Pets on the Red Carpet

You read the title correctly, it actually says PETS (as in animals) on the red carpet. Which red carpet, you ask? Well, you'll have to check out the video to find out. Like I said yesterday, you won't find anything like this anywhere else. You can only find it at TheFind (and all the social video sites we posted it to, but you get what I mean). This video is brought to you by TheFind. There, is that better? ;o)

We promise you that this is THE gala event of the year! And you're seeing it here first.

Without further ado...here are ThePets of TheFind:

PLEASE let us know what you think of our video by leaving comments, passing it on to your friends & family, rating it on YouTube, and more! Please feel free to add this video to your own blog or MySpace as well. Click here to go directly to YouTube.

Happy Viewing/Rating/Sharing,

It May Not Be the Oscars, but...

It's coming soon...the gala event of the year! You haven't seen anything like this before and it's brought to you by TheFind. It's true, the Oscars will be here Sunday and that's a huge yearly event! Some will say it's THE event of the year, but we're here to tell you that there's something else. Stay tuned because tomorrow's the BIG day! I can't give you any details yet, but I promise to give you the whole scoop tomorrow. Trust me, Perez Hilton doesn't even have word on this one. But, he will. ;o)

Until tomorrow,
Payton
