First, let's start with this award we received from the Army of Four. Thanks Stormy, Ammy, Dave, and Zim - so nice of you to share it with us.
The rules for the award are to post it to the blog, link to the blogger who gave it to you, then list 7 things and 7 bloggers you love.Between all of us, we love blogging, visiting blogs, walkies, naptime, each other, yummy cookies, and our Mom and Dad - we could give you a lot more than 7 but we'll stick with these.
We have shared this award before with some of you and so this time around, it's fo all of you from us!!!
Our second award came from two of our favorite pups. Miss Fluffy Tail a.k.a. Khyra and Stella, a lovely pup who lives in Minnesota!!! MFT likes to refer to this award as the CheeryCherryPieLadyBug Award. It certainly does make our hearts smile. Thank you, Khyra and Stella.
Stella said she was sharing this award with "The OP Pack, Dakota, Thunder and Phantom, this is with special recognition to Dakota who makes everyone's heart smile just by keeping on." Her words really touched us because she is so right. Dakota just keeps fighting to stay with us a little longer.
Speaking of the Princess, she was quite thrilled to find a package arrive for her today - from none other than the very sweet and generous Mason Dixie.
Now how do I get at them?
Finally.
Mmmmmm, it is so good.
Can I have another, please?
Thank you, Mason Dixie.
Woos, the OP Pack
P.S. from Mom: Once again I want to thank all of you for your sweet words for Dakota. She is one very sick pup but she is still as beautiful as ever and keeps hanging on. If you look at some of her pics in older posts and compare them to the more recent ones, you can see how much she is failing. Today's photos show quite well how much weight she has lost. It is very hard for me now because there is so little I can do for her. And so your kindness and thoughts are even more touching. Thank you so much.

Those yummers treats made you perk right up, huh? I hope you are feeling better. It is hard to tell that you are skinny because you are so fluffy.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandpa Angus got skinny too when he was feeling poorly.
Good Mango vibes coming your way.
Slobbers,

Ok course, Dakota is always in our thoughts as she continues to be an example of strength. That said, it's great so see a tasty treat package arrive. New treats are the best!
ReplyDeleteWe've had the Hard Tack before. It's furry yummy and extra crunchy!
ReplyDeleteDakota reminds us of a grand lady - aging with style and grace. Not as quick as she used to be but still able to rap your knuckles with her fan when needed.
Princess Eva
I know those yummers were as tasty as they looked!
ReplyDeleteWe hope Miss D gets to feeling better soon!

Play bows,
Zim
Aw, Dakota looks especially pretty in those last two pictures of her. Congrats on your awards, and how nice of Mason Dixie! We've come to love all our blogging friends, but especially Dakota. It's nice to see her happy and smiling.
ReplyDeleteSee ya!
Joey and Zeke
Thanks for sharing these pics. Dakota is beautiful anyway. I don't know if I will be able to express this in English: there's a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is physical, real, touchable. Suffering is all those things thar are added to pain. Animals feel pain, of course. But they don't suffer. We do. When we are sick, we feel pain but we add some other facts that we can call "suffering". I think that dogs have pain, and humans suffer for them, too. We can't help it. It's funny that our dogs can be very sick and they never lose their smiles... Incredible.
ReplyDeleteI could write a lot about this, but there's no room here...
Kisses.
Congrads on all your awards..
ReplyDeleteDakota you are one lucky pup to get such great treats from Mason. She is an awesome friend.. We sure hope they made you feel a bit better... You are looking good..
Big Sloppy Kisses

John is so teary eyed he can hardly type this for me. But we all know how you feel having been through it so recently with his best budddy sabo. I didn't know him, but I see his urn up on the mantle. I know how much he meant to john and kelly so Dakota must be really important to you or else he wouldnt be crying so much. Hang in there. Lots of love to you all.
