Besides, with me taking over this site, it lets Gary, the human I so kindly allow to live with me, take a bit of a break so he can reflect upon all the writing tips I've tried to teach him.
That ribbon would be perfect for my rhythmic gymnastics routine.

Five Fabulous Moments.
1 : The day I first met Gary's son, Tristan. I knew, right then and there, that I would go and live with him.
2 : The day I realised that I could "Google" myself . I typed in "Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star" and wow, there is loads of stuff about me, yes me, modest me.
3 : The time I went out wearing sunglasses and fooled the 'puparazzi'. Nice not to be hounded, for a change.
4 : The realisation that whenever I do a pawsting, sorry, posting, the number of visits on this site go through the ruff, I mean roof.

I would ask you kindly, if you have never visited the above blogging links, to check them out. And you might of guessed they all have some sort of animal theme. All of them passionate about demonstrating the unconditional, non-judgemental love that we animals so freely share.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
OMD, I'm blushing! Penny, my dear friend, you honor me with both a prestigious award from a brilliant author as Joylene, AND include me in the company of such auspicious animal friends? I am truly humbled.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally pawsome. You are incredible - what on Earth would Gary ever do without all your help??! Thank you from the bottom of my canine, loving-unconditionally heart, CindyLu xx
Hi CindyLu,
DeleteWould be interesting to see you blushing! :) Ah yes, that Joylene is one heck of an author, for a human. Arf! Arf!
You are such a worthy recipient of the award, in keeping with my theme of how I wanted to forward it along. You and your human Kim, are wonderful demonstration of the warm interaction we can share.
My human, Gary, is slowly learning from me. I hope that one day he can type a coherent sentence together. You are most welcome and have a pawesome remainder of your Sunday.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Smooches from Jazz and Jewel the black feline stars who live with the Elephant's Child. Jazz however believes that he would be a better rhythical gymnast than you. Jazz is sometimes not a nice cat.
ReplyDeleteHi The Elephant's Child and Jazz and Jewel,
DeleteThanks so much for the smooches from Jazz and Jewel. What's wrong with me? BOL. Well then, maybe Jazz and my pawesome self could team up and a do a rhythmic gymnastic routine together. However, I get to use the purple ribbon! Arf! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Aw Penny, you are just as lovely in your heart as you are on the outside - and do you know what, the traffic increases on Herself's blog when I do a guest posting too. I have had a quick look at the lovely links and I know Herself will go back later for a proper look. Lots of Woofs, Indy xx
ReplyDeleteHey Indy!
DeleteI just knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that I was lovely in my heart as on the outside. Not surprised that the traffic increases on your human Teresa's blog when you do a guest um 'pawsting'. Those are really neat links, me thinks.
Take care and look after your human, Indy :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Beautiful Penny the Jack Russell and Modest Internet Star!! You are too fabulous for words!! Yay for your wonderful award and your pet loves! You are indeed a shiny twinkling sparkly star streaking across the darkness bringing bright light and glittery gorgeousness to all who love you!!!

Hey Old Kitty!
DeleteOh yes, I'm too fabulous for words. A couple of meows would suffice :)
Thanks for the yays. And thanks for that rather galactic choice of words to describe my extremely modest self.
You are welcome for the nomination. Please know there is no obligation to make mention of it. I leave it up to you and the lovable Charlie!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Wonderful news Penny! Good for you. And yes, that purple ribbon would look great with such lovely fur you have. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Dixie,
DeleteAh yes, it's wonderful news. Nice to be recognised for my um 'pawblishing' skills! Arf! Arf! I think I should proudly display that purple ribbon on my head. Might even fool the 'puparazzi' :)
Thank you, Dixie.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Congratulations, Penny! Not many dogs are Google-worthy, but you are. And you passed the award to Kitty and Charlie - how fitting.
ReplyDeleteNo peeing on my keyboard though please.
Hi Alex,
DeleteThank you, my human friend, for the congratulations. Not like I check on a regular basis, but I did notice I'm on 37 pages of Google, as of yesterday.
Ah yes, the lovable Old Kitty and the star of her blog, Charlie. A 'pawfect' choice!
Wouldn't dream of peeing on your keyboard, good sir. Although not recommended, I leave that up to you. Arf! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
This is wonderful Penny...congratulations. You are indeed a gold star blogger.
ReplyDeleteHi Delores,
DeleteI thank you paw, sorry, for the congratulations. I'm a gold star blogger with her very own Gold Framed Dog Blog Award :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Wow, another "award" to add to your collection. You are one popular pooch.
ReplyDeleteHi PT,
DeleteYou are an amazing superhero author. And really, all the other awards that my human got were really thanks to me attempting to help him with his writing. Yes, I'm a popular pooch and I like to Google myself. That's fun! Arf! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
We, unlike you, are in the witness relocation program and I am unable to be explicit regarding where I am. I don't know what my mom did to get thrown into gator-land, but I have to do my best to protect this family while wearing a black identity bar over my face.
ReplyDeleteHi there via lotta joy,
DeleteI understand and "gator-land" sounds like some kind of theme park. You are very brave and keep protecting your humans.
And with that, I shall ever so quietly forward pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
What a great photo of you, Penny. My you are a photogenic one. Maybe I'll try and borrow Carrie's blog thingy one day and write a post of my own--what can I say, Penny, you've inspired me. Doesn't it drive you crazy when you hear birds chirping behind the TV but you can't find them?
ReplyDeleteYour adoring fan, Parker.
Hey Parker,
DeleteHow's it goin', eh? Just practising my Canadian :) Thanks for liking the photo of me. Yes, take over her blog, show your human what great writers Jack Russell dogs are.
Birds behind the TV, cats on the screen, the dog trials where they chase a bunch of sheep and horses, oh my horses! :) I must go now and try and find those darned birds behind the TV. I think they are Canada geese. Honk! Honk!
Thanks Parker, maybe we could do a collaboration blog someday.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Hi Penny!!! First, you made our day by putting on the "follow by email" option on your blog! YAY!!!! We are following this way now.
ReplyDeleteSecond...HUGE CONCATS on your WELL DESERVED award and...yep, isn't it fun to Google yourself? MOL!
We adore "Ten Lives & Second Chances" and "CindyLu" we follow them both!
Have a great day and thanks for visiting us!
Love, Cody and "Mom"
Hi Cody and hi Caren,
DeleteI made my human put up that "follow by email" option the very day you asked him. Quite fast for him :)
Thanks you for the 'concatulations'. How 'pawfect'!
I bet you like to Google yourself every chance you can get, Cody.
Oh yeah, "Ten Lives and second chances" and "CindyLu's Muse". Pawesome and fitting choices. I 'follow' them and make sure they are behaving like a good cat and dog should :)
Always good to visit you two. And thanks for visiting me and my human who I so kindly allow to live with me.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
From Bazza’s cat Ginger:
ReplyDeleteHey, well done Penny. Go girl!
However, I have to say that we cats demand and expect unconditional love. We don't actually give it, we just take it. You doggies are so soft!
Click here for Ginger’s owner, Bazza’s Blog ‘To Discover Ice’
Hi Ginger,
DeleteThanks Ginger. I shall certainly 'go'. Ah, that's better.
Is that a photo of you, Ginger? You look like a scary human!
You cats have an evil plan to turn humans into total slaves and get them to work in a giant milk factory in Switzerland.
We dogs are not as soft as you might think. We shall not let you rule the world!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Well done on the award - thoroughly deserved :)
ReplyDeleteHi G,
DeleteThank you for that, my human buddy. You are most kind and quite right :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny;
ReplyDeleteI am really happy that you got the human award. We may need sometime learn from animals too. Say Hi to Gary.
Love you both unconditional.
Aliza.
Dear Aliza,
DeleteWhat a nice thing to say. Thank you :) We animals are trying to set an example to humans about caring and love. I shall tell my human that you said hi. I know he will be very pleased.
Unconditional love to you, my lovely human friend.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, I'm so glad you're enjoying your newest award. You deserve it, you hairy thing--you! You're a great reminder what's really important in this life. Puppies and cuddles. Have a super puppy day. Hope all your treats come in their basket!
ReplyDeleteHi Joylene,
DeleteThank you so much for bestowing that award upon me, yes me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star.
I do my best to demonstrate to humans that us animals have many lessons to share with humans. Of kindness, of caring, of unconditional, non judgemental love.
I shall be having loads of treats in a basket. Here's to you and your loved ones having a pawfectly pleasant day :) "Puppies and cuddles." A wonderful thought.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
I think Penny that your writing is pawfect and always gives a necessary dog eyed view of the world as seen through the brown eyes of reason.!
ReplyDeleteHi Ray,
DeleteVery kind of you, my good human friend. You have pawfectly described what I'm trying to accomplish.
Van Morrison wrote a song about me, something about a "brown-eyed girl" :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Congratulations Penny! I would love to see you do one of your gymnastics routines with your award ribbon. Maybe your human should shoot a video for us??? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
DeleteThank you, my dear human, for the congratulations. I think my human should do a video of me performing one of my famous gymnastic routines with ribbons and balls and tassels :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, my popular pal. Or should that be pupular? Anyhoo, congrats on your well-deserved award and having google-ability. You will soon begin receiving your very own email spam, including cries for financial aid from relatives you didn't know you had in Nigeria. Ignore these, dear Penny, as I know you're a soft touch.
ReplyDeletehugs and scruffs,
Laura

Hi Laura,
DeleteVery good, you lovely human! I'm so "pupular"! Arf! Arf! Thank you for the congratulations and realisation that my fame grows on Google :)
Ah yes, there is a Nigerian 'princess' who is going to make me rich after I send her my um 'bark' details. I don't think so.
I'm a soft touch in a cuddly, adorable sort of way.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
You two gentlemen are overwhelmed with awards and consideration from so many ladies :). Kisses for you both.
ReplyDeleteHi unikorna,
DeleteAh yes, this lady dog and that male dude I so kindly allow to live with me, is flattered and humbled by all the awards. And we are so grateful for the double award you bestowed upon this unassuming site :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Congratulations Penny, its clear Gary gets all his writing tips from you, behind every good man is a dog sat licking its bum and pulling all the strings eh? Carry on the good work, Lardy. x
ReplyDeleteHey Lardy,
DeleteThanks for the congratulations, Lardy :) Gary is a slow learner and I hope one day he will write something bordering on coherent.
Ah yes, I can lick my bum and sniff my private parts. And yes, Gary is envious!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, congrats on your blog award, you are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links.
Jai
Hi Jai,
DeleteAwe thanks Jai. I appreciate that. I'm glad you think I'm adorable and I think you're an adorable human :)
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Penny, congratulations on your blog award. Thanks so much for you kind words at Alex's blog. I am following your blog now.
ReplyDeleteHi Ciara,
DeleteThank you so much for the congratulations on my dog, sorry, my blog award.
It was my great pleasure to leave my words of wisdom on Alex's blog. You are a very nice human and that Alex is okay, also :)
I think you would be an ideal human to perhaps interview one day on this unassuming site. I, being an accomplished 'pawblisher' can help you. Arf! Arf!
Thank you for linking into this blog. My human realises if it wasn't for me, he'd have few 'followers'. I linked into your Networked Blogs application. Heck, I even 'tweeted' you. Whatever that is.
All the beast, sorry, all the best and happy, fulfilling writing to you, my human friend.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Congrats on the award, Penny. It's super of you to help Gary with the blog like you do. My cats are pretty terrific, too, but they think a keyboard is just another place to take a nap.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
DeleteThank you for the congrats. Lovely to see you :) I do what I can to help him with his writing. I'm waiting for that wondrous day when he actually can type a half decent sentence. At least I've taught him to roll over, shake a hand, beg and um play dead.
Your cats think the keyboard is another place to nap. I hope they don't get in the way of your typing your terrific blog. Oops, speaking of peeboard, I mean keyboard, must go for a piddle....
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Dear Penny (and Gary, your human),
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased that you have won this award. Maybe you can put it alongside all of Gary's awards, if there's room, that is!
It's also good to hear that you take such good care for your humans, Gary and Tristan. After all, I think they deserve some of that unquestioning devotion that you offer.
Very Best Wishes, my hairy canine friend,
David.
Dear David,
DeleteAh thank you, you amazing human, you. I note you seem to be awake at an unearthly hour. Gary, is snoozing away and I shall type very quietly.
I have placed the award on the sidebar, along with the other 37 awards. See, I can count without even using my paws.
Such a nice thing to say. Gary and Tristan have been having a really tough time. My unconditional love to them is of great comfort.
Thank you, my rather hairy human buddy.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Hi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stoppin' by for a visit. I'm so glad y'all could make it!
Hope y'all are havin' a wonderful week.
As you can see, I did receive your message. Congratulations on your award. I am honored and humbled that you selected me as one of the recipients.
It is so sweet of you to give Gary a break from the keyboard. I know you bring him happiness and comfort.
Y'all come back now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Hi Hawk,
DeleteAlways good to come and visit you, my wonderful doggy buddy :)
We are having a pretty good week, thank you. Have actually got to laze about as the sunshine came through our window.
I was delighted to bestow this award on your good self and your humans are well cool, also :)
My human needs a break from writing and it's always inspiring when I take over. Oh yes, Hawk, just like you, we do our best to bring our human's happiness and comfort.
Thank you, Hawk.
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
Oh Penny,
ReplyDeleteI meant to tell you that is a stunningly beautiful picture of you concentrating at the keyboard.
Hawk
Hey Hawk,
DeleteWow, and woof, thanks for that. It's proof pawsitive that I do my own blogs! :)
Y'all looking real cute in your picture icon! :)
Penny xx
Wow, Penny! What a great post! Thanks for sharing about why dogs bark at the tv when an animal is on it. Macy does it all the time. Congratulations on the award and I'd like to see Gary doing his routine with that ribbon. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon,
DeleteThanks for liking this post, my lovely human friend:) I figured Macy might just bark at the TV when she sees another animal. Heck, I even head towards the TV to check out cartoon animals.
Thanks for the congratulations :) Gary, might just do his routine with that ribbon. Probably after he finishes his synchronised swimming. Arf! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xx
