#Pawties and Events

18 October 2010

#Pawties and Events are where anipals and humans get together for a Twitterin’ good time. In their tweets they use an introductory hashtag (#) so everyone who wants to join in the fun can easily find them by searching Twitter for #(fill in the blank) pawty or #(event name). #Pawties and Events is where you will find out about the #Pawties taking place on Twitter and where I point you to the official The Anipal Times #Pawty & Events Calendar. Remember to check out the calendar so that you can find the dates and times to mix and mingle with anipals. Now let’s read about some of the #pawties and events that happened by the deadline for this article:

#PawPawty
On 16-17 October 2010, #pawty-master @FrugalDougal welcomed anipals big and small, and even two-legged, to his big monthly #PawPawty event. All sorts of spooky anipals attended this Halloween-themed events, helping to continue the tradition of big, bodacious  and raucus #PawPawties! It is the grand-daddy of all #pawties after all. It was a fun soiree with nearly everyone who attended dressed-up as ghosts, goblins, witches, pumpkins and even some pink-furred critters joined in to spook, and haunt this Internet-based #pawty.

Everyone who attended #PawPawty came ready to toss their cares aside and #pawtied, dined, drank, danced and played games for the full 24 hours of the #pawty. This month’s #PawPawty was to raise awareness of and get the message out about the critters at Orphan Animals Rescue and Sanctuary in Wisconsin, USA.  The October #PawPawty was a frighteningly fun event raising nearly $1,300 for the Orphan Animal Rescue and Sanctuary animals. “The Orphan Animal team pride itself on the high quality of care they provide to each and every animal,” said @FrugalDougal, “they feed high-quality foods and adhere to strict standards to ensure the best medical care is given to all pets in their care. So, thank you for coming to #PawPawty and supporting this great organization.”

Like with all other #PawPawties, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and will need a good month just to recover! If you weren’t able to attend this month’s #PawPawty, never fear, stop by the official #PawPawty store and peruse this month’s great selection of spooky attire.

Upcoming #Pawties and Events Remember to see the #Pawty and Events calendar to get more info on some other wonderful events. Get ready for #DogTalk, #PetChat, #KeepFits, #NipClub and #CookinWifRabbits.  Tune in to these entertaining and highly informative weekly shows where you can say “Hi” to old friends and hopefully make new friends, too.
