Tuesday Afternoon


Wonderful weather - warm, breezy, sometimes a little rain, sometimes a little sun. Perfect for sniffing around my little spot in the garden that my humans call "Charlie's Paddock," or for lazing on the porch and dreaming of long romps in the woods of the Grunewald with my brother Higgins, may he rest peacefully in the Great Forest Beyond. We would smell the traces of all kinds of woodland creatures going about their creature business, and jump over rocks and fallen trees, rustle through drifts of fallen leaves, wade in the little lakes and run down the paths with wild abandon. Those were the days! Now I prefer to stay on the porch.

But life is not all snooze for a blogging dog, for my dear doggie friends have once again bestowed my humble bloggie with some very nice awards, for which I express my puppy gratitude:

From Happy, an Autumn Friends awards - so very cute!



I will pass this one on to some friends' blogs in the Northern hemisphere where they are enjoying crisp autumn air and vibrantly-coloured leaves: Habca, Comet & Blu, Moxie & Izzie, Momo & Pinot, Reilly, Lacy's pals, and Tatum. Have a great autumn everyone!

...and I also wanted to give this to Essex and Deacon because they are enjoying the colours in Ohio, but somehow I missed putting them on the list!  (oh I am so embarrassed)  Sorry, collies, you have my humblest puppy apawlogies! (sniff) Do accept the award and have a great time up North!

And from those pretty collies in the Keys, the "I Love Your Blog" award. I was so dazzled by their Golden Paw when I visited their place, that they most generously awarded me with one of those, too! (I put it on the right)



This one I will pass on to some blogs I love, too, but I'm only allowed seven, so here it goes: Gaucho & Verdi, Noah and the Leuradales, Girl Girl, Josh & Jess, Secret Schnoodles, The Cat Realm, and Pacco!

Phew! It's hard trying to narrow it down, but that's the great thing about blogging awards: they always circulate and we're all making paw prints in the aether! (hmmm, I wonder if instead of 'surfing' the web, we dogs can say we're 'sniffing the fireplugs?') I'll go have a nap and see if anything comes of that thought...

What a nice afternoon. We are in the northern hemisphere but we have a totally subtropical autumn. At least it is not cold though.

Good one on your awards, you can snooze and dream away about them all.

Congrats on you two newsest awards. You are so deserving of the many awards that have been presented to you.
I am heading into the fall weather now and noticing that you are getting into the warmer weather. How I like the fall here but will not like to cold that I know is soon behind.
Thanks for stopping by the other day, it is always nice to see you.
I wanted to remind you that the paintball party is today and we don't want you to miss it. We could use you on our team for back up help.
Hope to see you soon!

I am so glad that you stopped by my paintball party. And guess what???? You were not late at all. We all were having so much fun that I am keeping the party going all night and all of Saturday. So head on back and stay as long as you like.
It was so great seeing you and I enjoyed catching up on what you have been up do.

Congratulations on your awards, Charlie. You make autumn sound pretty and fun. Oh, to have some woods to romp through. Or even a small corner of a garden. sigh.

The Cat Realm said...

I forgot to thank you for celebrating my Gotcha Day with me - it meant a lot to me and really saved the day!
Thank you!

With the weather getting warmer for you and more sunny days find a nice sunny spot outside or inside and curl up for a nice long nap.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope you get lots and lots of treats today, no tricks for such a good doggie.
Congrats on your awards! You are an award winning dog in my book!
No fair, we are getting the colder weather now and I see that it is getting nice weather for you. I guess that is fair that we share in the warm times the earth has to offer.

Sassy Kat said...

Looks like you still are enjoying the nice weather at your place. Hope your Halloween was a fun one.
