An Award and an Awe Moment

In keeping with my new motto of trying to stay up to date on awards when I receive them, I'm here to share one of two wonderful awards that have been bestowed on us in the last couple of weeks.  The one I'm sharing today is the  "One Lovely Blog Award"  and it comes form Sue over at Talking Dogs . Thanks for thinking of us.  If you haven't visited Talking Dogs yet it is a definite must. Not only does she share stories of her lovable duo Jeffie and Rudy which sometimes may involve Skeeter her cat, but she also spreads the word for pet adoption and you won't want to miss her Dog Song Saturdays.  To top it all off she has some of the most amazing hand made pet inspired jewelry to offer at For Love of a Dog which supports numerous dog rescues. Having designed custom made bracelets for Rachael Ray and Ryan Gosling, these works of art are mostly one of a kind.

The rules -

* Thank the blogger  bestowing the ward and provide a link back to their blog.
* Share 7 things about yourself
* Share the award with 7 other bloggers

Seven things about me

1. I love salty and savory junk food snacks like chip and dip, popcorn, hickory sticks and I'm right up there with Goose and Puddles 'cause I love Cheetos anything!
2. I used to love scary movies, but as I've gotten older I find I can't watch them anymore.  There too scary!
3. I love to cook and I love to eat. (hmmm....could be a problem)
4. It used to drive me crazy because my Mother was a pack rat.
5. I am now a pack rat.
6. I love the old classic movies from 1937-1960.
7. I think I was born in the wrong era, which could explain #6.

Now pick 7 other bloggers to pass the award to.    I always hate this part because it is so hard to pick just a select few out of all the wonderful blogs I read.  But here's my list.

My Brown Newfies
Urban Hounds
Life in the Dog House
My Girlz Got Paws
Gospel of Goose
What Remains Now
Rumpydog

So there they are in no particular order and I don't want anyone of them to feel pressured by this award.  I know blogging takes a lot of time on top of daily life.  So I won't tell if anyone cheats! :)

I hope to get to the award we received from Daisy over at Everyday Adventures in Havachon Heaven in the next week.

Now, on to my "awwwwe" moment.

Yesterday I was working in the kitchen when I heard Fred start whimpering.  This wasn't his spoiled "quit ignoring me and come pet me" whine, this was a heartfelt whimper.  So I went looking for him and found him staring at something in the spare room.  It was one of our regular pillows that I stashed there so hubby can use it if he goes out to the couch if Freddie's keeping him up.  At first I thought there was a toy under the pillow or something, but soon realized he wanted the extra pillow to lay on.  I carried it out to the living room. He followed me and climbed right up onto it when I put it on the couch.  I know I seem to be emotional right now but it really did tug at my heart.


Awwwwe!

Then of course his side kick joined him.

  
Double awwwwe!!

Just a guess, but I think he likes being propped up on pillows as it must take some of the pressure off of his hips.

Oh, and don't tell my hubby that Freddie slobbered on his pillow!

Have a terrific weekend everyone!!

P.S. - If you love Johnny Depp. Pop over to my daughters blog Yee Wittle Things.  She's having a giveaway for a Dark Shadows Blue-ray combo pack!  That's his new movie that just came out October 2nd.  You can click here to go and enter. Good luck!

  2. Congrats on the awards!! That's hilarious that you're now a pack rat like Grandma was! Like mother, like daughter ;) Uh oh...what does that mean for me??

    And AWWWW is right! That's so cute that he wanted the pillow. I bet it does feel good on his hip and help relieve some pressure. Whatever works for him and makes him comfy :) I might have to break the news to dad about "his" pillow during Thanksgiving dinner...when his belly is full and he's content lol ;)

  4. Congrats on your award and thanks for thinking of me. I'm not too good at re-posting those awards (computer challenged :) but I will give it a whirl.
    Freddie does have his momma trained, but heck that's what mommas are for--right!! getting the comfy pillow for them. Gotta admit early this a.m. gracie was cold and whining, so I threw her into bed with us, didn't take her long to snuggle under the covers and make herself right at home. YES, whining does work :)

  7. Congratulation on the award. Freddie wanting the pillow is so sweet and so clever. He must have felt it would make him more comfortable. Bless him, we think about him often. Poor lamb. Have a fabulous Friday if you can.

  18. Congratulations on the awards, and yes.....AWWWWWWWWW! Our Annie has a similar behavior when it comes to clean cold water. If she doesn't see the water come out of the water dispenser with her own eyes, she won't drink it and whines until the dish is filled with the fresh cold water. Normally this is fine but when she wakes me up at 2:30 in the morning to drink water, I could just about strangle her!

  31. Hey Fred, Hey Gloria, Jet here. Hi Miss Janet.

    Congrats on the awards, most deserved of course! We enjoyed reading new things about Miss Janet! (she may enjoy Mom's Kitchen Counselor blog, FB and newsletter if she enjoys cooking and eating!!!) www.thekitchencounselor.com

    We found the pillow a touching moment too... a few pulls on the heartstrings for sure. We agree, we think Freddie is super smart and know what feels better. Good for Gloria, hanging with her bro.
