1.31.13 Thankful Thursday: I Got REALITY!

I am so thankful to receive a new award that I never saw before from Oz The Terrier.  It is called the REALITY Award.  Each letter of the award  stands for some really cool word.

reality-blog-award1

Oz, whose real name is Oscar, lives in Florida.  He looks a lot like that dog Toto from the Wizard of Oz movie, which is no accident, since it is his Mom’s favorite movie of all time.  He is a breed called a Cairn Terrier.  His favorite food is bacon, so who would not love him!  Thank you Toto Oscar Oz!

Oz in the grass Here are the rules for this award:

1) Visit and thank the blogger who nominated you – done!

2) Acknowledge that blogger on your blog and link back to them – done!

3) Answer 5 simple questions (well, I wouldn’t call them simple, but here goes…)

A) If you could change one thing, what would you change?
Louise (aka Lulu Belle):  I would change the fact that Mommy can’t walk us now because her knees don’t work.  I miss our walks really really really bad and am not happy about it.

Sofie Bear: Hummm, change?  I would change having to go to sleep in my kennel at night.  I would rather sleep right outside it: so what if I wonder and chase cats in the middle of the night.

Noel, the Christmas Cat:  I would be the only animal in Mommy’s life.  

Nine, the ManCat:  I would be a dog.  

Baby Stella:  I would raise Mommy’s bed an inch or two, so that it is easier to hide under.

B) If you could repeat an age, what would it be? Any year?
Well, we are a pretty young bunch, but I guess being a puppy or kitten at like 20 weeks was fun. (Noel 6-1/2, Louise 3, Sofie 2, Nine 2, Stella 1-1/2)

C) What is one thing that really scares you?
Louise:  Pretty much everything scares me, but especially strangers.

Sofie:  When Mommy gets mad and uses that BIG voice.  

Noel:  People  

Nine: Nothing (well maybe Louise sometimes when she growls at me).  

Stella: When anything or anyone moves.

D) What is one dream you have not completed and do you think you will be able to accomplish it?
Mommy:  I always wanted to raise a hybrid breed of dog that would be a watcher and caretaker for children.  I don’t think I will get to it this time around though.

E) If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be?
Louise:  Balto (brave and fearless)

Sofie:  A golden retriever

Noel:  I only would be me, since there is no cat better in the world.

Nine:  Houdini

Stella:  Audrey Hepburn

4) Display the award on your blog somewhere – done!

5) Nominate up to 20 blogs for the award and notify them
There are so many deserving blogs, but I think I will focus on just a few REAL Winners today.

1.29.13 Coffee’s On, Come On Over

coffe-date-phot

“I love the smell of coffee brewing. A hot cup with tons of sugar and equal portions of heavy cream or one of coffee mate’s flavour. Yum Sigh*”

Worldly Winds invited us for coffee – is that not the sweetest thing?  I LOVE coffee; the dogs, not so much.  What a fun new thing to do in cyberspace.  Thanks Alexandra.alexandra

1) How many cups of coffee per day? I hate to admit it but it is about 3 or 4 at the moment. I drink regular at about 6:30 AM and make a second cup from the same grounds at about 8 or 9.  In the afternoon, I have a cup of decaf.  In the evening I try to switch to decaf tea (Constant Comment is my fav) but sometimes just want decaf coffee to go with my gluten free cookie.

2) What is your favourite caffeine delivery system? My single cup Keurig

 3) What was your best cup of coffee? Cappuccino in Venice, Italy

4) What was your worst cup of coffee? Old restuarant dregs (I always make them brew a new pot)

mug5) What does your favourite mug say? It is red with a giant blue M&M character on it.  Before that was one that my daughter made me in some art class when she was little, no words just color, but some cat knocked it off the counter (or at least that is what the dogs told me).

6) How do you take your coffee? Non-dairy Hazelnut creamer.  Or regular non-dairy creamer with 1 sweet n’ low

 7) When was your first cup? My mother made the worst coffee in the world and I thought all coffee was those little crystals that came from a jar with hot water.  So I did not start drinking coffee until college, and even then, I preferred herbal teas.  I really got into coffee big time about 5 years ago.

 8) Have you ever gone on a coffee tea date? How cute is that.  I do drink Coffee when I am on a date with my spouse but V doesn’t drink either tea or coffee, only Pepsi..

I shall now invite a few friends for a tea/coffee date – please bring your pets if you have any.  (I think this may be the first non-animal related post that I have ever done. Wow!)  I prefer small crowds, but feel free to invite more people when you have your own dates.

1.28.13 Monday Mischief: Switched

Mom, can you solve a problem?  Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs.  Is that true?

Mom, can you solve a problem? Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs. Is that true?

Sometimes, Mom’s just have to do magic to answer the more difficult questions.

Well, Sofie.  What do you think?

1.27.13 Black & White Sunday: Gimme!

Gimme that!  It's mine!

Gimme that! It’s mine!

Doesn’t matter what the toy is, if one has it, the other wants it.  In the end, Louise usually just gives it to Sofie, since her jaw is so much stronger, she rips it away and then puts it in Sofie’s mouth.  Very interesting play my girls do.
