Today we received an Excellence Award from our friend Rusty at Chasing Squirrels with Rusty. We have never gotten an award before, YAY! Wags, wags, purrs, purrs. Of course the award was probably more

intended for us Goldens than it was for our kitty counterparts, but we might let them celebrate with us because Mom loves them too, and we love everything she loves.

There are a few rules to accepting this award:
** By accepting this Excellent Blog Award, I agree to award it to 10 more people whose blogs I find Excellent Award worthy.
** You can give the award to more people, but please award at least 10.
** Link back to the person who gave you this award.

So here goes

1. First, we have to give the Excellent Blog Award back to our friends at Chasing Squirrels with Rusty. It is such great entertainment reading about Rusty’s adventures in keeping the backyard a squirrel-free zone. (Or so our Mom says. She loves his cute little pictures, too, especially the ones where he is sneaking up on the ducks).

2. Next we give our Excellent Blog Award to The Adventures of Spencer. Spencer is a Golden that looks exactly like one of us (Benson) and you can just tell from his sweet little face and pictures that he is a gentle and loving creature (he is a therapy dog - we always wanted to do that). He has this awesome talent where he can get THREE tennis balls in his mouth at one time! It’s SO cool!

3. We will give the Excellent Award to Dogs Aye View. Our friends Gomer and Opie in Minnesota are two adopted rescue dogs. Our Mom calls them little Heinz 57 boys because they are mutts - adorable mutts. They have all kinds of adventures with their “DogMom.”

4. Next up: Wimsey’s Blog. Wimsey is the best-looking bloodhound we all have ever seen and our Mom always says she wants to just squeeze and hug him and watch him run around (he is of superb size and shape). Wimsey lives in Manhattan and takes frequent forays into the city’s parks. He is also a show dog. 

5. Halfway done, and here comes Lab Tails. Now this human is a blessing because she has FIVE Labrador Retrievers. FIVE! Can you imagine how much their dog food costs? They have all kinds of acres to run around on and always look so happy. We want to go and visit them and run around, too!

6. Pet Strong is next on our list. There’s always something educational over there to read and sometimes there are current events postings, like pets in the news or animal welfare issues.  It’s a good blog to read and participate in our Mom says.

7. Now for another fellow Golden friend, Mogley. A Dog’s Life, the Real Story is all about Mogley the Golden and his fun life. Mogley always has so many adventures because his humans always take care of other dogs. There is usually three or four dogs there at a time and they all wrastle around and have so much fun. Mom likes to look at the pictures of Mogley and Co. when they go in the swamps and mud. We Goldens are definitely swamp-dogs!

8. Moving on, now we have The Daily Cuddle. Now this Animal Planet pet blog is strictly a photo-sharing site but I must admit the administrator always has the best pet pictures up! You can rate all the photos and submit pictures of your own to be featured on there. Our cousin Henry (the Bassett Hounds) was featured in January.

9. Now for a kitty cat blog: Daisy the Curly Cat. Daisy is a petite little kitty and her Mom always dresser her up in fun costumes. Daisy’s blog has tons of cute pictures of her and SO many people come to visit every day. Daisy even gets to go for walks in a covered stroller!

10. Finally, our Excellent Award goes to the popular Dogster’s For the Love of Dog Blog. Dogster’s has all kinds of pets in the news stories and videos for people to read. Dogster’s is inspired by four beautiful dogs!
