‘ODD COUPLE’ JUST OOZE CUTENESS

- EMILY HALLORAN

A GOLD Coast animal foster carer thinks her two furry friends should win the Gold Coast’s cutest pet competitio­n.

Jennie Miles has been fostering pets for the last 18 years, caring for 49 in the last two years – but she has two extra special friends.

Princess Petuina Pookie Sparkles, 13, is a Tibetan cross spaniel and Lahlah Valentine, 7, is a ragdoll cross who their owner says look just like brother and sister.

“Pookie has no teeth. Her tongue was hanging out and she looked so lonely. I took her home for a week and now I’ve had her for six years,” Mrs Miles said.

“Lahlah is the perfect hairy-man cat.”

Pookie the dog also has a part-time job putting smiles on faces at the Broadbeach Waters Disability Centre.

“She has a very calming personalit­y, just rolls on her back and snorts,” Mrs Miles said.” Entries are judged on the most interestin­g and creative photos showing how cute your pet is. Go to goldcoastb­ulletin.com.au/ competitio­ns.
