Thankful and Flattered

We told her.

"Moma!  The sun's shining in our eyes!

Do we really have to do this?"

And she told us

"Yes.  It'll only take a second if you cooperate.

And I'll give you all a treat when we're done."

So.

We complied.

(We'll do most anything for a treat.)

We posed for a sort of

Family Thanksgiving Portrait

with all our wheelies

and the wheeless

Winston.

Our Patriarch.

Of course.

Now that we've done this.

You can't tell it's a Thanksgiving portrait.

You can't see the wooden pumpkins.

Or the cornucopia filled with carved wooden fruit

that make wonderful toys.

Almost as good as tennis balls.

And the wheelies sort of blend into the background.

But that's maybe okay.

Because we haven't even properly introduced any of them

Except, of course,

Winston.

But we did get our treats.

And they were wonderful.

They always are.

You must know by now.

We are rather

modest

shy

and

humble

Wire Fox Terriers.

Live Wires.

Two Special Wires

(as per Moma.)

We love our new lives.

We love our family

and

We love our friends.

That's all it takes to make us happy.

(Well, the good food

occasional treats

walks

warm comfy beds

and

belly rubs and scritchies

all help.

All those are things

we didn't have before.)

But when we get Extra Special Acknowledgement

It makes us feel lucky and proud.

And we got that

Extra Special Acknowledgement this week.

We were nominated by our friends and mentors Martha and Bailey
with the nomination seconded by our trainers Agatha and Archie

to receive the Awesome Blog Award

by Dogs With Blogs.

Wow.

We are flattered.

And appreciative.

We feel every blogging doggie deserves this recognition

because we get joy

and inspiration

and a lot of good laughs

from every blog we read.

Being part of this community

has been a privilege for us.

It has encouraged us

Introduced us to new opportunities

Reinforced us

Made us laugh

Made us cry

And given us a chance to have a voice.

If you feel so inclined to vote for us

here

(you must be registered to vote)

That would be nice.

But whether we win or not

Doesn't matter.

Really.

It's the fact that we were recognized

as being worthy

that makes us so proud and happy.

Mostly we want to take this opportunity

This week leading up to American Thanksgiving

to say

We are so thankful for our Friends

And for this amazing Site

that allows free Expression

and sharing of Love

all around the World.

Thank you

Dogs With Blogs.

Thank you Friends.

This Thanksgiving will be more special

because of you.

And we hope it's special for everyone else.

All of our Friends.

Love


and
