Welcome to the Celebration Blog for our dear friend @FrugalDougal, " The Pawty King! "
Dougal is a 1996 model, born in Rutland, United Kingdom. Since 2009, Dougal has walked the walk and barked the bark, leading us along his pathway of open-hearted kindness and charitable acts. To date, Dougal has been at the forefront of the anipals putting our paws together and raising over US $32,000 ! *eyes popping*
Dougal's first Pawpawty back in 2009, was attended by 20 Pals, with very few prizes. But although small in stature, Dougal does not think small; he pressed on, sniffing and trekking his way to greatness. Nowadays, Pawpawtys are staffed by DJs, Barktenders and he even has his own Sekurity Team.
When Dougal's parents flew to The Shorty Awards in New York, to receive Dougal's Award for Non Profit Charitable Acts, all of us puffed out our hairy chests as a sign of pride, because our dear friend was being recognized and rewarded on the World Stage. No honor could be too great for Dougal to receive. Dougal doesn't only live the high life though, he has remained grounded (very close to the ground), and still talks with ordinary folks too! *big smile*
Throughout Dougal's 14.5 years of his life, he has enjoyed many different tasty treats. He has also sampled many a Pawpawty Menu! He says: "someone had to do it." Yet Dougal's favorite food to nom is the humble chip, as in fish-n-chips. Let me be more specific: Fish-n-Chips by the Sea! (Maybe all these chips are one of Douglas secret beauty tips: oil from the chips bring a shiny tangle free coat! ) Above all, Dougal enjoys the beautiful After-Chip-Breath! (I believe Dougal is willing to demonstrate his Chip-Breath ability at any time requested.)
For all young pups reading this story, learn from Dougal and copy his strength of mind and body. Instead of man-up, I say to all pups = "Stand up and Dougal Up!"
But the "Piece de Resistance" for FrugalDougal is his absolute love of running free along the wet shores of his beloved England! Salty wind in his flowing hair, his face splashed with salty specs of cold ocean waters! Ahhhhh, at this very moment Dougal is more alive than ever! This is what Dougal's life is really about! This IS Dougal the Dog!
On behalf of all Anipals, Dougal it is our Privilege and our Honor to call you "friend." You are in a League all of your own and we humbly Salute you! *humbly bows to FrugalDougal* Dougal you have changed our lives, motivating us to open our hearts and follow your lead in helping needy animals around the globe. Individually, may we always remember the kindness you have taught us.
Dougal also takes great pride in his most successful "Lessons of Knowledge" that he has imparted to his Staff. Lesson 1) the official way carrots and peppers must be chopped to release their true flavors; Lesson 2) the importance of selective prowess in deciding which chicken to chase (example: gift chicken toy is the correct type of chicken to be chased); Lesson 3) the purrfected positions for a purrfect nights sleep = on the mama's bed, with his bottom in-line with Mom and Dads faces; or, for something novel: horizontal between Mom and Dad. Both sleep positions assure the purrfect nights rest !
Young Pups please study and learn from Dougal's life's work, what his Mom calls "his adorable little begging face."
Above everything else, you have taught us, "love can change the world!" In your own words: Love can change the world if enough people share the same love and hope and no-one should ever underestimate what a little dog can do."
On behalf of all Anipals: "Dougal, we are honored to be your friends and sincerely wish you all the very best of life, and may your legacy of generosity continue to grow and inspire.
Dougal, we love you! XXX
*all glasses raised* "Hurray for Dougal!"

Dougal, you're an inspiration to all that come in contact with you. Thank you for all that you do! grrlysquirrel
ReplyDeleteDougal Happy Birthday, You are a inspiration and I am happy to call you my friend. Thanks for all the wonderful things you do.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see such an inspirational doggie honored - I'm always so proud when a tweet comes in from Dougal calling me "mai pal".
ReplyDeleteAs well as being such a friendly, mischevious, personality-packed little character, Dougal's work for great causes is phenomenal, and there's no doubt he's the reason many animals are alive and living happy lives today.
He's also the provider of a lot of fun and entertainment to his anipal and human friends, and, as the pictures show, he's a style icon and a fashion leader, too.
Thanks also to Dougal's Mom and Dad for allowing the rest of us to have a little share in him - I hope they know how much we appreciate that, and how much we all love him.
Have a wonderful #Dudefest, Dougal - and thank you so much for being mai pal.
With much love,
@Aislinnye24.

ReplyDeleteDear Dougal,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I can add this comment to tell you how pawsome I think you are. I have been inspired by your energy in trying to make life better for animals that are less lucky than you are.
Even though you now get lots of help for your pawpawties, I always see you doing more than anyone else in organizing them, donating to the charities and working during them. I am sure you do lots of behind-the-scenes work that we don't even know about.
You've inspired me to help with pawpawties and to keep trying to do more. Thank you for your inspiration and for being a friend.
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.
It's an honor to put my paw here wif all da other anipals and let you know you have made a difference to so many anipals! I raise my glass to you and to many pawpawties to come. Big hugs from my mum and a headbump from me! Hugs and purrs.

Everything you do is absolutely amazing and shows that a single idea can make a huge difference in so many people's lives!
Cheers my pal!
