A Heart is not Judged...

...by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. - spoken to the Tin Man, by the Wizard of Oz (The Wizard of Oz, 1939, based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum).

And boy, oh boy, do I feel loved!  Since the bginning of the year I have received several awards, the latest ones received from Ruby the Airedale and Life with Beagle.

Thank you both so much!



Ruby awarded me the Liebster Blog Award and there are a few things I have to do:
1. Thank the giver and link back to their blog
2. Share five things about yourself
3. Answer five questions presented by Ruby
4. Ask 5 new questions to your nominated bloggers
5. Reveal your top 5 blogs (with less than 200 readers) and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Copy and paste the award on your blog
7. Hope that people will forward to their top 5 blogs and keep it going

So, here are 5 things about me:
1. I live with a blue-fronted Amazon parrot named Corky and I am very protective of him
2. I hate to swim but love lounging at the edge of the pool - if it gets hot, it's a convenient water dish
3. I may be the only dog on earth who HATES peanut butter
4. I am a hoarder - keeping all my toys in and around my crate, not in the toy box
5. My favorite place to hide special treats, like pig's ears, is behind the toilet in the guest bathroom

Ruby's questions for me:
What is your favorite toy and what do you call it?
My stuffed duck (goose?).  I call him Honky.

Where is your favorite place to go on walks?
The woods...the wilderness...wherever we go hiking.



Where do you snooze during the day and where do you sleep at night?
Day - in the big papasan chair in Ma's office or the back of the couch.  Night - on the big bed with Ma and Daddy-dog.

What is your favorite treat?
My salmon bites.  However, if you are talking people food then it is obviously BACON.

Hot or cold?
Uh, have you seen me?  I am one hot dog.

OK...now on to the Liebster Share the Love award from Life with Beagle. 

The questions (there were more but I cut the list down) to answer are:

What makes you happiest?
Being outdoors - whether it's the back yard or a park.

Do you love the ocean or mountains more?
I love both.

What has been your favorite moment of 2013?
Hmmm...it's too early to tell.

What is your favorite quote?
"Properly trained, a man can be dog's best friend." - Corey Ford

Do you stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve?
Not usually however this year we stayed up until almost 1:00 AM!

    1. Bacon is the best, my pal. And hey...no one looks behind the toilet (except now Ma does to see if there are any treats back ther - BOL) so it seemed like a great place for a hiding spot. What can I tell ya...I'm nutty.
