    We are so honored to be a finalist in the best active living blog category. We are in a category with some other great blogs but I sure hope we win I can give a $1,000 check to the rescue that brought Gretel into my life.

    The Best Overall Pet Blog Category has blogs in it that don't belong there. There shouldn't be dog specific or cat specific blogs in that group at all.
    Where is Pawsitively Pets in that category? I hear they received quite a few nominations and mysteriously are not in that category.

      Caren - I believe best overall is open to everyone regardless of their niche. They may want to consider a best other category for non-dog and non-cat specific blogs.
