CAS Contests 2013: 07 - Best Friends

The Situation:
A Best Friend.  Someone to always be there for you, someone to share the good times and bad.  Who doesn't need a Best Friend?  And many times, our Best Friends may be members of another species - a dog or cat, for instance.  We've had many wonderfully creative entries in the CAS Contests since they began a little over a year ago.  Many of those entries were solitary Sims or Pets.  Now it's time to help those solitary characters find their perfect Best Friend.

Your Task:
Your task is to design a Best Friend for a character from a previous CAS Contest.  You can either make a pet for a Sim or a Sim for a pet.  Thanks to the creative people who gave permission for their characters to be used in this contest. 

The Sims looking for pets are:

- Elvis, by Joria
- Lady Gaga, by ratchie
- Captain Kirk, by chetanhaobijam
- Amadi Bonheur, by Audren

The pets looking for a Sim companion are:

- Stars and Stripes kitties by Snufflesxx
- Painted Cats by Marwolfer
- Zebras by GoslettM
- Papicher by ladybug53

For the Pet Best Friends:  If you are creating a Pet to be Best Friend for one of the above Sims, your Pet may be any species and breed - whatever you feel best suits the Sim in question.

For the Sim Best Friends:  If you are creating a Sim to be Best Friend for one of the above pairs of Pets, your Sim may be any life form and any age - again, whatever you feel best suits the Pets in question. 

Screenshots:  You may post up to 10 screenshots in your entry thread.  As always, only one screenshot should be posted in this thread.

Content:  Content from any EP or SP is allowed, as well as free store items.  No custom content or purchased store items.

Contest End Date: Thursday, 19th June, 2014 - 11:59pm

Elvis was known for having a heart for horses. This was never more true than when it came to his very first horse and personal favourite, the golden palimino American Quarterback, Rising Sun. Purchased by Elvis as the very first equine inhabitant at Graceland, it was said that Rising Sun was probably the only animal who knew Elvis the man, he didn't know that he was 'the King' to world, he simply knew him as his loving and best friend.

The contest is now closed and the poll is up.  As we have just three entries this time, you'll only be able to vote for one entry.  I hope the question is clear, as I had a bit of trouble with the wording.  Which of the three entries most suits the Sim or Pets they're hoping to adopt?

[Schipperke]

The poll is now closed, and we have a winner!  Congratulations to ladybug53 for her wonderful creation, Panther Bonheur!  I think you'll agree Panther is the perfect companion for Audren's Amadi Bonheur.  Personally, I felt that all three entries for this contest were very well thought-out and fit perfectly with the Sim or pets they were designed to complement. 

This thread is now open for comments.  Please remember to keep your comments positive and constructive, and to give feedback only if it has been requested.

Audren did such an amazing job creating this sim . He's very unique and special and deserved to have a best friend . Congratulations to the other entrants for such creative work . Bravo to you all . "

I can't believe I forgot to post ladybug's winners statement when she gave it to me!  Talk about a faulty memory.  I've been busy elsewhere, and for some reason I thought I had done it.  Anyway, apologies to ladybug for the long delay, and I hope you'll take the time to read it, now that it's finally here.
