$1500 Scholarship Still Up Fur Grabs ~ Southwell Turns Woolly & Humphrey's Got Crabs on The Pet Parade Blog Hop #214 with Rascal & Rocco Co-Hosted by Basil & Barking from the Bayou

Friday greetings wunderpurr furriends

Welcome to another Friday on the Pet Parade and our weekly round-up.  As we've been Meowing Like Pirates all week, we thought today we'd share a collage from last year...

 ...and yes Humphrey did have crabs! MOL MOL #truestory But seriously we do make mighty fine pirates ARRRRRRRRRRR!

Quickly before we furget, mew may remember a few weeks ago that we shared a pawesome competition from Tuft+Paw to design a cat bed, well they've extended the the closing date to the 31st of October, so mew still have bags of time to enter fur a chance to win a $1500 scholarship.

Just click the link to be taken back to the original post with all the details, and share the competition as much as mew like.

Moving on... in Local News, just up the road from our sleepy little village is the beautiful and historic market town of Southwell - there's lots of debate on how to pronounce the name, with one camp saying; south-well and the other camp saying; suth-ull, either is actually fine but it's interesting when mew meet someone who pronounces it differently. It's like North and South, the saga! MOL 

But anyhoo we digressed there fur a moment, so the other day Dad was there and took these pics, apparently Southwell has gone all WOOLLY...

How cute is this?

And this too?

They're effurywhere! MOL 

The Alzheimer's Society and the Young Archaeologists' Club

 ...came up with a fabulous fund raiser where all the street bollards, benches and other street furniture have been given a woolly make-offur - they've been woolly-fied! MOL  

There was even a knitted elephant and a Mini car cover on parade the other day too, but sadly we missed it.  Click the links and go take a peek.

Good luck with the fund raiser and thanks to all the supurr talented knitters who made Southwell look tres magnifique, mew guys are pawesome!

it's competition time with Tuft + Paw ~ Design a cat bed fur your chance to Win a $1500 Scholarship

Hey guys

Mew remember a few weeks back when we made our pawesome Pom Pom Hammock well aftur we'd posted it, the pawesome peeps at Tuft + Paw contacted us to know if we'd share their totally terrific competition, and of course we said yes, and we must say that no money or products were exchanged fur us sharing this with mew.  We're doing it because we think it's an epically epic idea.

So if mew, or someone mew know maybe interested pass this info along, here's what Tuft + Paw had to say:

Want to help design a new cat bed for cats like Bionic Basil?

Tuft + Paw (https://www.tuftandpaw.com/) has just launched a design competition to design a  sustainable cat bed that will wow your cats (and ours)! 

Contest winners will win a $1,500 scholarship towards any pursuit of education degree. That means you don't have to be a designer or architect to enter – just have a passion for cats! 

On top of that, the winners design will go into production in the USA and debut as a new flagship product on Tuft + Paw’s website. 

Entrants should keep the the following criteria in mind for their ideas: 

1. It's sustainable

2. It's affordable

3. It's beautiful

4. It's easy to ship

5. It's practical. 

You can find out more about the contest and enter here:

The submissions deadline is September 31st 2017, and the winner will be decided before October 31st 2017.

If the P.A. was about 300 years younger, she'd definitely design something fur sure that didn't involve gluing a gazzillion pom poms on! MOL

But seriously guys this is a great oppurrtunity fur someone to design something supurr special, watch it go into purrduction and win some $$$'s too - it can't get better than that.

So get the pencils out and get designing...

Oh and we'll be back with another Crafting with Cats post asap, the P.A. & Dad have now made us an Observatory, yep it's true, planets and all! MOL

Wishing mew a fabulous Monday and we hope to see mew on the morrow when we're back with part 4 of our Summer Blockbuster, The Last Big Jolly

Bestest purrs and good luck
