Dates and Tentative Times!!!!!

OMC!!!!! We can finally tell you the GREAT news!!!! We've teamed up with the great @FrugalDougal and #PawPawty to hold our Ceremony!!! And it's grown so big that we're going to stretch it over 2 days!!!!

On July 16th #NipClub has kindly offered to open on a special day to hold our Red Carpet Fashion Show. It'll begin mid afternoon (US Eastern Time) and go into the evening. Anipals can show off their haute-couture fashion wear on our Red Carpet. Complete with several cutting edge Red Carpet reporters!!  That evening we'll also be honoring Anipals Authors and Artists with a presentation by the lovely and gracious @MaggieTKat!!

Several other fun Awards will be given out that night...including Most Creative Use of Nudity As A Life Style And also As an ArtForm, and other fun awards.

Then on Saturday July 17th, about 3 hours into #PawPawty, we will begin our ceremony. For best viewing please get used to using http://tweetgrid.com. If you are NOT used to tweetgrid, we will have a tutorial here, and our staff will help you anytime. We'll start with the Video/Photo awards, then get right into the Academy Awards. (There will be a special musical performance or two from @TheShibberingCheetos).

After all the Awards are handed out, we'll spend about 2 hours pawtying and congratulating the winners and then @MarioDaCat will help @PepiSmartDog open the hour long tribute to OverTheRainbowBridge.

Thanks for all of your support. This will be an annual event, and we will hold several honors events throughout the year for special anipals, and the Academy Awards every summer.

Thanks,

Tiger Tommy, @TheNascarKitty

If you know someone Over The Rainbow Bridge, it's time to Honor them

We want to give some insight behind the concept of the Rainbow Bridge Polls! These are Open Poll only, meaning anipals are free to submit ANYONE AT RAINBOW BRIDGE for nomination instead of voting for the committee selections. We'd also like to invite anipals and their hoomans to send us the following info via email:

- note the submission is for the rainbow bridge in the email title

- twitter name of the anipal (if NOT on Twitter, please list a Tweeter to contact about them if necessary. )
- photo(s) of the anipal and the reason you love the photo.NOTE: You may send photos to honour ANY RB pals. The photos you submit do not have to be connected to a vote they can just be to commemorate someone you love. You do not need to send in a photo for your vote to count however if you have one that's pawfect!

Please send the above info to the Anipal Academy Awards Executive Director: Autumnthedoxie@gmail.com

We will be making up a separate page for all the Rainbow Bridge nominees so we may all enjoy and celebrate each other. *UPDATE* Here is the link for the Rainbow Bridge page: http://anipalawardsotrb.blogspot.com/

Thank you much!

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!!!!!!!!!!!
