Love and KFC: On the Road with Waffles & Katie

WAFFLES:  *inaudible chortling*

KATIE:  Don't look now, but you-know-who has found himself a bucket of you-know-what.

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, this isn't you-know-what, it's you-know-chicken.

KATIE:  Waffles, don't you know you should never eat anything bigger than your head?

WAFFLES:  But what if it's extra crispy? Does extra crispy count?

KATIE:  Yes, extra crispy counts.

WAFFLES:  Ok, then I'll have the original recipe. 

KATIE:  Looks like you already did.

DAY 5: On the Road with Waffles & Katie
Waffles' reputation as a ladies' man is undisputed. But we bet you didn't know he's also a poodle's man. He and the well known service dog, Carma Poodale, share a secret. A secret passion that is. Chicken. Fried. From the Colonel.

When a bucket appeared outside our hotel room door last night, it had Carma written all over it. Well... that and KFC.

Conference Update
Saturday was the last day of the BlogPaws conference. Waffles spent the better part of the day entertaining his girlfriends as they popped by his hotel room and charmed him with treats and toys. Katie made another public appearance in the KatieWAGON. Lots of ooooh's and aaaah's as we all gathered in the lobby for some quality schmoozing time.

As we're writing this, everyone is getting all fancied up for the big Nose-to-Nose awards banquet. We're very honored to be named finalists among so many talented friends and fellow bloggers. Our paws are crossed for a win, but honestly it's so thrilling and humbling to even be nominated.

After the awards, we'll be packing up all of our cool kitty swag and getting ready for the long ride home. It's been such a fun conference and we can't believe it's almost over.

Stay tuned...we're not done yet! We'll be back tomorrow with the latest in our On the Road with Waffles & Katie: Nashville series.

In case you're just tuning in and don't want to miss a beat in our road trip series -
Day One: Nashville or Bust
Day Two: B&B FAIL
Day Three: The Long Ride to Nashville
Day Four:  Do You Smell Something?
Day Five:  A Public Katie Sighting???

Plucked from the Headlines: A Chicken Whodunnit

Breaking News

Facebook was all aflutter yesterday with news of a Toledo KFC chicken heist. According to the Toledo Police Department, *someone* made off with hundreds of family-sized-buckets worth of chicken from a local KFC. The unknown *suspect* or suspects broke into a refrigerated storage shed before they "flew the coop with $3,000 worth of chicken."  

This is the stuff of which blockbuster movies are made. "Chicken Impossible" perhaps? Coming to a big screen near you!

The news broke fast, making headlines across the country. ... or at least in Toledo.

"Pounds of poultry plucked from Toledo KFC."

"Thieves flew the coop with $3,000 in KFC chicken."

"Mmmmm... Chicken & Waffles."

Swirling Suspicions

Meanwhile back in Minneapolis, fans of the GLOGIRLY cat blog are connecting the dots. Waffles, an orange tabby with sticky paws and a well-documented chicken obsession, has been seen breaking into cupboards, cabinets and closets. It's true he often ends up locking himself inside, but he's been hard at work purr-fecting his tradecraft. 

So where WAS Waffles yesterday?

Sources indicate Glogirly was busy working on taxes yesterday and barely had time to feed Waffles and fellow Townhouse cat Katie. Yet Waffles' breath is rumored to smell like 11 secret herbs and spices. Coincidence? 

Waffles has declined to comment and is asking for privacy amidst the accusations and innuendos.  Privacy??? Since when?

Waffles Wednesday: HO HO HO!

Yes, Waffles. There really IS a Colonel Sanders Santa Claus.

Dear Santa,

I mean Colonel. Uh... Colonel Claus? Hi. It's me, Waffles. I hope you and the North Pole chickens had a really nice year. I just wanted to remind you that I've been a really good cat. Like extra really good. Like extra CRISPY good. 

So when you come down our chimney at the Townhouse–  Huh? What? We don't have a CHIMNEY??? Seriously? 

Uh, Santa Colonel? We don't have a chimney. So please leave my Christmas bucket at the front door. You know, where the man in brown shorts leaves stuff. 

I'll be waiting.

Love,

Waffles

PS: Can you please bring me a side of gravy?

Meow Like a Pirate, Waffles-Style

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Me tree trunks are cold!

KATIE:  *rolls eyes* Waffles, don't you mean Shiver Me Timbers???  And by the way, you're supposed to call me Captain.

WAFFLES:  Ok, Captain. Boss. Nice beard. It looks like rain. I better go button up our hatches too.

KATIE:  Waffles, it's BATTEN DOWN the hatches.

WAFFLES:  Uh, Boss? These hatches. Do they have anything to do with chickens?  I mean, don't chickens hatch and all?

KATIE:  Waffles, only YOU would turn Meow Like a Pirate Day into a discussion about chickens.

WAFFLES:  Pirates have to eat too, you know.  Wasn't the Colonel a pirate?

KATIE:  No. Colonel Sanders was NOT a pirate.

WAFFLES:  That's too bad. The pirates would have LOVED extra-crispy.

KATIE: *shakes head* Blimey.

WAFFLES:  Oh my COLONEL!!!
