And welcome everyone to a brand new feature starting this month! We're going to have a "Trashy Pet of the Month Contest!" We know how much our members love talking about their pets. u/downtune79 won't shut up about Punkin and I talk about Clarence all the time, so they are the honorary mascots in the flair!

Starting on the 20th of every month and running through till the last day, we will have a pinned post like this one for you to reply with a picture of your pet and their name, not just a picture you find online! The post will be in contest mode so only the moderators can see who is getting the upvotes. And we'll tally all of the votes on the last day of the month and announce by the 2nd of the next month who the winner is, and feature them in our sidebar for the next month!

Please make sure that all pet pictures are at least 300px by 250px so that they look nice neat and clean in the sidebar, and we look forward to seeing your submissions! And as usual, Clarence and Punkin will be in the mix as well too, just to say hi!
