Hi there, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star. In between being hounded by the 'puparazzi', I thought it would be a super pawesome idea to pawmote, sorry, promote some blogs that Gary and myself believe deserve more recognition.
My human, who I so kindly allow to live with me and I, have been blessed with much interaction on this site. We are profoundly grateful for that. We truly embrace what we believe are the ideals of a sharing, caring dogging, sorry, blogging community. And so, we would like to bring further awareness of these amazing bloggers who you might not be aware of. It would be appreciated if you went and paid them a visit. Thank you.
1: All Consuming A clever and varied blog that we have recently had the great pleasure of interacting with.
2: THE SNEE Rebecca, at this site, writes a very inventive and most satirical blog. Well worth a visit.
3: A Day in the Life Our friend David writes a very intelligent, thought provoking blog. The general ethos of David's site is to bring further awareness of mental health concerns and eradicate the unfair stigma still surrounding mental health issues.
4: Soundoff Our friend Heather has a passion to write and demonstrate positivity through some very challenging times in her life. If you have never visited Heather's site, would you kindly go and say hello.
5: In search of a Russian oligarch GEM, has left England and has started an adventure in Russia. Superb writing and superb pictures can be noted on this excellent site.
6: Chaos and Kairos Chris is an excellent writer. We know she is on a new journey of discovery in her life and we wish her well. Highly recommended blog.
7: Austanspace Laura is a prolific blogger. Witty, thoughtful and topical. We know that Laura has had a challenging past year. Yet, despite this, her positivity radiates. Worth a visit.
8: dcrelief We have had the great fortune of interacting with Dixie for quite some time. A talented writer and artist. Dixie's site is worth your while to go and visit.
9: To Discover Ice Our friend bazza writes a highly informative blog that expresses his wide range of interests. He writes about everything from science to artistic masterpieces. If you have never visited bazza, please have a look.
10: Prufrock's Dilemma Susan presents a blog of cultural, visual and musical delight. We have learnt a lot from Susan and for that, we are truly grateful.
So there you be. A selection of noteworthy bloggers that my human and I, Penny the Jack Russell dog, would like to see gain the recognition they merit.
We are all a part of something very special within the blogging community. All different, all equal, rejoicing and learning within this wondrous diversity.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
I think most of them are new to me! (Yes, that does happen.) Wonderful thing to highlight deserving blogs, Gary and Penny. (Who looks SO serious in that photo.)
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeleteYes, it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star, taking control of my human's keyboard. I know you like to bring further awareness of blogs that may just be well kept secrets. We both embrace the ethos of a blogging community that encourages and supports. Ah yes, note my serious look in that photo. Deep in thought as I contemplate my pawsitive pawing!
Enjoy your weekend.
Pawsitive wishes, Penny :)
I don't think I know any of these folks either! I'll try to check them out over the next couple of days! :) Thanks Penny ... and Gary too!
ReplyDeleteHi Jemi,
DeleteSure hope you manage to check these folks out. Gary is going to be doing another list that will be quite varied in the amount of popularity they have.
Hope you had a pawesome weekend:)
Pawsitive wishes, Penny x
HI Gary and Penny; Thank you so much for the promotion and also for the other bloggers, some of whom I have not read. I will be busy for the next little while dropping in and saying Hello. Excellent idea. Very much appreciated. Big Hugs to both.
ReplyDeleteHey Heather,
DeleteYou are most welcome for the um 'pawmotion' from me. And I'm sure that through interaction with some of the bloggers you are not aware of in the list, the awareness of your blog and your ethos, will grow.
Hugs to you from Penny and Gary :)
Wow, Penny, that list looks like it's worth a lot of bones! I'll be surely heading over to pay the ones new to me a visit - thank you, dear friend, for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
DeleteHow's CindyLu? I know these folks will be delighted with a visitation from your good self and CindyLu :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny! Thanks for inviting us to meet your friends. You are too sweet and should we meet I will give you a treat. (and that is why I am not a poet.)
ReplyDeleteHi middle child,
DeleteYou are very welcome. And along with your thought provoking, sometimes ironic writing on your blog, we can now add the title of poet...don't cha' know it! :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, you and Gary are kind hearted individuals. I will check into all these writers. Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteHi Delores,
DeleteOh my, that human Gary has become kind-hearted thanks to my pawsitive influence! :) I'm sure you will discover them to be a fascinating and varied bunch.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny: How are you, dear? You're certainly the photogenic one! This promotion is such a kind and generous gesture, and what a brilliant and creative idea! Thank you, (woof, woof, wink, wink)and kudos to Gary!
ReplyDeleteDear Dixie,
DeleteI am very well, thank you :) We hope you are well and smiling. And my oh my, aren't I the photogenic pooch :) Indeed, this is what Gary and I believe demonstrates the true nature of a sharing, caring blogging community.
I shall bark a kudos into Gary's ear. Arf! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
From Bazza’s cat Ginger:
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, you bitch. (I mean that in a caring way). Tell your master that Bazza of 'To Discover Ice' is appreciative of your kind recommendation. Have your people call my people!
Click here for Ginger’s owner, Bazza’s Blog ‘To Discover Ice’
Ah Ginger!
DeleteWe both thought that it would be neat if more folks discovered "To Discover Ice". How cool is that? Get it?
Have your animals call my animals. We can do lunch :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny (and Gary, the human),
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving my blog a mention (once again! Yey and Woof!). I don't think you could have done more in order for me to get a few more readers/followers/commentors. We both share the conviction (that is, Gary and I) that our blogs can dismantle some of the stigma surrounding mental ill health, and I hope that they are indeed successful in doing this. We are both so much more than a label or diagnosis, and one hopes that our blogs demonstrate that.
Many pawsitive wishes, your way,
David.
P.S. Thank you Gary for your phone call the other evening; it was much appreciated.
Dear David (the human),
DeleteWell stated in regards to your goals and the goals that Gary shares. In my own doggy way, I know how important it is to reduce the stigma behind mental health concerns. More than a label or a diagnosis, for sure.
Gary was delighted to chat to your good self. Your conversation was much appreciated by him. I was in the background telling him what to say.
Peaceful and pawsitive wishes, Penny
Thank you for pointers to these blogs lovely Penny - I shall go visiting :-) x
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,
DeleteThank you and we are sure you will find them most interesting. Would like to see them get further awareness :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteThis is Chris' parakeets and cat calling. We just wanted to thank you and let you know that, even though her head just got a bit bigger from your pimping her blog and stuff, she has been extra kind and attentive to us, so you must be doing something right :) Therefore we appreciate your thought and kindness, and wish all the best to you and your human companion. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Hi Chris' parakeets and cat,
DeleteWell then, that's an excellent outcome! I mean, you getting extra attention and kindness. Not your human's big head that got bigger from "pimping" her blog n'stuff. Always wondered what the "n'stuff" was...
Your human is most welcome for this. Hope it brings further recognition of her superb blog, complete with big words, n'stuff :) In the spirit of your comment, I shall take my human out for a walk. A wet weekend in England. Oh well, what can you do...All the best and say hello to your human.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny: Thank you for the mention, and for including me in such an interesting list! May you and your human enjoy (or avoid, as you prefer) the rest of the long Jubbly weekend.
ReplyDeleteDear Susan,
DeleteYou are most welcome for the mention. You are turning Gary into a 'culture vulture', whatever that means.
Ah yes, a four day weekend. We have stayed well away from the festivities. Do not want to steal the limelight from her Majesty! :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, how very considerate of you vis-a-vis Her Majesty!
DeleteAh yes, I even declined be a part of the concert at Buckingham Palace. Would not have been fair on those human musical celebrities :)
DeletePenny - you are truly pawstatically pawsome!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care

Hi Old Kitty,
DeleteThanks and this was a pawsitively pawfound pawmotion within this pawsting. Even my pawblisher liked it!
Have a lovely longer weekend.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Cheers Penny for the great new blogs to check out
ReplyDeleteHi G,
DeleteAnd cheers to you for checking them out :)
Pawsitive wishes, your way, Penny :)
Aaaaaarrrgghhh! *runs off and hides behind a tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you though, I appreciate the fact that you deem my blog worthy. I'm just a bit shy. As anyone who knows me would not tell you at all, but it's true.
Penny, you are so gorgeous. x
Aaaaaarrrgghhh! All Consuming,
DeleteWhen I hide behind a tree, I usually do a pee. Good grief, poetry alert!
Of course your blog is worthy and my human and I would both like to see you get further recognition. Being shy, humble and unassuming are endearing qualities. Gosh, that almost sounds like the human I so very kindly allow to live with me.
Thank you for thinking I'm gorgeous :) I'm now blushing because I'm shy.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
This is pawesome
ReplyDeleteHi Stephaneli,
DeleteThank you and we think it's pawesome that you have started blogging with a new blog and a fresh beginning :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Well I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeletePearl
Hey Pearl,
DeleteThanks, those fine bloggers truly deserve further awareness :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny, thanks for introducing me to your friends. I feel honoured and grateful. And I look forward to visiting them next. Hope you're having a lovely evening. Hugs and rubs.
ReplyDeleteDear Joylene,
DeleteYou are very welcome. We are honoured and grateful that you interact with this shy and humble dog.
Had a lovely evening, thank you. Hope it is getting warmer where you live!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Hi Gary!!! I'm so lucky to have two friends in you and Penny who support me and THE SNEE. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI will have to get off...or in the case of writing....on my ass to publish a breaking satire news story. Now if life will just slow down enough, so I can sit for a moment:)
Happy summer dog walking to the both of you!
Hi THE SNEE,
DeleteGary, the human who I continue to allow to live with me, and my modest self, embrace the ideals of a sharing, caring dogging, oops, blogging community. It was our honour to hopefully bring further awareness of your rather zany, satirical blog!
Dear lady, when you are ready and life allows, you will pawblish, sorry, publish another one of your entertaining satire news stories.
Thanks Rebecca and between rain storms, I'm going to take my human for a walk!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Aw, thank you Penny (and Gary) for this Pawsitive Promo! You are dear to me. I'm a bit behind in catching up with everyone and this was a lovely surprise. Thank You! The blogging community is a wondrous world of good people (and pups who rock like a certain Jack Russell I know).
ReplyDeleteTake good care and keep wagging,
Laura

Hey Laura,
DeleteYou a most welcome for the Pawsitive Promo. I have mentioned to Gary that you thanked him also.
You are very proactive and we would like to see you get more attention. Indeed, the blogging community has many positive attributes. I know, just like we do, you rejoice in the diversity we share. All different, all equal :)
Thank you for your kind response, Laura.
And with a wagging tail, I bid thee pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx

Keep maintaining that healthy focus in your writing endeavours, Jeff.
Pawsitive wishes, your way, Penny :)
Precious Penny, thank you for pointing me in the direction of these premium bloggers! I will slowly, but surely seek them out! Julie
ReplyDeleteHi Empty Nest Insider,

Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
The photo is astonishing, I am also a huge dog lover and yours is irresistible. I shall be delighted to visit your blogger friends, if they are as sweet and interesting as you I shall be very glad indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi unikorna,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comment in regards to my photo. It is 'proof' pawsitive that I actually 'pawblish' my own 'pawstings':)
My human and I are delighted you are a huge dog lover. Although , I'm just a little dog. Sorry, that was me being silly and literal. And you are most kind. I do hope you discover those in my blog list to be most apt at having further awareness. We rejoice in the diversity of blogland and you, my dear human friend, do one of the most beautiful blogs we have had the delight of reading and immersing ourselves in the visuals.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, your way, Penny xx
You are pawesome Penny and please allow me to kiss you on the whiskers :)
ReplyDeleteHi unikorna,
