A Furry Fun Award!

My raiser has been furry busy lately, and didn't ever have time for me to post this...

That's right, an award!! One of my newest friends Molly gave this award to me 2-3 weeks ago... I feel so bad for taking so long to post it!

This (as most do) comes with rules... but you now how us "bad dogs" are... I like to leave out rules :)

BUT I will follow the first one "Thank the friend who gave it to you"

Thank you soo furry much Molly, I enjoy getting awards - and this means so much too me!
In stead of passing it along to 15 bloggers like I should, I really hate leaving out every other blogger that wasn't included in the top 15...
So I'm going to pass this furry fun award on to ALL of my furry followers, that means YOU!

I'm off to play with Liberty, pictures coming in the next couple days :)

For Me?

Yesterday, while viewing a blog written by one of Toby's newest furry friend's - Stella,

I found out that I was given a "special award".

This isn't an award that will be passed around to everybody - Stella will just pick random people over time, to give it to.

I was quite surprised that I was her first pick, but I'm very happy she chose me.

Thank you so much Stella!

If you haven't already, please pop over to Stella's blog and say hi - she is somewhat new to the blogging world, and would love some new friends!

I'd also like to say a special thanks to all of Toby's friends, for being "here" for me, leaving me such heartwarming comments, thank you!

AND...

Remember the "Memory Award" I passed out to all of you guys?

I've had some wonderful blogging friends, that NOT ONLY posted the "award" on their sidebar, they also posted about it AND Toby in a blog post!

Thank you so much for excepting the award, being Toby's (and my!) friend, and leaving such wonderful comments!

Everything you guys say, means so much to me (way more than you may think!). And I know Toby would be so happy to see how much all of his friends loved him!

Thank You!

A Memory "Award"

A while back on one of Toby's posts, Lola left an interesting comment -

"Ummmm, this might be too much to ask, but Toby, do you think your Raiser would let us have a picture of the pawprints to put in a special place on our blogs if we want to. I want to have a page for special things and it would be extra special to have a remembrance of you when you're off to your new life. I haven't known you long, but I will most definitely miss you"

After reading that comment, I realized what a wonderful idea Lola had.

I've decided to call Toby's paw print stepping stone a "Memory Award" and would like to pass it on to ALL of my followers & friends.

You can put it on your sidebar, include it in a post, or do both :)

I would love for Toby's furry friends to take this award and pass it on to all their friends, keeping the memory alive.

If you would like to post about this award, I only ask that you include this 1 "rule" along with the picture -

1. One way you keep memories?

My answer - paw print stepping stone or pictures. (Yes, it's 2 - but I love doing both!)

Whether or not you are wanting to post about it or save it on your sidebar, Toby would be so happy!

Thanks to Lola for this wonderful idea!

Please feel free to expect Toby's "Award"

Vet visit, an award, and Zumba!

You read the title correct - I did go to the VET.

On Sunday I stopped eating my food and started having diarrhea - this went on 'til Monday, when I had skipped 3 feedings, my Raiser called our Area Coordinator and got permission to take me to the... VET.

The vet couldn't find anything wrong with me, but gave me a shot (which is when I fell off the table...) and sent me home with pills to take.

The following day I had my appetite back and my diarrhea gone!

We don't know what was wrong with me, but some say it might have to do with the "pollen" or maybe a stomach bug. I'm just glad I'm feeling better!

On to a happier thought - Mayzie passed along the "Beautiful Blogger Award" to me!

Thanks Mayzie!

I've seen some different rules with this award and don't know which to follow, so I'm going to just say THANKS!

I'd like to pass this award on to ALL of my followers!

On to Zumba:

Tonight was one of my last times at Zumba (a 1 hour class at the YMCA - they "exercise" to music), after Zumba my Raiser got a picture of her, the teacher, and me together. I'm sure going to miss the Y!

Birthday! Awards! Gifts! Pictures! ... FUN!

Well, most (if not all) of you guys know that today, yes TODAY, is my FIRST BIRTHDAY!!
"Happy Birthday to me..."

I had a busy birthday, starting off with a (long) Easter petting zoo/pony rides! (I even got to meet the Easter bunny!). My Raiser did pony rides - I was watching her the whole time, it sure looked like fun!

After the petting zoo, we drove over to puppy class (yes, with horse trailer & all!). And I got to do puppy class on my birthday, I had lots of fun. My Raiser did have to hand back the harness... but we enjoyed it while we had it!

All through out puppy class, I was handled by another lady (and My Raiser handled Duchess), I did MUCH better than last puppy meeting and my Raiser was proud.

After doing many distractions with treats/balls/flags/children/brooms/extra, my Raiser's dad got a horse & llama out for all the puppies to see! That was a big hit...

We then headed home after puppy class, I was quite tired, didn't even know I still had gifts waiting at home!

Later on, my Raiser let me open my gifts, then she took me into the kitchen to make DOG TREATS, homemade dog treats! (recipe came on my birthday card from SEGDI - my school). While they cooked, My Raiser took me outside in the 2+ acre fence (complete with the mud puddle...), I played with my new toy, old toy, and the people!

Coming back inside I got FRESH dog treats, then got a extra (not much) helping of supper. Now I plan on going to sleep...

Busy day, right?

The gifts I received are: A pawesome throw toy from my Raiser, a cool "spa" gift set from my Raiser, 2 really tasty gift bags from people in puppy class and a cupcake from another Raiser!

P.S. Lola & Booker Man (maybe others - I don't remember!) passed along these pawesome awards to me (thank you!) - I will hand them out to other people in another post - as my Raiser wants to go to bed soon! Thanks guys for the awards, I love receiving things!

(Note from Raiser - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBY - I LOVE YOU!")

Thanks "mom"!


All photos have been put in a smile box slide show (I will post a "making cookies" one later on) I would have posted all the photos, but that takes quite a while!


Hope everyone had a great Saturday,


I AM A WHOLE YEAR OLD!
