Today’s Cat of the Day is Figaro, submitted by Amanda Hereford of Hearing & Speech Sciences. “He is very mischievous, but just so darn cute! He thinks he is part dog and will fetch (and return his toy). He will also sit on command for a treat.“
Today’s Dog of the Day is Simba, submitted by Wendy Vassar of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt Radiology. “Simba is an adorable 1 year old Pomeranian, who is the sweetest boy ever! He’s funny, quirky, jealous, adventurous and continues to amaze us daily. He loves playing with his stuffed “cookies”, being outside, taking naps, scraps of human food and giving kisses.“
Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.
For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.
If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.
Figaro and Simba were featured in the Nov. 14, 2024, edition of MyVUMC News.
