The News-Herald thinks it's time to showcase your pet's love of country and dressing up with a spirited pet picture contest starting this Sunday.

That's right, we're prepped to post a photo of your patriotic pooch, polecat, python, parrot, pig, pony, pug, possum or parrotfish on our Web site.

To enter simply upload your picture here between Sunday and June 15. No more than two submissions per IP address will be accepted.

Then return to the page between June 15 and 29 to vote for the most glorious pet. The winner will be announced online July 4 and featured in The News-Herald with a story and picture. Good luck!
