Unlike the Courier competition, the pet entries can be emailed.<br /><br />Do you see?<br /><br />The image must be an RGB Jpeg of at least 500kb - plus the name and age of your pet. The competition also requires your name, address and contact number - I'll leave that one up to you... and sent to kmcompetition@thekmgroup.co.uk - please mark the subject 'Precious Pets' to arrive before the deadline of Friday July 29th 2005.<br /><br />There are four categories - dogs, cats, rabbits/rodents and other. <br /><br />If you fancy a go - then photoshop your 500kb creature (make it fairly subtle), email it to the Kent Messenger (details above), upload a smaller version and send me a link so I can add your precious pet to this site.<br /><br />My email is countbalthus@hotmail.com - or add the link on the guestbook.<br /><br />If any of the pets get published I'll scan the newspaper and plop it up right here.<br /><br />It took a while to think of photoshopped beasts to email - "Percy the pubic lice" almost became real but I felt he was a ltttle silly. Hybrids are better as they can enter a category other than...erm...other. <br /><br />There was talk of 'pubic mice' - an interesting concept deemed nigh-on impossible re: the elephantic scrota required for habitation and the graceless task of explaining the creature's ill-informed consumption of cheese. <br /><br />So, dear readers, don your magic thinking helmets and set those brainpods a throbbing. <br /><br />(Don't forget, first prize is a wad of Sainsburys vouchers)<br /><br /><br />Here's my first entry: 'Princess' aged 5 (35 in cat years)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hyq-XzMkBDk/StHkeSKa16I/AAAAAAAAAHk/Fwa2FWrsp-8/s1600-h/princess_small.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hyq-XzMkBDk/StHkeSKa16I/AAAAAAAAAHk/Fwa2FWrsp-8/s320/princess_small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391341437861943202" /></a><br /><br />I'm sure you'll do better...<br /><br />*<br /><br /><strong>Mike writes:</strong><br /><br /><img src="http://www.chthonic.f9.co.uk/images/uglycat.jpg"><br /><br /><em>Unfortunately, this fails the size test and I've lost the source images.<br /><br />Poor little mite got run over by the bin lorry you see, but he's still alive and we love him.</em><br /><br />*<br /><br /><strong>Edwin writes:</strong><br /><br /><img src="http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQCbAiEVAfN9r1D*mGxE5S7!!eBWU7ir12XRfLfxmJeB0iJaFAwdm!eMjrHD4jTl6UlVrig9Y8Utvk7zg0fm4jskvU5XC*seXxBb5OPuYP0/groucho_web.jpg"><br /><br /><em>May I introduce to Groucho.
