Hi all!! Yep – today is gonna be a cruisin’ kind of day. Mom and I DO have some work to do in prep for the Moon Trip BUT it will not be as time-consuming TODAY as it has been. Why? Because Mom is getting eyestrain (need I say more??). So today there will be napping activity on MY part – if I’m on her lap then she can’t be also at the computer because I don’t like to sit on her lap while she’s “clacking away on the keys” of the keyboard. I like nice, quiet naps on outstretched legs!
Yesterday I was honored to receive an award I don’t have (I know….imagine that!!!)………..it’s called the Lighthouse Award and I got it from my friends at Moggiepurrs! Well I love lighthouses – my Mom has painted tons of them as you well know…….but this is a really pretty award badge and I’d like to thank Moggiepurrs for sending it my way. Then I’d like to share the requirements for passing this one on – and finally I’ll PASS IT ON!
- You must thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog (done)
- You must list three ways in which you like to help people through your blog (see below)
- You may pass it on to however many other bloggers you want to – no limits (also see below!)
Here’s the pretty badge:
The three things that I really hope to do in the way of helping people with my blog are:
- Give people something to SMILE about every single day since I blog every day. The world is often an unhappy place and my goal is to “happy it up” as much as I can!
- Help spread the word when I discover a new pet blog – the world of pet blogging is constantly growing and those just starting out need our support and help!
- Maybe help those who don’t get to travel see some of the world they might not otherwise see with my every week feature “Tuesday Teasers”….I’ve been told by many people that Tuesdays are the highlight of their week because they learn something and often see something new.
I’d like to forward this pretty award to:
Friends Furrever (the Florida Furkids!)
And you just know I can’t leave today without encouraging you to NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE to join us on the Moon Trip. Last day to submit your spacesuit and other photos if you’re entering the contests is MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24th!!!
The Moon is Calling…..
Will You Answer????

Hi! Glad you like the award…..you deserve it. I love lighthouses so much…..I think I got that from my Mom! My Mom gets headaches from sitting here too long too so I MAKE her get off and use the excuse of needing a nap to do that…..then she goes downstairs and sits in her recliner and reads or something and I get the nap I’m DESPERATE for! It’s a win/win.
