Basset Momma | Hey… It's Jet Here

Hey It’s Jet Here.

As a result of Mom’s work schedule, our blog hopping schedules, and our computer issues, we have not said our proper Thank You (s) and followed protocol on our recent awards.

Before proceeding with proper etiquette (vocab builder), a quick note on awards, from our perspective. When we began receiving awards and bestowing awards, we felt honored privileged and supported in the efforts we put forth. We take awards as a way to stretch our awareness of other bloggers work in addition to feeling the commraderie and passing along the good. How about you? Do you feel that awards have gotten out of hand or do you feel they are a way of saying, “good job, we appreciate your efforts, pass on the kindness” like we do?

Ok, with that said… (off my Buddy Wash Soap Box. (Green Tea and Rosemary))

Thanks to our dear feline friend, Savvy, from Savannah’s Paw Tracks for bestowing the Very Inspired Blogger Award. She calls me Big Guy (which I just LOVE) and shares her daily recovery since her family rescued her from the shelter where they thought she was unfriendly. Boy if they could see her now! She taught me paw pats and paw pumps, too!

Thanks to my blogging little sister, Poppy, from Fluffy Popcorn for sharing a 2^nd Sunshine Award. Guess what? Poppy sent us the award on the same day we sent it to her… BOL! We will thank her more tomorrow.

We will forward The Very Inspiring Blogger Award today and The Sunshine Award tomorrow. The Rules:

(1) Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them in your post. Gracias, (we live in the tropics where humans speak a great deal of Spanish), to Savvy – tons of paw pats and paw pumps!

(2) Share 7 things about yourself…

This week I reacted a little better during the storms, it was Little Miss Barkarooni who robo-barked.
I’m super excited that mango season began in our back yard this week! I’m waiting for the first fruit to ripen.
I can be a Momma’s boy sometimes.
I can’t wait to go swimming. (Mom’s waiting for my skin boo boos to fully resolve.)
I love my Scooby Doo Academy curriculum.
Nothing beats a belly rub.
I’m a great Heat fan, I’m always wearing their colors!

(3) Nominate 15 bloggers you admire (in no particular order).
