Description
Hello! My name is Girlie and I'm a Feel Good mascot for Animal Friends! I love to travel round the world and help out animals where I can, but my favourite thing to do in the whole wide world is to relax with my good friend Cracker the Dog. Together we like to bring you news on worldwide animal welfare and how Animal Friends is making a difference.

Ask Cracker and Girlie

Hello everyone. I haven’t blogged in a while as Cracker and I have been busy brushing up on our knowledge about the health and behaviour of cats and dogs. Of course, being the wonderful cat that I am I already knew quite a lot but Cracker had to learn a few things; silly dog. Suffice to say, he is fully up to speed now.

The reason we have been fine tuning our know-how is because we have a newly-added ‘Ask Cracker and Girlie’ section on the blog. As mascots for Animal Friends Pet Insurance we receive all sorts of questions from pet owners about their furry companions ranging from minor health queries to major behavioural issues and so both Cracker and I have created this page in the hope that we can help.

If you have a question for us or would like to see some of the questions and answers already posted then you can head to the new section here. That’s all from me for now folks but I’ll be back next week with a little update on what myself and Cracker have been up to. Au Revoir.

Animal Friends reaches massive milestone!

Cracker and I are so excited! Have you seen the news? Animal Friends has managed to reach their three-quarter milestone in the £1 million challenge – that means we’ve donated £750,000 to animal welfare charities and only have £250,000 to go before we reach our goal! Oh, this is such great news; Cracker and I have been working non-stop to spread word of the great work that Animal Friends does for the animal welfare world and now we can see how well it is working.

We don’t just give toys to policy holders – Cracker and I are a very important part of the Animal Friends team. We are the face of the £1 Million challenge, and as the stars of the television advert we get so much press – the pressure really is on us to look our best and make sure everyone knows about Animal Friends Insurance. We also visit charities and make sure they receive their donations – Cracker is often so engrossed in all the work that the charity does that he never wants to leave; when we have so many charities to visit he makes it difficult to fit them all in to our travel plans!

An Update From Girlie The Cat

Hello everyone. It has certainly been very hot these past few days hasn’t it?! Fresh from the release of mine and Cracker’s online Easter game we decided to go to the beach yesterday. I made sure that we took a parasol to stick in the sand and keep us cool as well as pet-safe sun cream. I also took along some towels because whilst Cracker might be able to go and swim in the sea all day and then simply shake himself off, I am not so lucky and need to dry myself properly.

Now since the release of our TV advert back in January we have steadily become more and more famous, with a few people here and there recognising either myself or Cracker. However, since the release of our very own online computer game we have been getting recognised all the time. I must say that I am loving all of the attention but Cracker doesn’t seem to even notice. I wore my sunglasses and a sophisticated hat to disguise myself and keep me protected from the sun and it seemed to help.

Play Our New Online Easter Game

Oh that Cracker the dog gets me so mad sometimes!

There I am trying to promote feel good welfare for animals around the world, and he suddenly gets all excited about Easter! We decided that we want to get the Animal Friends Pet Insurance name out there, and that Easter would be a great time to do that. Of course, Cracker has to get over-excited like the puppy that he is and take things too far!

Well, he decided that the best way to spread Animal Friends’ feel good ethos would be to airdrop Easter eggs to everyone around the world! At first I thought it was a great idea, so I helped design the eggs and got them all looking perfect – just like me – and it seemed like we were going to be able to spread the feel good factor all over the world in no time at all!
