This Friday, 3rd October, is World Smile Day. The theme is, “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile!”
That sounds like a lovely idea to me! It would be wonderful if every day could be like that.
It’s something that is easy to get involved in as most of us animals enjoy making people smile. There will be a smile blog hop on Friday, you can find the details on Sugar’s blog.
I thought about what I could do to make all of you smile. I decided that many of my blogging friends have lovely smiles, so I would share a few pictures of them. I’m hoping you’ll smile with them! Enjoy their smiles in the gallery of photos and then I will introduce them to you and tell you where to find them.
They all have interesting blogs. I’ve kept my introduction to a few sentences each. Just click on the small image at the side to visit them!
Dakota of Dakota’s Den
Dakota is a Sheltie, or Shetland Sheepdog. He finds great books to review. He also gives his opinion on useful items and sometimes gives them away to his readers. He is fearless when it comes to tasting new treats! He has a knack for sniffing out interesting news. And he still finds time to have fun and make us laugh!
Misaki of The Misadventures of Misaki
I’ve seen Misaki grow from a cute and mischievous pup into a beautiful adult Alaskan Malamute. She entertains us with her adventures and experiences. She still indulges in the occasional spot of mischief! She was feeling a little unwell yesterday, so stop by to cheer her up!
Love Is Being Owned by a Husky
There are three Siberian Huskies – Mika, Lexus and Koda. They live with three cats. Visit them to follow their adventures, read product reviews, get general training tips, see beautiful images, handmade jewellery – and all things Husky!
Emma of My GBGV Life
Emma, on the right, and Bailie are French scent hounds (Grand Bassett Griffon Vendéen). Katie is a Kuvasz. They are probably the busiest dogs I know! Sometimes they are cooking treats that make me drool on my keyboard! But you don’t have to worry about them putting on weight – they take lots of exercise and they are often out and about on their adventures.
Cupcake of Cupcake Speaks
Cupcake is a very sweet dog who lives with an author of books for children. She hopes to be the star in a best seller one day and shares her insights into the writing process. Cupcake has a fun job – she visits the library, where children read stories to her. She looks very cute when she dresses up and does tricks.
Living the Squeak Life
This is the newest of the blogs I’m bringing to you today, it was started in February. They are very cute guinea pigs. Hop on over to see photographs of them – you’ll also find out what guinea pigs get up to every day and the sort of things they think about!
Aspen of Tylersat99
Aspen is the newest member of the family at Tylersat99. He was nine weeks old when this picture was taken. He’s grown a lot since then – he will be five months old tomorrow and weighs more than 70 pounds. He still has some growing to do to catch up with Mica, the adult Newfoundland, who keeps a watchful eye on him. You’ll find lots of great photos on their blog and don’t miss following along on one of the walks – you’ll wish you could be there with them!
Other News
Savannah’s Paw Tracks
Today is the big day! Don’t forget to visit Savannah and find out what she is up to!
“His Name was Ben” by Paulette Mahurin
“His Name was Ben” by Paulette Mahurin has recently been published. I haven’t read it yet, but the early reviews are fantastic! Clicking on the image at the side will take you to the book on Amazon. Profits from the book will help rescue dogs.
Many of you will remember Paulette from the interview she did with me – Spotlight on Paulette Mahurin.
You can visit her blog – The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap.
I hope you’re all smiling.
Don’t forget to smile on Friday!
Clowie's Corner 
A great collection of smile inducing blogs Clowie, thanks for sharing!
They’re always good to read and they have a great collection of smiles between them!
I like this blogs! I agree it was interesting to see how Misaki grew up and now we can see how Aspen grows a little bit with every post! I wish I would be a sheltie like Dakota, to manage the smile day, it’s not easy for a non-smiling breed to take a good photo :o)
Yes, some breeds have a natural smile! Other breeds just can’t look as though they’re smiling. I tried looking for a smiling cat and could only find the Cheshire Cat – I always find that more sinister than happy!
You have other ways of looking cute and making people smile!
Great selection and we will join you in a smile or two. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
I’m glad you’re smiling! Have a fun day, Molly!
momwithoutpaws smiles at strangers especially if they have a frown. She even talks to strangers. I guess she is not strange ..
Strangers often talk to me! So my bipeds often end up chatting to strangers!
Dear friend, you always make me smile just by you being you. Spotlighting so many of your friends and their blogs is a great act of kindness, not only for them to be recognized but also for us so we can find out about them. I’ve often said to my husband, when I grow up, I want to be like Clowie.
Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy meeting them.
