Pick of the Litter I consider this award one of the most prestigious I have won. Each week the webmaster of Net Vet/The Electronic Zoo picks a site that he deems worth a visit, from the many thousands that he has listed. This puts me in very good company! This is also one award that I check recently to see who has won...the sites are always of the highest quality and worth checking out.
