        petName = (String)petList.getSelectedItem();
        int i = 0;
        while(i < petStrings.length)
        {
            newList[i]= petStrings[i];
            set.add(newList[i]);            
            i++;
        }
        newList[i] = petName;
        set.add(newList[i]);        
        Iterator itr = set.iterator();
        while(itr.hasNext())
