Thanks Casbah Kitten!

Isn't this nice? Casbah Kitten gave us this nifty award! We're tickled pink and if I may so, properly humbled by the gift. That said, it is about time we got an award because it has been a long time and I have been writing my paws off! (Mum says this will probably be the last award I ever get if I keep this up).

The award reads:

This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs 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 can choose eight more and include this text into the body of their award.

It was kind of hard to decide who to send the award to, we have so many bloggy friends, but here goes:

Izzie and Moxie at the Corgi Lounge (we're picking them up to go to Texas with us)
Emmitt the Pug (he is going to Texas with us)
Gerald and Janice (of the Guiness fame - they also write a delightful blog)
Howie Pee Pants (who we are staying with in Texas)
Mango (he just cracks us up all the time)
Addie and Lucy (we love puppies)
River, our Beagle Buddy
Tibby (so photogenic it should be against the law)
Wally, the one and only Corgador

I'll be back later for updates on our trip to Texas to visit Howie.

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.

This One is For You Moco!

Hey Moco Man! If you have your hooman whipped into shape and are back on the blog circuit, then you can put this up on your side bar. We love your pictures, you have a way with wally-melon! Glad to have met you and will be checking in on you!

Saints Alive!

Arrrooo! How cool are these "doggles"? I want a pair! Mum says I don't need them but who cares? I want them (he says stamping his short little legs on the floor!)!

Recognize those two saints? I do 'cause they are some of my favorite buds. You can find out about their lives at It's the Dogs Life and the competitions they are enrolled in. I just thought Saints lived on mountains and rescued skiers but apparently there is a lot more to them. The other thing that I have come to learn is that if I were standing next to a St. Bernard I would barely come up to their shoulder. That is a little bit intimidating but I could always run under them and nip their tummies. Not that I would of course! But I need to have a good defence in line just in case. (I had a bad experience with some big dogs at daycare who bit my little Corgi butt and I still get a case of the jitters around big dogs until I know them).

All that aside, the Saints would like the Dozer Web Award and we certainly think anyone who will wear doggles should get whatever they want. 'Sides, Mummy thinks they are so cute that she wants to scoop them up and give them both a big Oregon hug. (Yeah, "scoop up" two St. Bernards - with what Mum? A backhoe? A snow plow? These two are bigger than our couch! Mothers can be so out of it at times)!

We hope you guys and the rest of your family do great in your upcoming exhibitions/contests and just know we're rootin' and tootin' for you in far off Oregon!
