A few visitors were abusing the old cookie-driven rating system. They manipulated their browser to bypass the one-vote-per-pet limit. The new account-driven system eliminates this problem. So going forward, I thought it was best to wipe the slate and start anew.

As of today, the Top 10 List is a little lacking. So give it some help! Simply create an account and vote for your favorites.
