A Food Bowl Contest!

That’s right, it’s the very first Food Bowl contest!
I’m not big into comics but there are a few strips I enjoy. Get Fuzzy is one of my favorites, introduced to me by my friend Alicia several years ago.
I want to share the dysfunctional-pet love by offering up a copy of “Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury”:
Debuting in 1999, Get Fuzzy has rocketed to the top of the charts. Now appearing in more than 200 newspapers, including the San Francisco Examiner, the Chicago Tribune, the L.A. Times, the Boston Globe, and the Detroit Free Press, Get Fuzzy has become a hit cartoon with its bitingly funny portrait of single life with pets.And why not? The laughs come fast and furious.
Get Fuzzy features Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered advertising executive who’s the so-called guardian of Bucky and Satchel, anthropomorphic scamps that still live by their animal instincts. Bucky, a temperamental cat who carries a boom box and goes on spending sprees, definitely calls the shots in this eclectic household, while Satchel is a kindly canine with a sensitive soul who tries to remain neutral, even though he bears the brunt of his feline companion’s mischief.
Between the three of them, the Wilco household faces a whole host of trials and tribulations that classify them as family. Satchel wants his boundaries respected. Bucky refuses to eat vegetables but insists on snarfing up Rob’s plants. Rob tries to meet women, but his pets continually subvert his efforts. In every frame, Get Fuzzy depicts the hilarious war between the species, giving the animals an equal footing in hilarious one-upmanship.
Get Fuzzy has become the comic strip for everyone who loves their pets with an attitude. That said, Groovitude is Get Fuzzy at its finest.
What you need to do:
Get one submission: Leave a comment in this entry. That’s it! Say hi, tell us your pets names, or just leave a simple “here’s my entry!”
Get a second submission: link to this contest in your own weblog with a link back here!
~ Make sure you leave a valid email address with your comment (will not be displayed) so I can contact you in a timely manner if you win.
~ The contest will run until December 15 at 11:59pm Pacific. A name will then be drawn from the eligible submissions on December 16 using the super technical method of pieces of paper in a hat, and the winner will be notified by email and announced here on the site. The winner will then need to send me their mailing address to have the book sent to, so if you’re not comfortable with that then please don’t enter (though it will never be used for anything else).
~ This is open to residents of the continental U.S. and Canada only.
~ I cannot guarantee shipping by Christmas so I don’t recommend counting this as a gift!
GOOD LUCK!
I love Get Fuzzy! If the phrase “Who am I? ‘I want tuna! I want tuna!’” means anything to you, you’re alright in my book.

I love Get Fuzzy as well!
So me and my animals (Ginger, Sophie, Zoey, Rose, Oscar, and Riddick) are in! 
I put the link up, as well. Yay!
woot, get fuzzy!
You won’t believe this but my cat I just had to give a new home for was named Bucky! I thought it was the cutest name until my cat actually lived up to the Bucky in the comic strip and destroyed my whole apartment LOL My newest kittent I wanted to name Satchel but I wasn’t allowed, I had to settle for Batman
Only a pet owner, or one who is owned by a pet, realize how close to the truth this humor hits!
Wohoo! Love Get Fuzzy!
I have added you to the master list of contests the whole channel is doing during the month, I hope that counts as a double entry.
I really want a dog, but we travel too much. Instead, we have fish. We have a lot of guppies. The males are all named Patrick after Sponge Bob’s best friend and all the girls are named Kalina. My five year-old named them.
Get Fuzzy - that’s a great comic, and i’m a big comic fan.
Count me in please!
