Grand Dog Sitting . . .

 

We have been
"Grand Dog Sitting"

Two of our grandsons
were out of town
this past weekend
with their parents
to be ushers in a cousins wedding

Hopefully I will be sharing photos
of these two handsome guys
tux attired
very soon.
Until then . . .

Meet the Grand Dogs




Note the gray hair and the paws.
Twelve years plus.
 
Great Dane Paws
isn't as frisky as she used to be.
 
Her little brother TJ is the frisky one now.

The boys named her Paws

 

 

We think TJ could fly with those ears.

 

Snickers really likes romping
with her "doggie cousins,"
when she isn't napping.

A few days before our grand dog sitting I received a

 

Surprise   Surprise

Someone grabbed me out of the air

and presented me with the

following awards.
 

Thank you Jill  

for honoring me

and thinking I

am deserving

of these three blog awards.

 

The first award:
 

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

 

I am humbled that Jill

recognized me

and that she feels

I inspire others.

 

Humbled indeed !

The second award:

 

The Super Sweet Award

This award requires me to answer the following questions:

Cookies or Cake: 

Cookies for sure, chocolate chip my favorite

Chocolate or Vanilla: 

Chocolate

What is your favorite sweet treat: 

Local McDonald's Candy

chocolate covered pecans

Unbelievably the best!

When do you crave sweet things the most? 

Well I crave something sweet probably

every day but treating myself . . .

I (try) to discipline myself.

If you had a sweet nickname what would it be? 

Hubby calls me "dear," does that count?

 

And last:

 

 

The Addictive Blog Award

The rule for accepting this award is to link back

to the person who gave me the award

and to explain

why I began blogging.

~ 
My friend Barbie was blogging.

I turned up my nose at it all and said

"why would you want to do that?"

 

Occasionally she would mention

something she had seen

on a blog

something she heard

on a blog

and

then it was

"look what I made,

so and so, on such and such blog

taught me how."

 

Curiosity caught hold of me

and one day I asked Barb

to show me

HOW

and that did it,

Irish Garden House

was born in May 2011.

 

In passing this on to others

I realize there are some of you

who don't accept blog awards.

No pressure here,

let me know if this isn't your thing.

 

The only rule for accepting is to link back to me

to tell me how and why you

began blogging.

 

Impossible to choose JUST five blogs.  

But these are the rules.

 

The following blogs are my more recent visits. 

What a wealth of inspiration and creativity there is in blog land.

I love blogging and meeting each and every one of you.

Thank you again Jill for giving me these awards.
