The first thing I want to tell you is that my friend Sammy (onespoiledcat) gave me the “Why I Love Thee Award” – you can read what he had to say here. As it’s all about love, I thought it would be nice if I wrote about it this week!
The rules are quite straightforward.
First you thank the friend who passed the award to you – thank you very much, Sammy! And link to their blog – see above.
Then if you’re an animal you tell everyone why you love your bipeds, your people. If you’re a biped you tell why you love your animal(s), or why you love animals in general, or anything you like about love. (I added the last two because not all bipeds are lucky enough to have animals living with them.)
Then you pass the award on to at least one other blogger.
Why I love my bipeds
I love my bipeds because they make me happy. They make sure I have everything I need. They spent time socialising and training with me so that I am relaxed and calm – I get to go to all sorts of places with them. I am part of the family and I know they love me and I feel secure. I have been with them since I was a puppy and I have never had to worry about a thing – I wish all animals could be as lucky as I am.
I would like to pass this award to:
Tylersat99′s Blog
Cat Forsley
The Princess Tails
Boomdeeadda
Twinkletoe Tails
Icewolves of Europa
Under The Oaks
Dakota’s Den
A Husky Life
Kirby’s Dawg Blog
My Family Tree
This is the other thing I want to tell you – Kirby’s Dawg Blog has researched my family tree. There are a few rogues amongst my ancestors and I have links to royalty – the essential ingredients of any family tree!
The post gives a lot of interesting information about Pyrenean Mountain Dogs (Great Pyrenees). There are some fascinating old photographs and a video, so if you haven’t seen it – here’s the link.
Have a great weekend!

Yay Clowie! I love what you said about your bipeds….love is wonderful isn’t it?? May I say too that you most definitely are the prettiest branch on your family tree !
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Thank you, Sammy! Yes, love is wonderful. I don’t want to be rude about my ancestors, but I don’t think some of them have ever seen a brush!
I noticed that, too… Do you suppose someone was a sheep on the job? BOL

Yes, I do!! BOL
Congratulations on your award! We saw the post about your breed yesterday…my sister was excited since the Kuvasz is in your “family” and she is often mistaken for a small Pyr
Thank you! Yes, your sister shares my heritage and we have a similar outlook on life. I’m sure she does her best to look after you!
Congratulations, Clowie – I guessed you are a royal dog ;o) That was such a good idea of Kirby’s mom – I like it ;o)
Thanks, Easy! I like the idea as well – I’m looking forward to learning more about other breeds.

Rogues and Royalty – just what everyone needs to be as interesting as you. Congrats on the award.
Thank you. It’s what every family tree should include!
Congratulations, Clowie! And I am glad you have such wonderful bipeds; it sounds like you got your perfect family
Thank you! I think I am a very lucky dog.

Awwww wow! Congrats on the award Clowie and thanks so much for passing it on to me! I will have to acknowledge it very soon! Your bipeds are sooo good to you I’m glad you are appreciating them! And I’m really glad you liked learning all about your ancestors!!
You’re welcome, Kirby! You found out some very interesting things about my ancestors. I am a very lucky dog!
Love you, Clowie. And, love how you described why you love you bipeds. You’re all blessed to be together and have the life you do. Saw the video and loved the old footage, especially the one of the woman bending down to pet those two puppies. Have a great weekend and give your bipeds a wag from us. Max & Bella, woof woof
Thank you, I know I’m a very lucky dog. I found the old photographs and video fascinating. I hope you all had a great weekend.
Congratulations on your award Clowie! I read about your breed on Kirby’s blog and learned a lot. I loved all of the old photographs too.
Thank you! There was some really interesting information, I’m looking forward to reading about other breeds too.
Congratulations on your award! A lovely week to write about why you love your humans. It seems they do a very good job taking care of you. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you! I thought it was a good time to write about how lucky I am. I hope you had a great weekend.
Congratulations, Clowie! I think those rogues in the family tree can be ever so much more interesting than the royalty.
Thank you. Yes, I think rogues can be quite interesting!
Congratulations on your award, Clowie. Your bipeds take great care of you, physically and emotionally. Mom wishes she knew what to do to make me as well-adjusted as you.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Thank you! I am very lucky. I hope you’ll gradually be frightened of less things, Cupcake. It takes time, if you’ve been scared. My breed is naturally confident – it was sometimes difficult to keep me out of trouble.
Congratulations Clowie! Thank you so much for thinking of me for this award. I will be checking out the other blogs. Always fun to find new blogs..
Thank you and you’re welcome! I enjoy finding new blogs.
How nice for you all! Have a lovely Sunday!
Thank you. Have a great week!
Congratulations on your award, Clowie! Your bipeds are so sweet and lovely.
Thank you! I think I am very lucky.
Thank you for the award Clowie I’m honored. It is such a sweet, beautiful award. And second, I very much enjoyed reading the research intro you breed heritage. I have read a lot on Pyrenees before, but there was a lot of new things and was written very well. The pictures added a lit to show your history. Have a great Sunday:-)
You are very welcome! I loved looking at the old photographs, they’re fascinating. I hope you all had a great weekend.
Yeah Clowie! Well deserved.
It’s true isn’t it – if only everyone got a good family – thankful for the straw we drew over here too
Thank you. I’m glad you’re lucky with your family. I so wish that all animals could have a good home.
LOVEly

Yes!! Thank you.
Congrats to you Clowie on your award. You sure do deserve that one. We really like Pyreness but have never been around many of them. We do know that they are great at guarding other animals. A lot of people use them for sheep or goats.
Thank you! Our traditional role is protection of flocks, we are naturally protective of our families – but we are sensible about it as long as we are socialised well.

You deserve the award. You’re so sweet. ((Hugs))
Thank you! I’m blushing now!
Well deserved. And a LOVELY Love story.
Thank you very much!
Rogues in your family tree Clowie? Surely not?! Tee Hee
Glad you have awesome humans to live with
Your pal Snoopy
Hi Snoopy, I’m sure they were lovable rogues! Yes, I’m a lucky doggy.
Hi Clowie, Marsa here..
How are you? I want to inform you that I’ve changed my address of my blog. The new address is :
taskylonea.com
I hope you like it because it has changed its appearance. I have added more interesting and useful things such as translation into many many languages (at last, ah?) Now, you can read my news more easily, I hope.
I’m wagging my tail with joy to you,
Marsa.
Hi Marsa! It’s lovely to see you. I’ll visit you at your new address soon – it sounds exciting.

Clowie, I met two of the prettiest Pyrs last week! Soft and calm. I thought of you the entire time I was petting them.
That’s nice! I love it when I meet new people who want to make a fuss of me.
