I am also displaying a few of my best selling published works and a formerly full plate of stinky goodness provided by "My Woman" aka Servant (and inhaled immediately by me). Tiny little Buddah is of course represented cause he likes to do everything I do, and to show my displeasure at the plate of stinky goodness being empty...two pieces of "poop" for the pillows.

I am wearing my best, do what I tell you or I'll poop on your pillows look.

The camera does not capture the glory of my, Max's, blog very well. But is is stunning.

Scout Holmes, PAWtective Extraordinary

Scout is a little bit nosy and wants to know what everyone in the neighborhood is up to. When we go for rides in the car he wants to know who is in what automobile, what they look like and if the need a dog to bark at them. If a critter has passed through our yard when he has been inside, Scout investigates and sniffs and snooters until he knows who they were and why they were there and where they were going.

That is why Mr. Scout Holmes is a PAWtective extraordinary!

Happy Halloween, Furiends!

Hana is Mickey Mouse!

Hi, this is me, Hana the Dog. Every year, my silly Mom insists on dressing me up as Mickey Mouse. I'm pretty good at playing dress-up and humoring my Mom, but one day I hope I can dress up for Howl-o-weenie as a pretty girly butterfly. I'm a social butterfly so I think I'd make a good butterfly. It would be neat to have sparkly wings and then I could flutter in the air. Well, maybe I'll have better luck next year.

Isis the peacock

Seeing as there is no way i, Princess Isis, would ever allow anyone
to dress me up,
sister made me a photo shop peacock costume.

It's not very good, but, oh well! i get to pawticipate.

Rules and Regs

2009

I know i loved the halloween contest last year- and i've decided that since no one took the initiative to start the next one- we just couldn't sit back and watch the cb go without a contest!

Our dear friends over at Zoolatry, made us new badges for your side bar!
You can use them and link back here!


Hansel even made voting badges for your sidebar! (shabby, we know, but we tried.)

Like previous contests- there will be a log in for all the CB
to just join in and put up their entry.


WE will start taking entries NOW! And, you don't have to be super creative. Just have your beautiful (or incredibly handsome for the mancats) face in a costume ready for halloween.

Contest is open to ALL cats, woofies, and other furry creatures.

Post an entry- with ONE photo please, of your best costume. And,
each baby in a home can have their own post.
So, if you have a home with 5 cats, and wish to enter all 5, you can do so.

Entries will be accepted until October 31st, at 600 pm EST.

We already have a spot being sponsored by the lovely Laila & Minchie, for category of FUNNIEST CAT COSTUME category!

I will be give a prize out to the
BEST CAT IN SHOW category.

The Kitty Crew will be sponsoring the
Best Photoshop Costume Category!

The Island Cats will be sponsoring the
Viewers Choice Costume Category! (that includes photoshop)

Baby Patches will be sponsoring the
Cutest Costume Category!

Siku The White Dog is going to sponsor the
Best Dog Costume Category!

Siku The White Dog, is also sponsoring a brand new kind of category,
the Excuses Why I'm NOT Dressed Up Category.
(Explanation from Siku: "Hansel, Best Reason for Not Wearing a Costume but Still Deserving Treats category is for who are not a clothes wearing woofie or cat but who want to still get into the fun. Send Hansel your best reason for not dressing up along with your case for why you should get treats; creativity counts!...for example: i don't wear costumes because i am a member of the actor's union and cannot perform without minimum wage but i deserve treats because i am a STARVING artist and i will remember you when i become a STAR!")
this makes it possible for EVERYONE to play! Obviously this category will be only for
those not dressing up or photo shopping. Best excuse wins a prize!

If you are interested in sponsoring a category of your choice, please email us at:
FLOOFY MC FLUFFERSON AT GMAIL DOT COM
But as of right now, we have 7 categories, and 7 prizes!

And let me tell you, they're great prizes!

Some rules:

1. Please put your name in the title line of the entry.
   


2. You do NOT need to specify a category that you are trying to win. And, if you are sponsoring the contest with a prize, yes, you can still enter

3. please do NOT add music or anything that will slow up other's computers.

4. Photoshop costumes are accepted, however, since those poor kitties that have to actually wear the costumes have to endure the embarrassment and harassment from other kitties, they will generally win a category over a photoshop. sorry!

5. Like the contests before, finalists WILL be announced. No voting will be possible until finalists determined, and a poll will be opened. This date is november 1st. You can vote until the following night, monday, nov 2nd. Hopefully each category will have finalists.

6. I encourage you to point out your entry to your friends,
because if we have a sponsor for viewer's choice, you could really use your friends!

7. Rules are subject to change. Please have fun!

8. All furries can have their own post on here. So, if you are 4 animals in
one home, each animal can have ONE post with ONE picture. :)

Winners will be announced Wednesday November 3rd.

Get goin!

Also, you can check out the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PAGE

Questions And Answers:

Yes i check every day on comments to make sure i'm not missing any questions!
I will post them all here when i answer them,
as WELL as leaving a comment on the blogger who asked it's page.
(Newest Questions will be post here at the top of the list)

Q: When is the contest deadline?

A: Noon (eastern time) on Halloween. (Oct. 31st)

Q: I sponsored a category, can I still participate in the contest?

A: you sure can! I won't put you in the category for the one you sponsored but we'll get you in there.

Q: What if my post can be in two categories?

A: If it's most likely put it in whichever one I feel it belongs in. And yes, it's possible to have overlapping categories.

Q: What happens if I win two categories?

A: One of those 2nd place winners will win the second category. This way everyone gets a shot at winning.


Q: All the photos that entered the contest before mine, already have comments on them saying they're voting for them. And, that's not fair, because we entered later.

A: Not to worry! They're not really counting as votes. We're glad to see comments on all the photos- because it's great fun, and it's nice to acknowledge each other. But, voting will ONLY be by poll at the end of the contest.


Q: Can't we have the list of photos all on the front page instead of having to click the
older posts button?

A: Yes, however, it slows up computer time. We tried this- and people wrote us telling us their older computers were much too slow for it. And we want everyone to be able to pawticipate and have fun. So, please use the archive right now on the side panel, and try to visit often- this way you won't miss any! 6 shots will be posting on the main page.


Q: I can't figure out how to login and post my photo?

A: You simply enter the login as : halloweenspookee
and the password: simplyfrightful
just like that.
(yes, all lower case!)

Q: I'm still having trouble getting it to work?

A: If it's not working- you can email us your photo with what you'd like it to say,
and we'd be more than happy to post it for you. You can email us at
FLOOFY MC FLUFFERSON AT GMAIL DOT COM.

Q: How do we vote?

A: The contest ends on October 31st. After that polls will be open for each category. Voting will probably last a whole week to make sure that everyone has a chance to vote. Voting will begin on November 1st, and go until noon, Sunday November 7th.
Winners will be announced Monday November 8th.
(Subject to change!)

Q: Do we vote on pictures now?

A: If you leave comments- i will figure that the photo is well liked. However no, you can't vote right now. All voting will be done by poll.

Q: How do we vote for the viewer's choice category?

A: There will be a poll for the viewers choice category as well. This way we'll make sure everything is kept so that you don't have to worry about hurting feelings.

Don't forget to visit the Rules Page.
