Yesterday was rainy and humid, with storm warnings posted through much of the day. Thankfully the storms pushed out the humidity and we woke up this morning to a still overcast, but cool morning. Presently the sun is shining, the leaves are gently swaying on the tree outside and football is on the TV.
My favorite time of year.
It’s a perfect day to acknowledge a recent blogging award.
Our friends over at DogDaz gave us the Addictive Blogger Award. Thank you DogDaz, we appreciate you thinking of us!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a blog award if it didn’t have some requirements to go along with it. 😉
1. Thank the giver who has bestowed on us this award. Check!
2. Link back to the blog who gave you the award. Check!
3. Talk about why I blog and why I started blogging. I started blogging because I wanted to improve my writing skills I continue to blog because I really love the interaction with my friends.
4. Post the Award. Check!
5. Nominate 10 other bloggers for the award.
Just 10? Do you know how many blogs I have in my reader?
Don’t feel bad, I don’t either. I tried to figure it out last night and changed something which took me about 15 minutes to fix.
Ah technology why oh why do you tax me so?
Anyway, I digress, here are the 10 blogs I’m passing on the Addictive Blog award to.
Donna and the Dogs Just Toby – Yesterday Toby (a dog that looks eerily like Sampson) took over Donna’s blog. I haven’t stopped laughing since. This is one funny dog. I. Kid. You. Not.
I Still Want More Puppies – Between her stories about Bella, her punny pet names and her Friday linkage, I dare you not to enjoy this blog.
Life With Desmond – It’s always an adventure with Desmond, my favorite story was when he somehow managed to get out of the back yard, causing Lauren to run frantically around the block in her slippers.
Mazzie Takes Manhattan – What can I tell you about Mazzie, she’s living the posh city life (her assistant takes her EVERYWHERE) and she’s sharing it with us.
My Imperfect Dog – Look at Silas, he is just the cutest dog. His humans are adjusting to life with a dog and all the zaniness that goes with a fearful guy. They’re doing an awesome job.
My Brown Newfies – Picture Delilah twice the size. Yup that would be Jen and her dog Sherman (or is it Leroy?) I can never remember which one is her trouble-maker. 🙂
Rescued Insanity – Kristine gives all of us with crazy dogs hope. The amazing progress she’s made with Shiva makes me forget that her tagline is “Have you ever seen a tornado on a leash?”
Something Wagging – Pamela is learning a whole lot from her Golden Retriever, Honey. Similar to my learning from Sampson and Delilah, except she’s learning quicker and she a whole lot more articulate than I am.
Thecvillean – This blog is witty. If you don’t think so, then just check out one of his posts where he responds to his spam. Priceless.
This Is My Beautiful Life – A new blog I recently stumbled upon, a twenty-something pondering the realities of her life, throw in a bunch of sass and a few swear words and you’re talking my kind of blog. Hilarious!
I have a couple of other awards, but can see this post is getting long, so I will save those for another day.
I hope you enjoy reading some of my favorite blogs as much as I do.
i’m glad you posted this…i have only read one Blog..and it’s yours… BTW…i used the comment button to post instead of reading comments link, and i was still signed in…lol i learned something today…probably more then one…lol just wanted you to know about the sign in thing…. im going to read the other blogs…how did your contest work? lol it was fun watching for sure…
Thanks Deb, I’m glad it worked for you. The more I think about it though, I really believe every blog has some type of sign. It has to do with spam.
Congratulations on your award that is by the way very true of your blog! I always enjoy reading about your adventures with Delilah and Sampson.
Thank you Misty, I’m glad people like reading about our adventures!
Congrats! Well deserved!
Thank you! 🙂
Aww, thanks for the blog award! I’ll get my act together and respond a la the rules tomorrow.
BTW: I think you might be having a little timing glitch with your posts, or with your scheduling. Your post is dated Sept. 10, but it’s just now late afternoon on the 9th here. (Unless you’re secretly blogging from New Zealand, in which case, sorry for outing you.)
You’re very welcome, I enjoy reading about you and Silas. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up about the timing, I went in and checked the settings. I have no idea what time zone I was posting from, but I’m in the correct zone now!
Congrats on your award, and thanx so much for passing it along to me. I will make much better use of it than Donna ever would!
I knew you would Toby, I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Congratulations on your award! You should be very proud of your blog Jodi, you do a awesome job here!
Thanks so much for honoring us with this award:) You have a wonderful list of blogs there and I am elated to be among them!
Leroy is the trouble maker, Sherman is the angel:)lol! just think Badd Badd Leroy Brown!
Thanks Jen, it means a lot to me! I can remember Badd Badd Leroy Brown, I love that song! LOL
You’ve got an awesome blog yourself, I’m actually quite addicted to it. 🙂 Congrats!
Congrats on your award! Very well deserved!
Thank you and congratulations to you as well. 🙂 I notice she awarded it to you as well, (if she didn’t I would have.) Way to go!!
I am very far behind…lol…I did not know.
THANK YOU Jodi!!!! I’ll let Mazzie know ASAP and tell her to get cracking on her response post. It makes me so happy to hear you characterize her life as “posh” given her history!
Congratulations! Your blog is awesome and I love readng it.
I am so honoured you shared your award with me. Thank you. I am so so glad that SOMEONE is getting some enjoyment out of my mixed up and crazy life. I’m loving writing about it.
I am insanely late swinging by (September became something of a lost month for me) but I wanted to say thank you!
Your award is much-deserved – I love your blog!
