We're about to make your Monday SO much better than you ever expected it would be. If you're a regular reader here, you know we sometimes get down on our hands and paws to ask for your votes. There's photo contests, blog contests, video contests and more. We received some amazing news this weekend.
Our video, *Waffles & The Red Dot* won the grand prize in Pet360's Tricks for Treats Contest. Halo Pets is the sponsor and... ok Waffles, I think you've earned this one. Take it away–
WAFFLES: Thanx, Boss! Um, the Freekibble.com and Halo people are donating 10,000 meals to Minnesota's Feline Rescue, Inc. I'm not sure how many that is on account of I've never seen that many zeros before.
The Boss says that we owe it all to YOU, our supercalafragalisticexpialodoshus friends! I don't know what THAT means either, but the Boss says it's pretty awesome.
KATIE: Glogirly is hoping to be at the shelter when the food arrives to take some photos and pet some kitties. We'll be sure to share all the excitement with you.This is the third time we've been personally involved with a donation like this from Halo. The shelter is SO excited to receive this food, we decided to find out a little bit more about Halo and their behind-the-scenes giving and philanthropy.
So Waffles, do you think you can handle this?
WAFFLES: Um, let's see. Fill-Land-Trophy. Ok, I think I got it.
KATIE: I don't know, Waffles. I better do the talking.
Halo is the official sponsor of Freekibble which donates 1.5 MILLION meals per year to shelter pets. And did you know that Freekibble was founded by an 11-year-old girl? Her name is Mimi Ausland. Freekibble.com is a pet-related trivia site where more than 125,000 daily visitors come to answer questions. For every question answered, Freekibble donates 10 pieces of kibble to shelter pets. All of this adds up to more than 1.5 million meals.
The Halo Pet Foundation is committed to giving at least 5 times the national corporate average, and in fact has exceeded the national average by a factor of more than 10!
WAFFLES: Halo is getting ready for a big road trip too! It's their 3rd Annual Kibble Drop. In early December, they'll be visiting 8 cities across the US and delivering 600,000 meals to shelter pets.
I wonder if they'd like to borrow the Waffle Wagon???

ReplyDeleteWow Waffles you did it again! And Katie too for letting Waffles do all the heavy lifting. Smart kitteh.

With that said, we still have a spot open for you on our board of directors! Waffles can we entice you with a bigger wagon? lined with Mini pillows stuffed with treats? We also have nicer weather for more outdoor adventures... think about it!
Congrats. I am so happy you won. I love that video.
