Cutest Pets Of 2010: Submit Your Own! (PHOTOS)

UPDATE: Submissions are now closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted their cutest pet photos!

It's no secret that we here at HuffPost Green have an immense love for animals. Not only do they connect us with a natural world that we find ourselves increasingly distanced from, but in their eyes we see the essential elements of our own humanity reflected -- from loyalty and innocence to unrequited love and compassion.

Most pet owners will agree that not only do the animals in our lives continue to unfailingly commit themselves to us, but they always manage to remind us of the best in ourselves without any judgment or prejudice -- indifferent to our political leanings, yearly income, or personal habits -- and are forever forgiving of our shortcomings.

As a celebration of the fine friends from the animal kingdom that we call family, we've put together this list of 2010's cutest pets. Undoubtedly, every creature is infinitely and equally adorable in its own myriad of unique ways -- so don't think of this as a contest so much as an homage to all our companions, whether they are furry or feathered, feisty or fat.

To kick things off, we've rounded up some of the lovable pets from the fine folks here at The Huffington Post. Submit your own pet below, share with your friends, and vote for your favorites!

(Note: Photos have to be approved before they will appear in the slideshow. Please limit to one submission per pet.)

How to vote???? They are so adorable and can tell so loved! So I voted for smiles, loving togetherness, rescues, old ones, RIPs (and miss all I've ever had) - what else is there?. I thought I'd only look through a few but I saw them all. Kind of like choosing your favorite child - impossible!

Made my day to realize so many ARE loved and cared for, though.

they are all winners...and so are we for knowing the love, happiness, joy and hope an animal gives us. I don't understand why so many here are obsessed with what number their pet gets. To me, my two loves Daisy & Lila (slide 205) are the greatest gift in my life...and I assume each of you feel the same way. If my girls get #3 or #3000 on this list they still make me blessed each morning when I see their wagging tails greeting me and their excitement for another day's adventure.
I hope everyone's pets are #1...where it counts.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Monty. Also, I wanted to say all your pets are adorable. I especially like the fluffy stuffed animal looking one. Too cute.
