My Friday Finds for 2/8/2013

HAPPY TDIF - Thank Dog It's Friday!!!!

Let's see...even though it seemed like a quiet week here in the 'Land of Oz' I still feel ready for the weekend.  Do you ever feel that way?

I want to once again thank Ruby the Airedale and Life With Beagle for bestowing the two Liebster Awards on me - which I posted about on Monday.  Thanks pals.

Oh!  I joined up at Roxy the Traveling Dog's blog for her Travel the Blogville World blog hop.  If you are a traveling dog, cat or human you may want to run over to Roxy's blog for more information.  The hop will be open ALL YEAR so you can link all your adventures for others to read.  Great idea, Roxy.  Thank you.

THANK YOU and WELCOME to some new followers on my blog:
Hawk at Brown Dog CBR
Mason at Big Stinky Dog
Ian and Sheba at Sheba's life story

Yesterday, I posted my very first Book Review.  The book is Pukka's Promise - The Quest for Longer-Lived Dogs by bestselling author Ted Kerasote.  Thank you to Blogpaws for the opportunity to read and review such a GREAT book.

And finally, Honora and Needles continue to look for their forever homes while being fostered by the wonderful volunteers at Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network AND...

there is a new Cairn in town!!!



This is Pride and he is being fostered in Pensacola, Florida.  He was saved from a breeding facility.  You can read more about him, and the other Cairns and mixes in need of a forever home, at Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network's adoption page.

Have a wonderful (and relaxing) weekend!



Thank you Heart Like A Dog and Terrier Torrent (my good pal, Gizmo) for hosting the Follow-Up Friday blog hop.

    1. Thank you for hosting Jodi! It's a great hop!

      Oh wow! Really? Thank you so much for those compliments. We worked really hard to capture South Florida without being neon-ish nor cliche (using too much turquoise and greens, or having pink flamingos). BOL

      Have a great weekend.

  3. I am afraid I no longer have my copy of Merle's Door....It went out in one of my de-cluttering phases. I don't tend to keep my books for too long. Since no one wanted it at the time, it went in the give-away pile...Sorry!
