“One Lovely Blog Award,” and THE BOOK arrived!!

Our blog friend Chrissy, who has a Beagle called Bernie, has given Cookie and Cinnamon a sweet award! Thanks, Chrissy! I always enjoy reading your blog.





The rules of the “One Lovely Blog Award” are:

  • Accept the award
  • Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.
  • Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered.
  • Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

As 15 blogs are too many, we would like to pass this award to the following three friends:

Honey, who's inspired us to take on dancing.
Marge, who's making her agility trial debut soon.
River, who's been doing a wonderful job, helping so many rescued dogs.


This morning 'the book' I had preordered finally arrived!! You may want to ask what book it is. It is a book titled "Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats" (Author: Bradley Trevor Greive, Photographer: Rachael Hale), which our friend Honey the Great Dane is in. I will sneakily show you one of the pages she is on. Every dog in the book is so beautiful, but, Honey, you really stand out!




I think this full-colour book is a great value for the price. I haven't read the stories in the book yet, but I look forward to reading them on the deck in summer.


Note: Although Honey and her friends' photoshooting was done here in Auckland, New Zealand, the book "Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats" was published in the US. So, I ordered it from Amazon.com and had it delivered from the US to New Zealand.

  3. That's so cool! Wish I could order me one, but I think ordering all the way from NZ is too expensive. Is it even available in the US? Thanks for sharing.

  4. OOoh! Thanks for the award! And I feel embarrassed that every other doggie seems to have got this book already and I haven't! My stupid human forgot to pre-order it! Anyway, she says that Rachael is sending us a signed copy from France, so maybe we will just have to wait for that. She also said that she will have a look in the bookshops here coz she heard that the book is arriving in stores in NZ this week!

    Slobbers,
    Honey the Great Dane

  8. Hi guys,
    Congratualtions on the award. Love the title of that book! Honey is a very elegant looking dog isn't she.
    Its been so nice to come over here and check out what our beagle buddies in NZ have been up to. Looks like you are having some nice spring weather as we here are having some great autumn weather. Jazz and Dixie are also losing a lot of hair due to the change in season and Jazz loses more than Dixie.
