Dogs Enjoy Baseball Game + Pup Loves Boat Rides: MD Pet Photos Of Week

MARYLAND — Patch asked readers to send us pictures of their pets, and our neighbors did not disappoint. Here are some of the cutest furry friends in Maryland.

Jill Fleisher submitted this first photo of a doggie named Charlie watching his siblings tube on the Middle River.

Ruthann Grey shared this shot of a kitty named Garfield Grey.

Rachel Krug sent us this picture of Rick, a rescued house rabbit. Krug's family saved Rick after the indoor bunny was left outside for two weeks. The rabbit's name is short for "Eureka," which people shout when they find something.

Rick has lived happily with his new family for four years. He loves being cuddled, munching on rabbit treats and looking out the window. Rick also enjoys watching "Jeopardy!", but he never gets the answers correct.

Brian Edward Kamoie took this picture of his 6-year-old German Shepherd named Schuyler. Kamoie took the photo at the Pleasant Plains community beach in the St. Margaret’s area of Annapolis. The Chesapeake Bay and a line of container ships decorate the background.

Sharon Stapf snapped this picture of Pearl and Grace at a baseball game. The Golden Retriever sisters from Hollywood, Maryland were waiting for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs to take the field after a rain delay.

That's all for this week's round-up. Keep an eye out for next week's gallery.

To participate, email your best picture to maryland@patch.com with the subject line "Photo Of The Week." Participants must also include this statement in their email:

"I, [insert name], took this picture, and I give Patch permission to publish it."

Don't forget to mention where you snapped the photo and tell us what's in the picture.

Please only submit photos that you took personally. Horizontal pictures are preferred.

Photos are due every Thursday at noon. We will post a story with a few of our favorites each week. The next gallery will go out on Monday, July 4.

Good luck!
