Thankful on Thursday







Look at this beautiful Sunshine Award that we received from Au, Target, and Guido.



Thank you so much for sharing this award with us. That was very nice of you. And readers, you should really take the time to visit these awesome kitties.

We have to answer some questions and then pass them on to some other bloggers. We decided to let the Momster answer these questions for us.

01. My favorite color: Blue, no doubt about that.
02. My favorite animal: dogs!!!!
03. My favorite number: I have two: 4 and 7.
04. My favorite non-alcoholic drink: HOT tea.
05. Social media? Email and blog.
06. My passion: My family, both biped and quadriped.
07. Getting or giving presents? I cannot tell a lie - BOTH.
08. My favorite pattern? Paisley.
09. My favorite day of the week? Sunday.
10. My favorite flower? Roses.

That was easy now, wasn't it? If you would like to enjoy this Sunshine Award and answer some simple questions, please accept this award from us to you.

And look - another award!

We received this scrumptious looking award from Bert at the Four Legged Views blog. Bert has a great blog. If you don't know him and his family, be sure to click on the link above and pay him a visit.


There are a few rules for this award. Being sibes, we aren't always very good about rules, but we will do our best.

First, we must thank and link back to the furry who gave you this award.

Now THAT would be Bert and family - thank you very much from all of us in The OP Pack.


Second, we must share seven random facts about ourselves. We think we will let our newest pack member share some things about himself. Take it away, Lightning.



1. I am very happy to join the OP Pack and to have Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara as my siblings.

2. I am doing pretty well with my potty training. Mom just has to remember to take me out - she is the one who needs the training.

3. So far I have no interest in my new name. Before I came here, I was knows as Suds. That wasn't all that great either.

4. I have one blue eye and one brown eye, a very long body, legs, and tail. Mom says I am at that awkward stage where everything is out of proportion.

5. I get to go for my first visit to the V.E.T. tomorrow - Ciara tells me I might get shot - oh wait, she said a shot, whatever that means.

6. I may have been Thunder's big project, but he doesn't like me:(



7. I am also afraid of shoes, especially noisy black ones. Dad says he doesn't understand why I like him when he has his white socks or sneakers on, but run and hide when he comes in from work with his dress black shoes on.

8. Oops - I forgot I was only supposed to do 7. But I wanted to tell you that you usually see me outside with my leash dragging because I am skinny enough to fit through the fence, and slow Mom can catch me better by stepping on my leash.






That's about all I can think of now - besides something on the other side of this fence is very interesting.




Third, pass the award to 5, 10, 15, or any number (we made the number of awardees up - it is supposed to be 15) of special deserving bloggers. But that is too hard for us to do, so we are offering it to all of you deserving readers.

Mom couldn't believe it when she actually got this shot!!! Left to right, youngest to oldest and all looking at the flashy beast.

Happy Thursday to all.

Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning

  1. Oh we love, love, love that photo of all of you! Great shot Momster! Congratulations on your awards! We enjoyed learning more about your mom and you too Lightning! We wonder what's up with the black shoes but yet I squeal like a stuck pig if a woman with long blond hair gets too close to me and I'm not telling why.

    Woos,
    Sadie

  16. I learning more about my friends! Thanks for sharing! You are afraid of black shoes....? That's ok....we are all a little afraid of something! Great pic!

  17. OMC... what a beautiful picture. Lightning looks like he's fitting right in. And, don't worry, little one, Thunder will like you soon enough.

    Congrats on the awards OP Pack. Very deserving.

    pawhugs, Max

  18. Odd things scare the little ones - so it's okay not to like black shoes. The "THING" aka Denny never cared about Dads back stretcher until he moved it - then he went into his fiercest barking and growling ever. That was a great last photo - looks like phantom is really watching that treat your mom had her hand.

    Hopefully you will get use to name....for some reason you don't look like a 'lightning though' we think Yeti would of been a good name :) :) :)

  19. Congrats on such neat new awards! Lightning is such a cutie--I bet Thunder is just waiting to see if he's sticking around. That was Toby's reaction at least.

  20. CONGRATS on the Awards!!!!

    I love the pics!

    But the last one with the entire OP Pack in order of age is priceless!

    woos, Tessa

  21. That little pink tongue sticking out was my awwwww moment, along with the cute one of Thunder and Lightning.
    I would suggest Dad take Lightning for a walk while wearing the dreaded black shoes so he associates them with something fun!

  22. Hey Lightning was you givin the raspberries to whoever was on the other side of the fence? Right on!!!

  24. Wow, all four in one shot. I'm still trying to do that. Thanks for letting us get to know you, Lightning. t sounds like you're starting to settle in. I'll bet TD will come around. He's probably feeling a little threatened by having another boy dog in the family.

  26. Let me join the admirers of the family shot! Handsome gang there!

    We had a mini-schnauzer who had been kicked around by its first owner, who wore black shoes. She NEVER got over it. You never realize how many people wear black shoes either.

    This is before my time here, but its Mom's story.

    Kisses,
    Stella

  35. Pawsome photo of your four! (hey, your mom's favorite number!) You pups rock to do that for your mom, sit in order and look at the flashy beast. Very cool! :->

    Congratulations on your super awards! Both of them are well deserved! And Lightening/Suds, you did a fantastic job with your "7-8 Things" list. You are a very interesting pup, and I LOVE the photo of your little tongue sticking out! I just wonder what was on the other side of the fence that you were sticking your tongue out too?

    Suka

    p.s. I know Thunder loves you!

  36. Check out the gorgeous lady against the green green grass. You all look fantastic! Sunday is my favorite day of the week as well. Sorry I am such an absentee as well. Besides the kids, I've been helping my boss-man with his business endeavor of making and selling longboards. More on that later, but sorry for being such a horrible friend. Thanks for being my one and only reader :) I sure appreciate you folks!

  37. All right. Now one at a time step forward...So long...farewell...auf weidersein...adeiu

    Congratulation on the much deserved awards! We loved learning more about both momster AND Lightning.

    And Lightning, give Thunder time, he might have conjured you but it doesn't mean he was ready for you to be real and in his face (believe me I KNOW)!

  38. Congratulations on your awards too.You really deserve it! :)

  43. Oh what a cutie! Lightning must be a joy to have about; even for Thunder :-) The shoe thing is weird though.

    I've got a piece in The Star, the Malaysian newspaper today that's a Living In Malaysia story like my blog. You can read it for free at http://tinyurl.com/3f3gd9z

  47. That last picture was just pawsome with all of you together arranged youngest to oldest. Congrats to your Mom on getting the shot.

    We thinks LIGHTENING is a big improvement over Suds. Bet you get a nickname soon that you will love. We also thinks that you will grow into your legs and fill out so you can't get through the fence. All of you are so pretty, you makes a very handsome family. And we bets Thunder will warm up to you eventually.

  48. Nice awards! And well-deserved! That's a bunch on interesting stuff there, Lightning. Great name, but it is a mouthfull- Mom's first kitty's name was Flash, maybe woo can borrow that if woo need a shorter nic-name? It goes with "lightning", don't woo think?

    Don't worry about all that "awkward" stuff - woo look just perfect to us!

  51. Hi,
    I love that name, Lightning! I had a Springer Spaniel called Lightning when I was young. He was one of Dad's favorite dogs! I remembered that.
    That is a great shot! My dogs NEVER sit long enough to get a good picture like this.
    Congratulations on your awards!
