I've been browsing around all the YourHub.com sites looking for cute pet photos, and I've noticed one thing: A lot of folks have the cutest [dog, cat, parrot] in [Denver, the world, or ever].

The thing about cute pets, though, is that they all get along, or rather, we all get along. We can agree that your dog is the cutest, but my dog is also the cutest. There's no gold, silver and bronze in the cuteness of pets, no first second or third. Everyone can have first place: Max, Gizmo, Jake, Kiva, and every other furry friend we have. They're all the cutest. Here's a bunch of pet photos from all around the metro area. Prepare to waste about 45 minutes. (To post your pet photos, click here.)
