best reading for 2010! Maybe we could start a book club?

Trouble is a good name for this big boy!

We received an overwhelming amount of wonderful submissions so it was hard to choose but we were finally able to narrow it down to five terrific winners, who we’ll be featuring each day this week.

We loved reading everyone’s funny, creative, touching and earnest resolutions but what I love MOST is that each winner receives a $300 cash, plus generous food donation to the animal shelter or rescue of their choice, courtesy of Wellness. The winner also receives a gift basket as a great incentive for the winning pet to keep his or her resolution!

Today’s winner is Trouble, a gorgeous 18-pound striped kitty who lives with his owner, Duke Scofield, in Plover, Wisconsin.

Trouble sounds like his name suits him! His New Year’s resolution is this:

“I resolve to stop teasing the fish and beating up Mickey the dog.”

He he, Trouble, you little stinker. I bet Mickey and the fish will be glad to hear that you are going to leave them alone!

Trouble and Duke have designated The Portage County Humane Society in Plover, WI to receive the donation.

Well you may be trouble but you are still a pretty kitty!
