ANIPAL CHOICE AWARDS VOTING CATAGORIES

A few days ago I mentioned the new exciting ANIPALS CHOICE CATAGORIES we were adding. That's right! YOU get to choose the winner from ALL the anipals in the world!!! We have three exciting catagories and I've asked our dear friend, and the committees Head Comedy Writer, @RosieAndCheeto to explain the catagories to you: Take it away Cheeto!!!

The first catagorie is ANIPAL CHOICE FAVORITE ANIPAL Award. Are yoo having trouble deciding? Close yer furry, or feathury, eyes and think of the one anipal yoo would most like to spend an afturnoon nomming yer treats with on a deserted island. Have an anipal in mind...well, THAT'S yer favorite anipal!

The second catagorie is fur the anipal who gets yer belly jiggling with quick, witty responses. Yoo know, the one who that gives yer abs (or in some cases flubber) a work out from laffing & laffing. Yes, that's right, it's the ANIPALS CHOICE GIGGLE INSTIGATOR AWARD!

The last catagorie is fur the anipal that not onlie has grate tweets but thay have an super-duper-fabulous blog too! So think real hard about the tweeter/blogger that yoo want to be ANIPALS CHOICE FAVORITE BLOGGER and cast yer vote

We wrote this in owr PTU's (Prizzoner Transport Units) while on a car ride so we hopes they dont seem grumpy...but we ARE grumpy!....Somebody rescu us!!

Rosie&Cheeto....currently in lock up under gard. MMWWRRRARR!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Put yer left paw as high up in the air as possible

3. Repeat outloud aftur me: "I do solomly swear as a fellow anipal TO ONLY VOTE ONCE in each category"

Penalty fur violating these rules and voting more than once in each categorie will result in the following:

So, as you can see, the next step is up to you anipals. We appreciate your participation, and really look forward to the Glamourous Gala Ceremony that will be held in JULY followed by a huge AfterPawty.

Exciting News!!!!!

Hi fans. Thanks for the huge swell of support for this years AnipalAcademyAwards.

I'd like to spend a few moments talking about the nominating process we used this year.

After we decided we could really do this, myself, @AutumnTheDoxie (EventChair Doggy) and @SeattleP (Jeego- Adminstrative Executive and Event Co-Chair) picked some anipals we knew had a lot of knowledge of other anipals, and great creativity. After a long online conference we had picked our categories, seperated into three committees and all went to start researching who to nominate by spending hours watching interactions at Pawty's, on Twitter etc.

Because we know that there are so many of you out there that deserve nominations, we also decided that each catagory needed a "Write-In Vote" section.

The Nominating committees are:

For Kittehs:

SeattleP (committee chair)

TheNascarKitty

RosieAndCheeto

For Doggys:

AutumnTheDoxie (committee Chair)

PuppyJones

DaphneDox

PepiSmartDog

For OTHERS (includes all non-dog/kitteh species-andstuffed anipals)

BunnyJeanCook (committee Chair)

GeorgeTheDuck

PepiSmartDog

FlaCatLady/KingTuttiFruiti/SnowWhiteCat

There will also be a Rainbow Bridge segment of awards, and we are just letting PepiSmartDog run wild with that, helping him where we can.

EXCITING LAST MINUTE NEWS!!

This year we are adding three new catagories that will be Anipal Choice Awards with no nominees, just public voting!!!!

AND next year we will start sooner and have open voting polls to find nominees for ALL categories. Then another vote for the winner.

And now it's up to YOU!!!

In the next few days we will be done with our nomination process and announce all the nominees. THEN it is up to ALL of you anipals to go to the VOTING SITE we will announce and pick the winners!!

The Winners will be announced at the huge Anipal Academy Awards Ceremony Pawty held on TweetGrid with celebrity guests, Audio-Visual , etc. INCLUDING a Pre-Ceremony "GreenCarpet" show to show off your formal wear (Please refer back to the info blog by RosieAndCheeton on dressing for the show) AND a huge AFTERPAWTY with a concert by the Shibbering Cheetos, fine food and drink, DJ's, and a Charity Site to donate to ANIMAL CANCER RESEARCH.

The journey begins

This really all started a few weeks ago. It was just after a nip pawty the kittehs threw. One of those fur optional, bacon beer and niptini filled afternoons. My Mum had to work though so I couldn't be there. I was really disappointed I missed it so the next week I suggested to Kingtuttifruiti and TheNascarKitty (who are my bestest kitteh furrends) that we throw a Good friday pawty. #FUNpawty was spontaneous and informal, and so much FUN! (Thanks again to all the anipals who helped make that pawty rock!!) The pawty went for 16 hours and it was so much fun to co-host with TheNascarKitty. We HAD to do it again!!

Since then I've been tweeting, pawtying, and doing my dogggie thing. The other day as I was voting for our furrends on the twitter wall it just came to me. We have so many furrends with different talents it would be fun to recognize each other for the things we do. Whether we make others laugh, help organize, write blogs, make movies, help our furrends on the journey to rainbow bridge, or are just a good furrend to have we all do something to help one another.

Now we will have the opportunity to shine and show one another how much we appreciate what we do for each other and animals everywhere, no matter how small or how big what we do is.

Now the journey begins.....

AutumnTheDoxie

An Exciting New Endeavor!!!

A few days ago my very best Doggie friend, and #FunPawty co-host AutumnTheDoxie approached me with the Idea to hold an ANIPAL Academy Awards show and afterPawty. What an idea!!!

We've got so many anipals with various talents. Of course we have FrugalDougal who is a charity mastermind, we have anipals like AlbertTheCat and CathyKeisha and GeorgeTheDuck etc who have brilliant blogs. We have hilarious anipals like AlbertTheCat (again), RosieAndCheeto, kittehboi, and so many more.

We have anipals that kinda help look out for the rest of us and organize things like FlaCatlady10, MaggieTKat BunnyJeanCook, SnowWhiteCat, KingTuttiFruiti, GeorgeTheDuck etc.

Of course lets not forget the crew that helps mourning pet parents and the anipals at Rainbow Bridge. PepiSmartDog, _Bill_the_Cat, R0o, PuzTheCat, RudyCKat etc.

There are so many anipals, of so many different talents, that we are gonna come up with a way to have nominations, voting, an awards Pawty and of course a raucous after Pawty.

We haven't yet figured out how it's all gonna work, but we know it's gonna be fun!!!!!!!
