Happy Birthday Glogirly (GASP!)

Hi everyone, Katie & Waffles here.

We are joining paws in solidarity on this momentous occasion. Ok, we're not literally holding hands or anything. Consider it more of a metaphor.

It's our girl's birthday today and we have SURPRISES!!! Ok, so they're not really surprises for her. But they're surprises for YOU and that's way more fun.  And there's loot involved!  That's right....we're having a birthday giveaway. Glogirly really didn't want to have this birthday so she asked if we could just give it away.  Well, we'd never be able to afford the shipping on ALL THOSE YEARS she's racked up, so we're going with an alternative prize package.

But first, Waffles and I have something to say:

Click HERE to watch on our YouTube Channel. Or just click below.  Pay attention, because there will be a quiz.


Now that you know how old Glogirly is, maybe you'd like to learn a little more about me and Orange Crush here. You're in luck. In honor of the old girl's birthday we are featured on MOUSEBREATH with an exclusive interview by the Funny Farmer Felines. I even let Waffles answer a few questions. Despite that, you won't want to miss it.  (Our post may go up before Mousebreath's so you might have to check back with them if you're reading this in the middle of the night when you should be sleeping.)

CLICK: Katie & Waffles Exclusive On Mousebreath

Ok, now for the loot. We're giving away a coveted pink GLOIRLY tote bag with some of our most favoritest stuff inside....INCLUDING a pink GLOGIRLY pen, the famous GLOGIRLY DESIGN catbell and a deck of the AmazeCats Playing Cards featuring yours truly. This giveaway is open world-wide.

But wait! There's more! A second lucky winner will receive their very own custom GLOGIRLY DESIGN birthday graphic (or any celebration graphic of your choice.) You can use it on your blog or print it on a card or even make a billboard. That part's up to you. You can see some examples HERE. This giveaway is also open world-wide.

And to make it extra fun, we've got some cool ways to earn extra entries.
(Besides liking us on Facebook which we KNOW you already do. Right?)

Giveaway Instructions:
Leave us a fun comment and make sure we have your email. Easy-peasy.
If you'd like to make fun of Glogirly, have at it. This day comes but once in a lifetime.

For each of the following, leave your answers in separate comments.
You'll earn one extra entry for every correct (or nearly correct) answer.

2. Where did the tune that we're singing 'Happy Birthday Glogirly' come from?
3. What is Katie's nickname, as noted in the Mousebreath interview?
4. What is Waffles' nickname, as noted in the Mousebreath interview?
5. Share our birthday video on your favorite social media channel and just let us know you did.

That's it! Deadline to enter is next Waffles Wednesday, July 24 at 11:59pm EST. Two winners will be chosen with random.org and notified via email, as well as announced here on our blog.

How simple is that!?

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Leave it to Waffles to screw up my official voting announcement. For those of you who visited earlier this morning and tried to vote but couldn't... well you can blame it on the orange menace. That's ONE thing he's good for.

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Did you hear?

I'm in the running for AmazeCats Next Top Cat! You've probably been voting for lots of my friends over the past few days. They're in the competition too. Well MY voting day starts tomorrow so I'm rehearsing my AmazeCats Magic Act.

Glogirly says that even I was David Copperfield, I probably wouldn't win.

But I figure if I can pull Waffles out of a hat...
I ought to be able to make him disappear too.

Now THAT'S amazing!

AmazeCats 2nd Round - Vote for ALLIE Today until 2pm EST!

We can't let that pink mani-pedi go to waste!

Waffles Wednesday: A Dog Named Dolly

Um, hi everybuddy. Waffles Too here.

The Boss and Glogirly have been busy de-signing stuff lately. Glogirly says it's because people are getting ready for BlogPaws. And I guess you need to de-sign stuff in order to go. Must be a rule or something.

If it weren't for this dog named Dolly, I wouldn't have anyone to play with.

The Boss says you should check out Dolly The Doxie's new 'Do over at the GLOGIRLY DESIGN website. The Boss says she's pretty cute. For a dog. Oh wait, I think Glogirly probably said that.



AmazeCats 2nd Round!
Thanks to your votes, lots of our friends made it into the 2nd round of Next Top Cat. There are 32 finalists and each have been put into a "clowder" of 4 cats. Starting today, you can vote for your pick of the day's designated "clowder." That means you only have to act fast. You only get ONE day to vote for a cat in each "clowder."

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Glogirly's been cleaning like mad. Doing laundry. Spending an inordinate amount of time making beds. But I know better. This is not the *good* kind of bed making. The writing's on the wall, kitties.

Houseguests, INCOMING.

WAFFLES TOO:  Um, Boss?  What's a Houseghost? 

KATIE:  Houseguest, Waffles. Houseguest.

WAFFLES TOO:  Um, Boss? How come you don't like Houseghosts?

KATIE:  Sheesh, Waffles. What kind of cat are you? Houseguest is just a kinder, gentler word for unwanted intruder. They bring smelly luggage with them. They sleep over. They don't know ANY of the rules. Like, don't talk to, touch or even look at Katie.

WAFFLES TOO:  But um, Boss? This sounds kinda fun. I like talking, touching and looking. I bet these Houseghosts have toes too. I like toes.

KATIE:  Go ahead, Waffles. Have at their toes.  *under breath...we'll see how THAT goes over*

WAFFLES TOO:  Mmmmm. Toes.

Happy Birthday Gloman!

Hi everyone, Katie & Waffles Too here.

We've got a very special birthday here at the Townhouse today. Though I don't often show it, Gloman holds a very special place in my tiny, crusty heart. Despite his reputation as a DOG person, he's the one that adopted ME and brought me home to my girl.

So today is for you, Gloman.
I promise to keep my mitts off your pillow.
I promise to come when you call.

And I promise not to hold you responsible for Glogirly's gross lack of judgment she exhibited when she brought a certain orange brat cat home.  But could you at least pretend to be annoyed by him?
