Kreativ Blogger Award

Our dear friend at 2BrownDawgs presented us with the Kreativ Blogger Award.  🙂

This award comes with a bit of direction, the first being share ten things about yourself or your blog that people might not know.

I have to admit, I’ve really been thinking quite hard about this and since I pretty much put everything ‘out there’ I’m not real sure how this will play out, but I’ll give it a shot.  I decided to mix it up, and tell you a little bit about me and a bit about the dogs. 🙂

1.  My post last week, A Christmas Miracle was written very spontaneously, and was the first time I had ever tried a writing prompt.  I really liked the challenge of that writing prompt and intend to participate whenever I can.

2.  I have to gate off my Christmas tree because one of my dogs LOVES to pull off and chew ornaments or open packages.  I’ll give you three guesses who it is and the first two don’t count. 😉

3.  I’m a dreamer, I dream someday of becoming a published author.  My problem is I just can’t figure out how to make it happen and how to get the words out of my head and into the computer. 😦

4.  Sampson is part Labrador but he really doesn’t care for swimming.  Mostly he just likes to wade in or lie down in the water.   Occasionally he will take a quick swim, but that is it for him.

Sometimes I just like Daddy to hold me.

5.  Delilah is pure lab, she LOVES the water and would fetch a stick in the water all day if we would let her.

I can do this all day, how's your arm feel?

6.  I love to sing, mostly classic rock.  But I can’t sing.  Hubby says I am ‘tone-deaf,’ and turns the music louder when I do sing. 😦

7.  Back when I was pregnant they didn’t do ultra sounds unless there was something wrong.  I found out I was having twins 5 hours before they were delivered by c-section.

8. My hands always have to be busy, even if I am watching TV, I usually am either on my laptop, crocheting, knitting or playing solitaire.  I really struggle to just sit and relax.

9.  I’m a big Lord of the Rings fan, if you’ve been around a while you know Sampson’s middle name is Aragorn.  I have the “One” ring on a chain.  I also have the serpent ring that Aragorn wears in all the movies.  Over Thanksgiving Starz aired the trilogy, back to back to back to back to back, everytime you turned a TV on in our house, LOTR was on.  It was pure heaven.

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

10.  I think the real hero of LOTR was Samwise Gamgee, if it wasn’t for Samwise well poor Frodo probably wouldn’t have made it out of the shire.

Now comes the REALLY hard part, pass the award on to six other blogs.

In no particular order

Fabulous Flo – Flo is a Rhodesian Ridgeback who comes from the land down under.  Flo is the first experience raising a dog that her human has ever had, kick back and enjoy the ride with her.

Hound Girl – Kari lives in Texas with her Blood Hound Fred, and her Labrador Haylie, Kari says what she means and means what she says!   Mosey on down for a warm southern welcome.

Life at Golden Pines – I found this blog a while back and I love reading about Kim’s life in rural Virginia with a houseful of Goldens.  Kim is someone whose heart is as big as all outdoors, she is always reading and willing to help foster a dog looking for a forever home.

My Reality Show – Mary Ann is a writer, she recently adopted her dog Lila from the Humane Society, but don’t think this blog is just about Lila, Mary Ann is a creative writer, and there is always something interesting going on here.

Pawfect Friend – Nicole is a dog groomer and has the cutest little dog, Aladdin.  One day she will own her own grooming salon, but until then she will share her stories with us.

Shoes On The Wrong Feet – I started reading this blog not too long ago, this gal is a microbiologist and left her career to raise her two little boys, you can bet with her mind there is always something educational going on.  I’ve already learned a few things myself. :-0

That’s it folks, when you get a minute check out some of these blogs, I know you will be as much of a fan as I am.
