Versatile Blogger Award

We were nominated for a Blogger Award furever ago on May 25th!  (Mommy hasn't had a chance to help us post about it on our blog until now -- Bad Mommy!)

Our pawsome new blog friend Dina Dog nominated us to receive The Versatile Blogger Award.

Thank you Dina Dog. http://dogthedina.blogspot.com/2013/05/surprise.html

In the rules, it says we need to nominate 15 favorite bloggers to receive the award, and I don't think we even know 15 bloggers.  So, if  you want to play along, just say we nominated you for the Award.

The Versatile Blogger Award Rules:

-Add The Versatile Blogger award photo on a blog post

-Thank the person who presented you with the award and link back to him or her in your post.

-Pass the award along to 15 favorite bloggers. Contact the chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

-Share Seven Things About Yourself

Here we go:

1.  Grandma has a lift chair.  A lift chair is a motorized recliner chair.  She can push the remote control button to put her feet up in the chair in a reclining position or push the button to put the chair back into a sitting or even a standing position.  Well, Benji barks at Grandma ONLY when she pushes the button to put herself back into the sitting position.  He won't bark at Grandma when she reclines her feet up, only when Grandma puts her feet down.

2.  You will never guess what happened to our hula hoop. 

Mommy's niece somehow threw it on the roof of the house when she was playing with it and there is no possible way to get it down!  Mommy's niece promised to buy us a new hula hoop to replace it "one day."  We have been waiting an awfully long time for "one day" to come.  Mommy suggested we write a letter to Santa Paws and ask him to knock down our hula hoop from the roof when he stops by with his sled on Christmas Eve with his reindeer.   (Can someone please write a comment to Mommy and suggest that Mommy buy us a new hula hoop from the dollar store, because it will take furever to wait for Santa Paws.)

 

3. Speaking of Hula Hoop.  We made a musical production in our house in April. Yes, I said April and this is JUNE. And Mommy never posted it, it was her secret.  So, since it was from a happier time when our hula hoop was still on the ground -- our hula hoop is in our musical production from our outdoor scene.  So, without any further doggie doo -- we present Les Sheltie 'r ables.

 4. When Mommy is eating in the kitchen.  Benji sits on the floor to the left of Mommy.  I (Lassie) sit on the floor either under the table in front of Mommy, or I will sit to the right of Mommy.  We keep watch to see if Mommy "accidentally" drops any food on the floor for us to clean up.

5.  Whenever Mommy comes home from work, and she puts the key in the door to open the lock, the first dog's nose she usually sees when she is pushing the door open  is .... Benji!  Yes, Benji like to help pull the door open to let Mommy in the house.

6.  Benji absolutely hates it when.... Mommy takes her socks off the cheating way.  Instead of reaching down with her hand to pull off her sock, she will just rub her feet against the floor a couple of times to slide her socks off.  Benji barks like mad whenever she does this.   (I think this motion is similiar to how dog's pee and then they kick their foot in the dirt to spread the pee scent around.)  Maybe Benji thinks Mommy is gonna pee when she starts kicking her socks off and is trying to tell Mommy to go to the Restroom.

 

7. Guess what Grandma called me and Benji the other day....  Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber!   (We can take a joke -- no worries Grandma.)

Hope you enjoyed reading 7 things about us!
