 My husband is allergic to animal fur so unfortunately I cannot have the puppy I have always wanted. I was lamenting the fact that I would not be able to enter this contest (there were no apples in our home either :). This fly found its way into our apartment and was sitting on the window. I figured since the fly probably has eaten crumbs from my counter and I have not squished it yet that I could consider it a pet for the purposes of this contest. Judge me as you will ;)

I would never consider this a pet. I aways thought of it as an insect.

I have a hundred of these things. you get a 1 from me. Because there is a better fly picture, it got a 2. Fly's may be mother natures pet, but they aren't ours.

It's well done, but I'm having trouble believing this is your pet (even with the title). *sigh* I also would not have rotated it.

Yes, a stretch. Pet flies......

Otherwise, nice macro.
