The Rules for this award are:

ONE: Share something about you, alphabetically!  Just a word or two about you starting with each alphabet letter!

TWO: Nominate worthy bloggers for this award, no limit how many you forward it to.

Here is the A-Z of DogDaz dictated by Louise and Sofie to Mommy:

A : America, that is where we live.  We are just a couple of American Mutts.  We live in a beautiful part of the country on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Mommy says it is a little piece of paradise.  We have never been to paradise but we figure she knows what she is talking about.

B : Beaver, Sofie’s lovey.  Mommy actually bought it for Louise the day that Sofie came to live with us, but Sofie decided it was going to be hers (which she decides about most things).

C : Cats, we now have 5, which we think is entirely to many.  There should be more dogs than cats, but they seem to always get their way around here.  But, the blog is called DOGDaz, so I guess we do win sometimes.

D : Ducks, which like to swim in our pool, which we do not appreciate, but it gives us something to bark at.  Mommy let’s us actually bark at them but they do not seem to fly away even when we get real close.

E : Earth, we like to dig in it and move it around, a lot.  We think that we are excellent gardeners except nothing seems to grow in the spots we dig holes in.  We are not sure why.

F : Food, we love to eat especially cat food and anything we are not supposed to eat.  The chicken that Mommy makes us for training treats is our favorite.

G : Grass, we like to poop in it and run around on it and Sofie likes to roll and roll and roll in it.

H : Humans, we like our humans very much, especially Mommy and the young one.  Louise is afraid of one’s she does not know, but she tries hard to be brave when they invade her space.

I : Ice, we like to chew on cubes of it but we do not like to walk on it outside.

J : Jumping, we are not suppose to but we both like to jump up on things when no one is looking.  Sofie likes to jump on certain people and Louise only jumps on Mommy to get her attention when she has dinner and is not putting it down fast enough.

K : Kittens, we have 2 new ones, Stella and Nine, and we really like them a lot.  We actually only just met last weekend, because Mommy had the silly door closed for a long time to the room they are in and we could smell them but not play with them.  Nine let both of us sniff him today without going cat crazy.

L : Licking, we are not suppose to lick Mommy in the face but sometimes we can’t help ourselves because she tastes so good. 

M : Miss Constance Kitty, is wider than she is long, and she loves to watch fish TV.  Sofie and her have a special relationship.

N : Noel, is the top cat and she is snow white and very very large (but not fat – we did not say fat – she would kill us – and she really isn’t anyway).  Mommy calls her ‘SNoel.’  She is not always very nice to us, but I think if we stopped chasing her under the table or across the living room, she would put her claws back in.

O : Out, we love to go out: whether the yard, a walk, or in the truck for a ride.

P : Plott Hound/Labrador, which are maybe two of the breeds that Louise is a mix of (but who really knows).

Q : Quiet, what it rarely is around here.  Sofie likes to whine and bark, a great deal, Louise knows better but forgets her manners sometimes.

R : Relentless, which is what Sofie is when she wants something.  Whine, whine, whine, whine, whimper, whimper, whine, whine.

S : Shelty/Corgy, which are probably two of the breeds that Sofie is a mix of (but who really knows). 

T : The Muffin Man, our 18 year old king cat, who we like to bother on occasion just because we can.  We respect him, but we still like to nose butt him anyway.

U : URL, http://www.dogdaz.com  This is our blog and we have so much fun doing it and winning awards too!

V : ‘V,’ that is our other human, who takes very good care of us when Mommy travels (which is to often for our liking) and sneaks us real meat (which Mommy does not eat) and other fun stuff, when Mommy isn’t looking.

W : Walk, Lulu Belle loves her walk and would be sad if she missed it, Sofie Bear just comes along because everyone is going.  Usually we walk everyday with Mojo, Louise’s Lab boyfriend from next door.  Lulu says she really misses him if they don’t get to have their walk together.

X : Xanthous, similar to the color of an egg yolk, which is what color Sofie is kind of but not really, but we could not come up with an X word.

Y : Yogurt, what Mommy eats everyday and gives us the container to lick.  Yummy!

Z : Zoo, what Mommy calls the 7 animals and 5 humans that make up our life.

Here are our nominations – remember we only give to blogs we have not given to before.  Today we want to honor two Awesome photographers:

Laurie Bartolo Photography – for truly Awesome photos

Tracie Louise Photography – for more truly Awesome photos (and because her name is Louise too!)

Just a wonderful dogdaz morning dreaming about our acceptance speech ❤
