Yes, the other entries are splendogorous and splencatorious and not to forget splenpigorous but I’ve just found out (yes, I’m a little slow) that there are ACTUAL PRIZES to be won.
Now you know I’m not going to take a prize for this little menagerie. No sirree! If there are prizes to be given, they’ll go straight to an animal shelter. Come on guys, it’s time to vote for a shelter to get a prize.
The Valentines Ball over at Mollie & Alfie is going magnificently.
Raffles is a most regal and handsome fellow but, bless his little curly socks, he is, of course, still a pup. He started the proceedings looking like this:
But soon found the decorations simply irresistible:
Litchi, whom many believe to be a true Lady but whose hidden nature is that of Manic Mania, joined in the fun like this:
Raffles, on having been admonished by the bouncers, retreated in shame to hide in the bushes:
But Litchi, knowing it was her duty as the “more mature” half of this couple, ran to her rescue, bribed the bouncers (she learnt that from Doggy) and ensured their return entry to the Ball:
Shadow and Coccolino also started the festivities in fine style:
But as the alcohol flowed, he managed to relieve another guest of their costume and give Shadow some good giggles along the way:
Realising he was on to a good wicket, he sneaked Shadow off to teach her how to steal the best quality drinks on the sly:
But once the shenanigans were over, Cocco certainly put his best hoof forward and my, oh my, what an accomplished dancer he proved to be:
Moving onto the youngest attendee at the ball. Little 8 week old Pixels and the two most utterly handsome dates in dogville, Scout and Teddy:
As the Lady we trust she will grow up to be, she donned a fabulous hat to match her Gentledog partners
What kitty could say no to the perfect Black & White partners, sporting their top hats with style and grace?
To which Pixels replied with an:
But soon realised that these two stunners were nothing, if not caring, gentle, slobberbugs well worthy of her paw pats.
Enough jabbering – get yourselves off to Mollie & Alfie and cast your votes for King and Queen of the Ball and Best Dressed.
Again, I warn you, DO NOT look at the other entries. They are spectacular and brain cells will instantly ignite into an inferno.
Remember, you are voting to get a Rescue Shelter a PRIZE. You are voting for the DESTITUTE, the HOMELESS, the UNLOVED and ADORABLE! This is YOUR CHANCE to make a DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES!
PS – All photos of dates were maliciously stolen off their blogs. They may sue me but would have to stand in line with the other 3258 other claimants. We suspect your court date would be scheduled for around 2098.
The Rescue Animals of the World unite in saying THANK YOU!












Tears rolling, so funny..I love Raffles in the bush..:) We are so pleased everyone is enjoying it, as much as we are xx0xx
Mollie and Alfie
You did such an awesome job. I am so impressed and you managed it all whist sick. Incredible! Glad I managed to give you a good stomach wrenching laugh as well – definitely always necessary
Love the photographs!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed.
you have quite a large collection of animals. My favourites are Litchi and Cocco. Is Cocco a Guinea pig ? She looks sweet.
Good golly, they’re not all mine
Cocco is a Mini Pig from overseas. I have Litchi, Pixels (the kitten), Sabre my beautiful boy cat, Shadow my elegant lady cat and then, of course, the still missing Jangles cat. Would love to have more dogs but, living in a town house, I doubt it would be appreciated
What a great post – I like the last picture, I must laugh so hard ;o)
She makes me laugh every day. I just love animals that give me a good giggle a day
What a great collection of photo’s, thanks for the morning laugh.
So glad I managed to give you a laugh. They all had a fabulous time at the ball. Probably won’t wake up for a week
Adorable! You all have my vote.
Aw, thanks so muck. Nothing like a bit of bribery to get things going
Love love dogs…so this was very entertaining to me. Raffles in the bushes a great touch. Have a great day.
I’m a bit of a dog nut myself (well, animals nut really
). Raffles is such a gorgeous dog and he looked so cute in the bushes, had to include it.
Litchi rushing to the rescue is such a wonderful photo… must admit I had a good laugh at this post… great share…
So pleased I could give you a laugh. It’s the most important thing to have everyday.
Ah…I am not sure where to begin, so many cute photos in one post. I wish everyone a good date
…and I believe Pixel is cute enough to have a lot of cats to choose as a date.
So many cats for Pixels to choose from and she goes with 2 dogs. Well, normal has never been the way in this household
Great collection of pix. We loved Cocco having a drink. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Cocco was a fantastic date, showing Shadow all sorts of new tricks. Going to be fun trying to keep control of her after this.
Definitely some “highlight” (lowlight??) photos from the festivities at the Ball ! I believe we’ll all be talking about this event for months to come….
Sammy and Sundae are having a super time too. I’m sure Sam will spend several days not moving from a nap spot after all is said and done though!
Hugs, Pam
I think most of the animals from around Blogville will be spending many days sleeping off this one. What a ball it was! You looked so wonderful
Awesome job!
Thanks. We had a blast!
Love all the looks, but the “a la poodle” 80′s poof had me cracking up
Wasn’t Zena’s slave just so clever to come up with that. 80′s poof was very “in” this year, you know
Pixels! She is so cute I want to snuggle huggle her. Lady Litchfield and Raffles got my vote today!
Yippee – thanks for the vote. Pixels, I’m afraid, gets so many snuggle huggles that she’s just about going out of her mind (guess she’ll fit in well, then
)
Lucky Pixels! And all your other babies too..
I have the time of my life with this party. The tears rolling from my eyes, they’re all so cute …lol
I’m so glad you had a good time and good laugh
We all need at least one stomach aching laugh a day
Love that Litchie…great dog!
Aw thanks! Of course, being slightly biased, I think she’s pretty cool too
OMD I’m still laughing…Your shameless self-promotion alone deserves a win…Wishing you and the Rescues best luck in the voting
Thanks – glad you had a good laugh. Shameless self-promotion didn’t work this time but it’s just too much fun doing it not to give it a bash!
Every Pixels picture amazes me. I have never seen such coloring on a cat. She’s so pretty!
She’s a Tortoise Shell and I must admit, I am rather fond of them. They are so unique and each one has it’s own special markings. I love things that are a little bit different (or nuts, maybe
)
What a laugh! I do hope you win – that last picture of Pixels is wonderful
Of course if you win with Litchi, so does Raffles so there’s a grey area there – but I’m happy for all donations to go to the animal rescue anyway.
You have been such a star, getting Raffles and Litchi all dressed up and ready. They looked fabulous!!!!!
Sounds like a good time was had by all!
Most certainly was! They threw the most awesome party
Your blog has so much laughter amongst the serious undertones! They make my day
love the photos too and Litchi and Raffles make such a lovely couple! Lol
Oh I agree, Litchi and Raffles made the perfect valentines couple. He’s just gorgeous. Glad you get a laugh out of it all. It’s such a heartbreaking subject that one has to keep it fun and concentrate on the happy ending stories. I think I’d go nuts if I didn’t.
Aww, thanks for sharing. That’s quite a group! Shadow, thank you for your patience with Cocco. He was so excited to have you as a date!
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig xoxoxoxo
Shadow thoroughly loved her time with Cocco. I doubt she’ll ever be the same again. Once she finally wakes up (maybe in a week or so) she’ll be doing nothing but talk about him all the time.
Oh my goodness, Cocco is adorable!
Thanks for the giggles.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all your fur babies.
Tracy
Isn’t Cocco just the cutest. Shadow was really lucky to nab a date with him. Glad you had a giggle (we all need one everyday). Hope you had a fantastic Valentines Day.
Hahahaha love it!
Glad you did. Everyone had such a fantastic time.
I was going to vote for you, but apparently it is already over as they already had winners posted:(
Thanks so much for trying. Really appreciate it. They didn’t give much time for the voting, so I think lots of people missed out. It’s the thought that matters
Hi! There’s an award for you!
http://tuttacronaca.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/la-vita-ha-bisogno-di-un-po-di-zucchero-super-sweet-blogging/
Have a sweet week-end!
Thank you so very, very much. That is just so incredibly sweet of you and I truly do appreciate each one.
I love the way you write about these beautiful creatures. Your blog is really outstanding. Thank you for the giggles:-)
Oh my, that is just the sweetest thing to say. Thank you so very much and I’m really glad I gave you a giggle. Everyone needs a good giggle a day.
Aw, I just love the pictures. I love French Poodles too, all sizes of them
I’m completely in love with the Standard Poodle. I wish people wouldn’t go and poof up such a regal, strong, intelligent and amazing dog. At least Raffles shows how good they really can look!
Maniac Litchi is a beauty! Lovely photos.
Aw thank you! She pretty much thinks she is as well
Love the photos so much!!
Thank you. Great fun was had by all.
