People get to know each other by sharing.
Case in point, about 6 weeks ago I met my friend Margaret at a baby shower. You may remember me speaking about Margaret (and her awesome dog, Chase) in this post.
When I ran into Margaret she gave me a warm hug and said, “I feel like I know you so much better because I read your blog.”
No matter how or what we write about, we end up sharing bits of ourself. What I have learned about the awesome people who share my blogosphere is that they are kind and very generous.
When I wrote my post about the Kreativ Blogger and Liebster Award I also said I had another award to share with you. I know you have all been on pins and needles waiting for it, so without further ado, I will reveal that I have been given “The Collie’s Choice Award” from my dear blogging friend Misty Shores Chesapeakes.
If you haven’t checked Misty out yet you should pop over and see what she’s up to. Her sweet Chessie, Riva recently had a litter and Misty decided to keep two of the pups! I can’t believe it either, I thought housebreaking, training and raising one puppy was tough!
Ok, truthfully Sampson was an easy dog to housebreak and raise. I can’t complain about HIM.
Delilah on the other hand, well good lord you can’t imagine the things she’s gotten into these past three days. I will simply say, we are down to our last half stick of butter and leave it at that. Actually I do have more to say, but I am saving that for my Follow-Up Friday post, when I update “Death by Chocolate.”
Sooo.. on to the Collie’s Choice Award, you may have noticed the badge in the side-bar, I had never heard of the Collie’s of the Meadow before being bestowed the award. I just popped over there and read an account of a re-enactment of Custer’s Last Stand; Collie style. Somehow I think it was fabricated JUST a bit, but I’ll leave that up to you to decide.
The Collie’s Choice award is given to “The Best of the Net.” If you’ve been given the award you are encouraged to pass it along.
That’s it. No other rules. No sharing of intimate things. No linking to past posts. Just pass it along.
I’ve given this a lot of thought and I have decided to pass the award along to Kristine at Rescued Insanity.
If you’ve been around the blogosphere at all, chances are you read Kristine’s blog or you’ve seen a well thought out comment with her name next to it.
If for some strange reason you’ve never heard of Kristine, well I can truthfully say, you don’t know what you are missing. Kristine works extensively with her dog Shiva and in MHO they are both serious blog stars. If you enjoy Delilah’s stories, well you will enjoy Shiva’s just as much.
Thanks once again to Misty Shores.
Congratulations! It’s one thing to win an award from a person. But being chosen by collies is really special!
Great choice to pass the award on. I love Rescued Insanity. Kristine is fabulous.
It was a tough decision, but she truly deserves it.
Congrats on your award! You made a great choice to pass it on to Rescued Insanity. I have this one to pass on as well. 🙂
You are very welcome and you deserve it! I love reading your blog and your friend Margaret is so right about knowing people better because of their blogs. I really never thought I would get so much out of blogging, I’m glad I did it 🙂
I’m glad you liked the Collies, I love to read what they are up to and it is always something new 😉
I popped over to Rescued Insanity, what a great blog she has also, I love your choice for the award.
Congrats on your award! And I totally agree, you can really learn so much about a person by just stopping by their blog every once in a while! ^_^
Great choice for the award! Rescued Insanity has some great stories that are always entertaining. 🙂
Congratulations on the award!
Yes, we get to know our blogging buddies quite well as, over time, we reveal little bits of ourselves in every post we write . . . my hub said he feels like he knows some of you when I mention you!
Going over to check out Rescued Insanity’s blog now.
Thank you so much Jodi! I am so touched that you thought of me. The kindness of other bloggers has been so overwhelming.Your words really mean a lot to me and I will try to use them to aid in fighting some of my personal demons. I can’t believe I used to be so scared of reaching out to others online. Pet bloggers really are full of awesome.
Sadly, I don’t work as extensively with Shiva as I used to but am working on changing that in the New Year. Operation Get That Handstand On a Cue!
Congratulations on your award! I am looking forward to hearing about what happened to those other sticks of butter!
Congrats on another award! You and Kristine are two of my favorites. I’m terrible at following up on awards but they are a nice way to bring our community together.
