Contest: Next Monday, April 26, is National Kids & Pets Day! Send Us Your Favorite Pet Pic & We Will Choose a Winner!

Jordyn Bahl, the outstanding 2021 pitcher from Nebraska, and her dog Sasha. The Oklahoma signee says she has her dog and two cats who are “near and dear to her.” Send us YOUR favorite pet pic too!

We know how much our softballers LOVE their pets and in honor of National Kids & Pets Day next Monday, April 26, 2021, we’re asking those animal lovers out there to send us your favorite pet pic!

National Kids and Pets Day awareness of the importance of picking the right pet at the right time. It’s an important decision that can lead to a lifetime of bonding between pet and owner. The day also celebrates the bonds young people and pets can share and a day to remember safety where our pets and people are concerned.

As we’ve gotten to know fastpitch players, coaches and family members across the nation, we’ve seen up-close how so many truly ove their furry friends (or feathered, scaled or fluffy buddies!) too.

Some, like Pickle Winkler pictured below have MULTIPLE pets:

Madison “Pickle” Winkler lives on a farm in Christian County, Kentucky and, along with her family has two dogs, cats, and her horse Mojo!

Here’s what we’d like you to do:

By Monday, April 26, no later than noon EST/9 am PST, send a favorite photo in an email to [email protected] containing:

  • you or a family member (please ID!)
  • your pet (if not obvious, tell us what kind of animal it is)
  • your animal’s name, age and anything else to describe it!

We will put them on our social media pages and have everyone vote for them!

The one with the most votes on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook will get to be honored on our site.

So send in your photo and show us how much you love your pet, like pitcher Halie Pappion with her dog Que!

But, let’s be honest,it’s going to take a pretty special pet to equal or surpass this handsome and smart pooch owned by Extra Inning Softball’s Carlos Arias:

Carlos’s trained ninja warrior dog La La (after his beloved Los Angeles Lakers, we suppose!).
