5.23.13 Thankful Thursday: Miss Harper Lee

super-sweet-award1

Last week I was honored by Miss Harper Lee of thek9harperlee, with a wonderful Super Sweet Blogging Award.  That was, should I say… super sweet of you Miss Harper Lee.  Thank you very much.

Miss Harper Lee

The rules for the Super Sweet Blogging Award are simple:

  • Thank the Super Sweet Blogger who nominated you.  Thank you thank you thank you Miss Harper Lee
  • Answer five super sweet questions. Below
  • Include the Super Sweet Blogging award image in your blog post. Done.
  • Nominate a baker’s dozen bloggers (that’s 13, for those of you who don’t cook or visit the pastry shop) Below

  • Notify your nominees on their blogs. Ok, I will do my best to be timely about this.

Super Sweet Answers:

1. Cookies or Cake? It is definitely Cookies around here.  Gluten and Dairy free people cookies (which actually can be very tasty, if you buy or make the right ones) and dog cookies (Sofie will only eat them if they have molasses or peanut butter in them – Lulu will eat anything). Every night before bed.

2. Chocolate or Vanilla? Though chocolate is a very nice flavor, and a great sauce over ice cream, I love vanilla.  Vanilla beans, vanilla syrup, I love vanilla!  My Mom used to buy vanilla syrup when I was a kid and I would put it in everything.

3.  What is your favorite sweet treat?  Now this is hard.  I used to love M&M candies, plain or peanut.  Pretty much anything M&M.  But I am not allowed to eat them anymore.  So, I would say my favorite sweet treat now a days is a Tofutti’s Marry Me non-dairy ice cream bars. “Find full-bodied vanilla made with organic sugar partnered with rich, deep organic chocolate coating.”

4.  When do you crave sweet things the most? I always want cookies when I am having my evening tea, but I crave sweets the most when I am stressed (who doesn’t?)  The animals don’t know sweet, so it is more a human thing, I think.

5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be?  I call Lulu ‘Brownie,’ because she has these beautiful dark brown stripes under her black coat.  Sofie is my ‘Gummy Bear,’ because she is so chubby cute you want to squeeze her.

Now to name the BAKER’S DOZEN NOMINEES:

I am going to start with a food fight and throw the cupcake at

(1) thecatfromhell
(2) The Misadventures of Misaki
(3) Sugar, The Golden Woofs
(4) Speedy the Cheeky Rex Rabbit
(5) bumpyroadtobubba
(6) Cupcake Speaks
(7) Dakota’s Den
(8) AnimalCouriers
(9) Long Life Cats & Dogs
(10) My Three Moogies
(11) Dogs N Pawz
(12) Jones Natural Chews
(13) Expressions In a Teacup

FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Choose your confection and start throwing.  Thanks for the fun, Miss Harper Lee.

5.17.13 Follow Up Friday: Dogs & Guineas

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog.  This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).

Blogfriends really liked the Sunday picture of Sofie and wanted to see the original.  So here they are together.  You know, I take it back but that is not in the yard by the forsythia bush, it must be down by the river because that is the crazy wild bamboo.  🙂

She is so alert sometimes.  I actually saw her point today by lifting her front paw like Louise does.  I think they mimic each other sometimes.

There was incredible Mischief on Monday down by the river.  The dogs were losing their minds because their were pairs of ducks on both sides of the pier.  The ducks just kept swimming and the dogs were running from one pier to another.  Ultimately they did run down the boat ramp, but I called them back because the Magothy River just received an F (as in Failure) for water quality (Vital Magothy River Water Grasses Vanish) and I worry that they will get sick. Last year, while fixing the Osprey platform, one of my neighbors dogs spent to much time in the water and got very sick.  I hate what is happening to the environment.

I focused on critters on Tuesday’s Tail to get animals adopted. Don’t you just love Guinea Pigs?  We so miss our crew.   With 5 pigs, 3 cages, and every day run-arounds in the pig pens, it was a big job but they were worth it.

Thankful Thursday, I left to go get Peanut at college in New York and we won’t be home until Caturday.   I am very excited and I know all the animals will go crazy when she gets home.  The animals just seem to relate differently to younger humans.  It is almost as if they treat them more like siblings.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for playing along with us.  Check out the hop below and you can go play with others.

5.14.13 Tuesday’s Tails Blog Hop: Critters

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!”
TuesdaysTailsBlogHopOfficialBadge_zpsb5025ffe

Let’s hop to it!  Today we are focused on some Guinea Pigs and a Wabbit (bunny rabbit).  Guinea Pigs normally only live 4 to 6 years, so let’s get these babies in homes quick. You know how much we miss our little piggies and wish we could have some, but, alas, I think Louise and Sofie would not like that at all.
