Duke and Sri Lankan Minnie

Yesterday Muzzle took a few photos of a friend's dog - we think he is very handsome so thought we would show you a photo ...


We also wanted to share some photos of my namesake, Minnie, who is being cared for by Dogstar in Sri Lanka. The money raised through my recent Minnie-Moo card auction paid for her rabies vaccination and some food. She is beautiful isn't she?

Her skin and coat haven't been in the best of condition but Dogstar are taking great care of her. Muzzle is sending her Reiki (healing) and asks anyone reading this to send some healing thoughts Minnie's way too please. Thank you :-)

Pretty Minnie:

We will be following her progress - if you would like to read more about Minnie and the other animals helped by Dogstar, checkout this blog and the main Dogstar Foundation website (link in my links section). Dogstar is amazing.

Pawsome!

I was very excited this morning when I looked at Jack's blog Daily Dose of Jack and discovered I'd been given an award - the Pawsome blog award! :-)

The info with the award says:

“This award is presented to those dog bloggers out there who know the meaning of GREATNESS. Their blogs are consistently interesting, funny, or informative. Their KINDNESS is extended to others without expectation of it’s return, and their FRIENDSHIP inspires others to do EXTRAORDINARY things. These are the blogs you can’t wait to read everyday.

In short, they are AWE-INSPIRING, full of wonder, and simply PAWsome! Pass this award on to 4 others who you feel exemplify a “Paw”some Blog, and leave a note saying why you think they deserve the Pawsome Award!”

and Jack choose me as one of the four to receive the award because:

"We like Minnie-moo because 1) we like saying Minnie-Moo :) and 2) her peoples found her at the rescue place and brought her home and made her very happy."

Thanks Jack!!! Muzzle said I make them very happy too :-)

Now I have to decide who to pass the award on to, which isn't going to be easy as I would love to give it to everyone. I shall have a good think.

Our internet has been down a lot for a day or so so I'm a bit behind with blogging but will try to catch up over the weekend. I have some new photos of Sri Lankan Minnie to share and also must get my challenge entries up!

Have a great weekend everyone,

Busy Minnie-Moo

Muzzle and I have been busy sorting out the entries for my FaceINhole challenge - we will be adding these to a new post soon. We are excited about choosing a winner, I think Muzzle is going to let me pick!

I've also been helping her to set up an online shop so we can earn some extra money to buy important things like dog food. She is selling her greetings cards at Folksy. You can see them here.

You may recognise the lovely dog in some of the card photos ... :)

Minnie-Moo's challenge - let's see your face in a hole!

Muzzle made me do this! It's a miserable day, weather-wise, in the UK, and she was looking online and found this FACEinHOLE site.

We've made this photo, which Muzzle keeps sniggering at. You should be able to click on it to see it a bit bigger.

To all my blogging friends - please visit the site and do a FACEinHOLE photo for your blog and then post a link to it on here so I can see. Pretty please!

If you call your post "Minnie-Moo's Challenge" and add a link back to this post, you will be in with the chance of winning a small prize when we choose our favourite one :) We'll give you until 18 May to post one up.

Minnie-Moo, who thinks this won't be the last time she finds her face in a hole ...

Updated 5/5/09 - wow, have had a great response so far, thank you to those that have entered already, we've loved looking at your photos - and we can't wait to see the new ones that are coming too :-)

Just a reminder that you need to post me a link to your blog to be included in the contest in case we don't otherwise see it.

Muzzle thinks we should add all the entries to a post on here, so we will start doing that over the next few days so you can see them all in one place, with a link to all the blogs that have entered.

Thanks again for taking part!

Naked - and last chance reminder

I have been helping Muzzle in the garden this after. She's been taking photos of Daddy's guitars (not sure why, surely that's not as exciting as taking photos of me?!) but she took a few shots of me too.

Dexter, you might need to calm yourself before you look at them - Muzzle took my collar off and I'm NAKED.

Also, a quick reminder/last plug for the fabulous greetings cards that feature photos of yours truly (that's me, that is!) which Muzzle and I are auctioning to raise money for Dogstar, in Sri Lanka. The auction ends tomorrow at 9pm.

Muzzle is happy to post them to anywhere in the world and she is covering the postage costs. More details HERE.

Strange thing in the garden

Muzzle was taking some photos in the garden earlier for Daddy. She was photographing this wooden box thing so I went to take a look and she caught me in one of the photos.

I thought there might be something exciting inside like food or toys, but no such luck, according to Daddy it contains music! It's something called a Coolidge Amp, which makes his guitar louder. He likes it anyway.

I thought it would be more interesting to pose for a few photos myself, so here I am:

Muzzle says I look as though I'm laughing in this one:

Mango, it wasn't about the monkey, honest!

New friends

My brother has been making some new friends - there's a lovely yellow lab who he had a game of chase with - though she's not strictly a new friend as I had a fantastic run around with her a few weeks ago.


Then they met up with a black lab boy and did fun sniffy stuff ...


And then he met a little dog and they said hello:

And then a lovely Poodle we've met before - she likes to tell you she would like a treat please - and NOW!

Muzzle also took this photo of the yellow Lab, which we think is beautiful. It was quite early (for Muzzle!), the sun was just coming out from behind the clouds and the grass was still wet from the night before.

Hope you enjoy :)

And a quick reminder that the Minnie-Moo greetings card auction ends in a few days. The full details and current bids are here.
