If you're able to help, please send your pet pictures - along with the pets' names and your name and title - to you for your help, take care, and best wishes for 2021 from the team. Regardless, our supply of Creature Comforts pictures is low, but we think demand for them will remain high well into 2021. (If this applies to you, please don't feel called out here you had lots of company.) Or you might have submitted dozens and dozens of pictures of the same pet, which was very much appreciated and made our days nicer, but we felt we could really only run one picture per pet in the interest of fairness. ![]() We might have just messed up and misplaced it.

If you've submitted a pet pic and haven't seen it despite a thorough search of the Creature Comforts archives, there are a few reasons we might not have run it.

First, we're dealing with a small sample size of just 457 pets, so there's only so much confidence we can have in our takeaways. Here's a chart pulled from our 2020 Year in Numbers feature showing the breakdown of pet pictures from the first five Creature Comforts columns: Yes, is a respected and credible journalism outlet, why do you ask? ![]() Unless big news breaks, this should be the last article that publishes in 2020, and we can think of no better way to wrap it up than with a Creature Comforts column.īut before we get to the pet pictures, lets dig into the data. ![]()
