Let the Blogpaws Pawty Begin. Day 1

TW decided to leave me a day early this year. Her friend, Prudence Pup's Mom, was being sponsored by Rachel Ray's Nutrish and they were having a welcome dinner Wednesday night. Pru's Mom Theresa was driving TW down and had invited her to join them at dinner. Nutrish doesn't make cat food but they say it's something that they want to branch out into. Seeing how much Pru likes her food gets me to drooling thinking about how good Nutrish cat food will be. TW says the dinner was delish. We sat next to the famous Cat Chat Caren.

Plush CK registered after breakfast with BJC and Georgetheduck at IHOP. The least TW could've done was get something with meat. Sigh. At registration, Plush CK ran into Amy, who escorted her to last year's Blogpaws, where they both walked the Red Carpet and then accepted my Nose to Nose Award. I was so happy to see her again.

I wish I would've kept a note of all the friends I saw! My little kitty head was spinning. Everyone was at our first seminar about Sandy Hook and we had a real cool time seeing Ron Trotta and Schmitty the Weather Dog.

Then, OMC! My eyes glazed over. There he was in the plush fur … the love of my life; Parker Sax Kat. I swooned. His plush self was almost as gorgeous as his pictures. I hope plush me didn't disappoint him.

Parker and I sharing a kiss.

We met some celebrities, including Schmitty the Weather Dog, Teri and the cats from Curlz and Swirlz, and Flat Brian and his Dad, the wonderful artist BZTAT, my BFF Katie, Tiny Pearl Cat and Pepper Pom. Thanks to Teri for an ultra cool swag bag, Pepper for the Kitty Boink, and Prudence for the stunning pendant for TW. We got more gifts in the next few days to make up for the crappy Blogpaws swag bag.

Thank you Lord for this meal I'm about to ingest.

Please excuse us if we left anybody out. This was just the first day. We met many, many friends on Friday. Hopefully, we'll get that post up soon. TW is still kinda fried which makes her senility even worse. Then again, why should I be making excuses for TW?
