I hope your pets are helping with your decorations.
I’m having trouble keeping up this holiday season! I’ve been receiving some fabulous cards from kitties all over, but have yet to send ours out. I will, I promise!
My whole family is loving all the cards! I have them hanging across our home from ribbon like a festive banner. Not to mention all the great ecards, as well!
Thank you so much for all the holiday cheer!
I have missed the last two Monday Matters. I’ll get back on that train as soon as possible. For now, keep sharing the Bowls of Love #shakeitforward campaign for food to be donated to shelters. And shop for a cause this holiday season. Help animals while you purchase those great gifts.
Please comment or send me an email if you know of a great cause or charity I can share in the future.
Speaking of great gifts, if you need some gift ideas for cats, dogs, and pet loving humans come over and check out Rascal, Rocco, and Max’s wish lists. Plus a huge cash giveaway, open for only two more days.
In other news, I have just heard about a new app that is about to launch called the, wait for it…., the Pet Parade! Now where have I heard that term before? Oh yes, not to be confused with my fabulous weekly Pet Parade pet blogger hop that begins anew each Friday. That will continue in all it’s glory.
No, this app is separate, and looks like a fun and easy way to digitally dress up your pets, especially for those of who would have to risk their lives to get a cute outfit on their cats. I won’t name any names. And better yet, it’s free, AND supports a great animal charity through votes. Watch the intro video below for more details.
About the Pet Parade App
Pet charity Blue Cross has teamed up with Digital Giving to launch Pet Parade, a FREE app that is great fun to use! It allows pet owners to dress up their pets in the virtual world to spare the animals the discomfort (and indignity) of doing it for real. Money received through this unique fundraising venture will go to help pets in need.
Blue Cross has been dedicated to the health and happiness of pets for over 100 years. It is funded entirely by public donations. The Pet Parade app will help raise money for the thousands of sick, injured and abandoned pets it cares for every year.
Pet owners can share their cool, funny or cute creations with the world in an online carnival parade. Money is raised for Blue Cross when votes are cast via a pet’s own Just Giving page. The pet with the most votes – and money raised – will be crowned Pet Parade Carnival King or Queen in the inaugural Easter 2014 Pet Parade
You can download the app, from 20th December 2013 (launch day), for free, from http://www.pet-parade.net/.
Follow them on Twitter and Facebook for updates about the launch and look out for the hashtags #petparade and #ppchamp
It's as seen on the pictures!! It’s a lovely, beautiful and amazing dress! And most of all really fast delivery. I love it and strongly recommend the designer!

Oh I can't wait to check out that app!!,,,
And yes my pets are helping with the Christmas decoration lol…..my kitten likes to pretend she is a decoration on our tree…….knocking off all the other ones in the process!!! ((Hugs)) from yournhusky pals!
He he he, live kitty decorations. That's awesome!
Nice app! Hope it works with a computer or ipawd cos we don’t have a smart phone. Our phone is dumb like TW. I hate to put web links on a comment because they can slip into the spam folder but one of our jewelry stores has a program called Don’t Shop. Adopt that I haven’t gotten around to blogging about. A portion of sales go to finding animals homes and no-kill shelters. Here’s the link: http://www.londonjewelers.com/jewelry/charitable/our-cause-for-paws/where/p/1.html
Thanks, I'll check that out! Always looking for good causes to share on my Monday Matters series
Well, we think it would be REALLY cool if there was a Pet Parade app for you, pals. But that one is neat, for sure. 🙂
And don't worry — we are so behind with holiday stuff, too!
Hugs!
Oh good, not the only one. And thanks! That would be cool! But way to techy for me. I'd need some brilliant person to set that one up.
Pretty cool, you have your own app! We aren't so sure about getting dressed up, though.
It's not our app, just spreading the word since it's for a great cause. Plus, I thought I'd better make sure peeps weren't confusing it with the blog hop.
We help Mum every day with the decorations by re-organizing it regularly. Purrs
more chances to dress us up? Oh man…. Here it comes.. – Crepes.
Pawesome, a Pet Parade App! 🙂 I'll get my P.A. on that this evening 🙂
If mew'd like to have a little stroll on over to my blog at your leisure, I have a little pressie there fur mew.
Bestest Tuesday purrs
