Creampuff and Dog Have Giant Heads

 

But neither of us give "giants head", which was my original title before I noticed the typo.

I was shocked to discover during a routine stats inspection this morning that I'm a finalist in the 2007 Weblog Awards in the Best Individual Blogger category! Ha ha - wha-? Voting is open from now until November 8th and you can vote once per category every 24 hours.

UPDATED: There are ten finalists in my category and I notice that I'm currently kicking 9th 10th place ASS right now; if you get behind me on this, people, I bet we can take this thing all the way to 7th 9th!!!!! Yeeeeaaaaaaah!!

Young Cas at Bright Meadow is a finalist in the Best UK Blog category and a little bird told me that she may also have been the source of my nomination (by "a little bird", I mean "I looked at the nominations"). Thanks, Cas!! And the lovely belledame222 over at Fetch me my axe is a finalist in the Best LGBT Blog category. So head over and vote for them too - or for whomever tickles your fancy. There are countless quality blogs to vote for! Huzzah!

I am not the only one to be honoured today - we got the news earlier this week that our own Emmy Lou had made the cut for the TNT Shar Pei Rescue calendar!! HA ha! In your FACE, other rescue dogs!! Here she is, in all her inquisitive, ham-hocky glory, next to her full page spread (we couldn't decide on a single photo to submit for the calendar).

 

This year, she's Miss April, but next year, we're going for CENTREFOLD. Yeah, lick your lips like that.

Ron

[wenders]

Whoa, it's just award central over here!
:) Congrats -- to you AND Emmy Lou!

[Aphra]

Woo!

[roro]

Ron - You are lovely. Thanks! And I hope your weekend is grand too!!

wenders - I know - it's making me very uneasy. I'm just waiting for the anvil to drop on my head to balance out the universe. I told the dog it's best to bask while one can . . .

Aphra - Hahahaaaaaa! Hoo!

[kimananda]

So, what you're saying is that, not only are you about to marry a rock star, but your dog is also a rock star! And, even more importantly, YOU are ALSO a rock star! That's so wonderful!

[Melissa]

Oh, lady, I'm so happy for all of you! November is a charmed month for you all.

[Kate]

Melissa ... I hope you are right! Because our honeymoon is during the last 2 weeks of hurricane season (ends Nov 30).

And if there is a hurricane on my birthday AND my honeymoon, I am going to be a little pissed off :)

[SassyFemme]

Congrats on the blog nod...Just went and voted for you. Congrats, too, on Emmy Lou!

[Flippy]

Wow, what a month! Congrats to all of youse. I just cast my Roro vote (and I shall vote for your friends also) at the BlogAwards, and should you need me to pick up your prize, I shall be attending the BlogWorld Expo. If it's cash, even better.

I had no idea what a famous person you were when I first started reading your blog and blogknowing you. Had I known, I surely would've worn something finer than my sweats and a t-shirt. I might've worn something with at least a zipper or some buttons.

[roro]

kimananda - Stop it, woman! You're just making my head bigger!

Melissa - I know - we are very lucky damsels. Excuse me while I go knock some wood for a couple of hours.

Katr - (sound of knocking)

SassyFemme - Thanks for voting! I told Emmy congrats on your behalf. She looked up from licking herself to say thanks too. She's all class.

Flippy - Did you ever think that it's BECAUSE you started reading my blog that I have risen to such heights? HMMM? As for your outfit, you know I don't judge, as I'm rarely wearing pants myself. I'm so jealous you'll be at the Expo - hope it's a blast!

[greymatters]

Good luck, Roro!!!!

[Cynical Knitting Gal]

Where the heck have I been? I've been sucked into the oblivion of yarny, knitty and chatty goodness (?!) that is Ravelry.

I will march myself over there to vote for you.

And, I am simply unsurprised by Miss Emmy Lou's modeling gig...she is the Shar Pei of the RoRo after all!

[Stales]

I voted for you!!! I think the posts on truffles pushed you over the top. Rock on girl! best of luck for the big wedding bash.

[Maggie]

An award winner AND a centerfold? It's like being at Arthur Miller/Marilyn Monroe household!

[SK]

i cannot believe you are not #1... have you seen those other blogs??!!
crazy.
i have
I have put in my vote... hope it helps:-))

all the best for the big day:-))

[roro]

greymatters - Thanks!!

Cynical Knitting Gal - You're hilarious. I fear Ravelry the same way I fear Facebook - once I dive in, I might never resurface. I'm so impressed that you made it out alive!!

alicia - Oh my god, the truffles! I still have some to report on (but sadly, none left to eat). Thanks for your vote and note!!!

Maggie - are you saying I look like Arthur Miller?

SK - Hahahahaaaaa! I HAVE seen the other blogs and they are all vastly different. What a bizarre and extemporaneous category! You are lovely to vote - thanks for the good wishes!!!
