Oooo, look at us! (This is so self-serving it is embarressing!)

Our pal Tibby (click here to visit)

who is very famous and photogenic, posed

with our Christmas card! How cool is that?

That's it. There is nothing more to this entry other than our Christmas card showed up on someone else's blog. We know it is shameless. We're just shallow, you should know that by now.

Tibby Bingo Winner - Dozer

I know none of you are going to believe this but I did not cheat (ask Tibby) and this game was not rigged. All I ask for are bragging rights! You may ask "How can I become a winner like Dozer?" (many do ask that on a regular basis). My answer, go see Tibby at Tibby Tales.

Tibby has bingo games and you can play and get a really nifty bingo board for your blog or website. Because Tibby runs the games you know they are fair. Again, to you naysayers (and you know who you are, Cooper), I did not cheat and this is a legitimate win.

Apparently Tibby thought I should share the honor with Cooper and Dottie but at least I got top billing, as well I should. Cooper keeps rolling his eyes and farting at me which I believe carries a hidden message. Anyway, this is how my day started out, how is yours faring?

If the shoe fits - Cooper's Notes

Tibby gave us this awesome award which we are very proud to receive (we're just shallow enough to covet unearned awards to wear proudly!) As always Tibby's timing is excellent. Dozer is under house arrest because he started limping last night and is favoring his bad leg (the one that had surgery). This is, of course, worrisome, because Dozer refuses to listen to reason and wants to play fetch and jump up on chairs and do all sorts of things that are bad for his leg. Mum didn't pull out the cage but she has it as her last resort if Dozer doesn't have a quiet day. I am letting Dozer wear the award all day so he will be quiet and rest.

Mum took pictures and I will get those up later today - Dozer looks completely pathetic, which he is really good at when he wants treats. Mum says she finally got a decent picture of me with my new topknot. If Dozer would quit laughing at me I might be able to retain some sense of dignity but he keeps calling me his "Hotten Tot Topknot". Dottie keeps giggling and Mum says it is not nice to make fun of other people's appearances. Like Dozer ever listens!

I would like to pass this award on to a new kid on the blog block and hope you will visit Travis. He lives in Australia and wants to meet lots of other blogging dogs - and writers of course!

Thank you Tibby for our award and being such a neat friend. We love Tibby's header on her page because it reminds us of the great artic explore Roald Amundsen - the fur coat, the look of adventure in her eye, the black and white photography - doesn't it make you think the merry Tibster is leading the arctic adventurers to their destination? We think Roald would have had a lot more success with Tibby at the helm, although he was the first person to reach the North and South poles. But every great explorer needs a good looking dog with fashion sense, don't you agree? Of course you do!

I will sign off now because Mum is still working her desk and the front desk at work. This flu is nothing to sneeze at and Mum thanks everyone for their good thoughts - she hasn't even had a sniffle!

Love, Cooper Edwards

BINGO! I GOT BINGO! - Dozer's Notes

Look! I got Bingo on Tibby's bingo game! Whooo hooo! BINGO! BINGO! Don't you just love yelling it? Mum says I have to calm down a bit and send Tibby a note before I break something.

Now Cooper is running around the house yelling "LOSER! LOSER!" because you have to have a "T" not just a regular Bingo. He thinks he is so smart...well, apparently Tibby agrees but at least I got to yell BINGO! and I am not a loser Cooper!

Finally Something for Me! - Dozer

Tibby gave me this neat award! Isn't it just lovely? I think so. I asked Mum to find a nice gold chain so I can wear it around my neck but she just rolled her eyes and said "No". She said I am not a "gangsta" dog and one does not wear awards around their neck and that my behavior is most unbecoming. I think Mum needs to lighten up a bit, she is way too old fashioned.

This is what the award says:

"This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!" In other words, blogs that receive this award "are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

It is very hard to decide who to pass this award so I am just going throw my list together and hope anyone forgotten is not offended.
