Candid Camera

Today the Pets page presents the concluding round of winners in the Furry Talk column’s “50 Contests in One” snapshot competition.

As you can see from this batch of honorees, entries arrived from all across the Inland Northwest.

Thanks to those who shared pictures.

There wasn’t room, of course, to print all of the hundreds of photos submitted. (Or even 50, for that matter.) But for the judges, the real frustration stemmed from having to choose a handful of winners from dozens of terrific finalists.

Everybody thinks their pets are the cutest.

And in a sense, everybody is right.

But we hope you will enjoy seeing these furry few.
