Today’s Dog of the Day is Gizmo, submitted by Victoria Cole of Radiology. “This is my best friend, Gizmo, a 17-year-old poodle-shih tzu mix, seen with her favorite toy – a squeaky pea.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Chewy, submitted by Amy Zipp of Anesthesiology. “Chewy is 13 years old and was adopted from Pet Smart 10 years ago. He loves lots of treats, eating bugs and yelling at you when he doesn’t get his way.”
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.
Gizmo and Chewy were featured in the Nov. 26, 2024, edition of MyVUMC News.
