Today is exactly one month since I’ve been blogging and I have to say I’ve been having tons of fun. My person thinks that the more I blog, the more trouble I get into so I’ll have more stuff to write about. Maybe she’s right. I got in all kinds of trouble yesterday, but I’m still in trouble for it so I can’t write about it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I had a special surprise yesterday. One of my first blogging friends, Bassa, sent me a message that she (I think Bassa is a she) had given me two blogging awards. I’m so excited! Thank you Bassa.

Bassa is a Caucasian Shepherd who writes a daily blog and posts all kinds of cool pictures. You can check Bassa’s blog out at http://bassasblog.wordpress.com.

I don’t think I’m as sweet as Bassa, but maybe there’s a little bit of sweetness in me since I received this sweet award.

The “rules” of this award are the following:

1. Thank and link to the person who awarded you.

2. Share seven random facts about yourself.

3. Pass the award on to 5 more blogging friends.

4. Contact those friends and congratulate them!

Let’s see – what are seven random facts about me?

1.  I’ll eat anything – fruit, vegetables, meat (mmm), dog food, plastic (yes, even plastic) – except olives. I hate olives.
2. I don’t like it when Scratchy scratches my nose.
3. My person won’t ever let me off my leash because she thinks I’ll run away (she’s right).
4. I can jump really high.
5. I love to drag my Frisbee through the snow.
6. I rescued a little dog from a coyote attack once.
7. I’m a home wrecker (well, maybe just doors, blinds, and washing machines) – (My person made me put this last one in – she said I’d have to get off the computer if I didn’t).

So much for my random facts. Now I need to pass on the awards to five blogger friends. There are two that deserve special mention, but Bassa already beat me to giving them awards. They are Rumpy Dog at http://rumpydog.wordpress.com/ and Bones at http://bonesdiary.wordpress.com/. These are two great dogs with really fun blogs. So, the special moment. My awards go to:

Lola doesn’t get to write on her person’s blog very often, but her person loves to write and has great coffee mugs. Lola visited my home town one time and she reads my blog a lot and comments on it. You can find Lola and her person at http://sharyhover.com .

Tiffany Dickerson writes about her faith journeys and they’re fun to read. She really made my day when she was one of the first to subscribe to my blog. You can find her at http://thewriteplacethewritetime.wordpress.com.

Sandra Branum writes some cool poetry and stuff. Her blog is at http://sandrabranum.wordpress.com.

Iowa Dog Blog is a new friend and has great pictures and stories about the dogs. You can find them at iowadogblog.wordpress.com

Stealing Faith is a great blog that one of my person’s friends writes. It’s really funny and fun. I don’t even know if she reads my blog, but that’s okay. Her blog is at http://stealingfaith.com/.
Congratulations to my 5 blogger friends. You fully deserve these awards!

To pick up the awards you should:

• Thank and link to the person who nominates you.
• Share seven random facts about yourself.
• Pass the award to five more blogger friends.

It’s been really hard for me to write all this serious stuff, but my person told me if I didn’t do it I would be in deep trouble.
