The deadline is midnight Central Time Dec. 15 to enter your pet’s photo in the “Patriot Family Pet Photo Contest.’’

As of Dec. 12, more than 400 entries had been received, and they’re still coming in, said Judd Anstey, spokesman for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. Besides becoming famous, your pet could win you a $1,500 AAFES shopping spree. Six winners will receive from $350 to $1,500 each in shopping sprees. Winners who don’t live near an AAFES exchange will be able to shop online for their prizes. The contest is open to any eligible exchange shopper, regardless of your branch of service.

To enter, shoppers can send a photo of themselves or family members with their pet to [e-mail] with “Patriot Family Pet” in the subject line. Include name, address, phone number, rank/occupation and pet’s information — name and breed or type of pet — in the e-mail. Also send a description of the furry, scaly or feathery friend, explain why that pet is so special, and keep it to 50 words or less.

In addition to the shopping sprees, the winning photos will be featured in future AAFES advertisements as well as on Exchange TV, AAFES’ in-house TV network.

1. hey -- I had no idea about this contest

I shop at AAFES all the time. I have 3 cats but I can't say I have any pictures of them that look patriotic. My husband could put his ACUs on and pose with one of them, I suppose (he just got out of the army).

Thanks for posting!

Wait! I just remembered a picture I have of one of my cats. We found a camouflage shirt for small dogs here in Korea and for fun bought it for our cat. We put it on him, took a picture, and he looks like he was standing at attention. LOL! Maybe I'll try that.
