I am thankful that the DogDaz blog was nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by a cat lady “in training,” wine drinking runner, who hates brussel sprouts, Magdalena Vandenberg. She is a writer with a wonderful zest for life. Please do go visit her blog and say hi! Thank you very much Magdalena, you brighten our blog with your connection to us.
The Very Inspiring Blogger Award Rules
1. Display the logo on your blog – Done
2. Link back to the person who nominated you – Done
3. State 7 things about yourself
♥ My dogs get away with much more than I should let them. But they know that.
♥ I just got laid off (last Friday) after 18 years with the same company (reduction in workforce). Looking forward to new opportunities (when I get over the shock).
♥ I try to always look at the bright side of things. (see above)
♥ I smile often, but that does not mean that it is safe to piss me off.
♥ I am at my calmest when I am walking a dog or petting a cat.
♥ I love to blog and I love to read blogs.
♥ I am gluten and dairy free and have not eaten red meat (beef, pork, etc) since I was 20, though I do eat poultry and fish now. I have lots of allergies and feel much better eating this way.
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award (Only 15 – that is hard.)
5. Notify your nominees

Noel decided that she deserved a present for taking care of the cat sitter while we were gone. I was going to bring her an alligator but it did not fit on the roof rack.
When you come home from a trip do your cats have some major fights for the first 24 hours? As soon as we walked in, Nine attacked Noel, as if to say “They’re home now, so you can’t boss us around anymore!”
Happy Wednesday!
This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.

So glad you are joining me today for the Dogs N Pawz Blog Hop called Tuesday’s Tails! New posts go up on Tuesday but you can link up and post whenever you want all week long. The whole purpose is to feature cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, etc. so whenever you link up is up to you! Even pets from PetFinder, are fine. Let’s just get them all homes!
Dogs N Pawz said “I also want to encourage all of you to share each other’s Tuesday’s Tails posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and whatever other social media channels you use. The more we share the more likely we are to get the word out!”
Let’s hop to it! Today we are featuring Steven – a solid gold citizen. Just look at that happy face. He wants to spend his final few years with you.

For the whole week in North Carolina, K8 was watching the stream behind our rented condo (on a very nice golf course) for any signs of the alligators. There were signs everywhere that said “Please don’t feed the alligators, they get aggressive,” so we figured they were there somewhere. The last morning, as we were packing up in the pouring rain, he (or she) finally popped his head up to say goodbye. K8 ran around to the back to snap this shot on her iphone.
Good bye, Alligator. Thanks for coming to see us off.
