Sweet Friends Award! ... and Beagle friends

Hi, it's Cinnamon!

My blog friends always brighten my day, and one of them has made me even happier by giving me an award called Sweet Friends Award!

The friend who gave me this award is Lexi the Great Dane, who I had met in person and played together at Honey the Great Dane's birthday party last November. Thanks so much, Lexi! I hope we can meet up for a walk or something soon!

The Sweet Friends Award has the following rules:

1. Copy the image and paste it to your blog.
2. List 10 things that make you happy, do one of them today.
3. Select 10 bloggers who brighten your day.

Here is a list of things that make me happy:

1. Hugs, cuddles, and lots of attention
2. Sniffing
3. Hound racing (lure coursing), i.e. running and chasing
4. Practising tricks and dancing
5. Friends, both real-world ones and bloggy ones
6. Balls, both big and small
7. Stuffie friends
8. Anywhere I can hide, e.g. behind a couch or under a bed or table
9. Mum and Dad
10. FOOOOOOOOOD!!!

Ten blog friends are too many to choose, so I have chosen the following three bloggers.

Jackal - He always gives me helpful tips on my training. Thanks!
Pepper - My new friend in New Zealand. She is a really smart puppy!
Chrissy - Her blog does brighten everyone's day!


Speaking of friends, I've been meeting so many Beagle friends lately. Is our popularity skyrocketing?

For example, last Wednesday and Thursday in a row, I met Louie at a nearby park by chance.



On Friday a woman talked to us, when I was walking with my Mum, and said "I have a Beagle! She had a swim for the first time yesterday!" Then, Mum and the woman had a little chat on a footpath, forgetting about me who was waiting beside Mum patiently and nicely.

On Saturday I met this new Beagle called Harvey at another nearby park.



And on Sunday I met Bella & Barry and Rosie at hound racing!



While I had met Rosie at hound racing several times before, I met Bella and Barry for the first time. Their humans found us in an article about our hound racing club in a New Zealand dog magazine "Fetch!"(Honey's human wrote the article!) and searched for information about the club on the Internet. Then, they came across my blog and contacted me by peemail. I was so happy to see new Beagles at racing! Louie who I met during the week had also been to racing before.



Hay, Beagles across Auckland! Come and join us!

    Beagle paradise looks like to me. All that racing! I bet you don't get tired too easily, though, being such a great athlete.

    Hi Cinnamon!

    Thanks so much for telling us about hound racing. We had a lot of fun even though we didn't really get the hang of it. We'll definitely be back again to have another go.

    Wow - so many Beagles!! But then you're all so cute, it's not hard to see why you're a popular dog! :-)

    By the way, Cinnamon - why has your little "Intro" which tells us more about yourself disappeared from your sidebar?

    Slobbers,
    Honey the Great Dane

    Thanks, Honey. I put my brief profile back on the sidebar, which I had removed by mistake.

    Beagles rule! In my suburb, there are around 8 beagles. I think we're pretty cool...but then again, I'm biased.

    Wow Beagle racing I would love a go at that! Unfortunately, my mam's a spoilsport and says it's too far for us to travel - surely not we only live in England!!!!?

    Thanks for the award! I'm honored.

    I see a lot of beagles, too. I think everyone is realizing that they're the best!

    "peemail" I love that.:-)
