VUMC people love our pets.
We let them in our kitchens and living rooms, onto our couches and beds, and we take comfort at the end of the day in the happily wagging tail or a friendly purr that awaits us at home.
And then we send photographs of the pets in question to be considered for the annual House Organ Pet Issue.
From scores of photos submitted, here is a sampling of the drooling, yowling, shedding carbon- based life forms with whom we share our lives.
