Saturday 20 October 2012

Hey Lenny!

Hi there, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star, or should I say, superstar!  Right then, I've taken back over my human Gary's blog to make a very special announcement.  Today, Saturday, October 20, 2012, is the birthday of one of my young buddies, Lenny Lee!  Yes, this cool young chap is now 13.  Yes, my young human friend is now a teenager.

Gary and I, or as Lenny calls him, "Mr. Gary", believe that Lenny is an inspiration to young and old alike.  Lenny is the future of blogging and an important part of the ideal that we embrace in this, the sharing, caring blogging community.

And to you Lenny, myself and Gary, indeed all those who have the great fortune to interact with you, my young human buddy, are privileged and honoured to know you.  Your passion for the written word, the wonderment that fills your young heart, is a profound and touching gift that we warmly receive.

I would kindly ask all our friends, human and animal, to go and visit Lenny and wish this amazing young man, a most happy 13th birthday.  If you have never met Lenny, you can find him here : Lenny's World 
Lenny, I'm forwarding you my very own award, "The Gold Framed Dog Blog Award".  This award has no rules, what it does is spread the unconditional, non-judgemental love that we animals share.  And Lenny, we know how much you care about us precious, fragile creatures of our world.  This, my young human friend, is my birthday gift to you.

Hey Lenny!  On behalf of my human, Gary, I, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star, superstar,  wish you a fantastic birthday!   Stay special and know how much we care about you! :)  Pawsitive wishes, Penny!  Arf!  Arf!

    Isn't it great that Lenny's reached 13 - and exactly as you say we can all learn so much from him with his attitude, and joie de vivre (praat de taal?)!!!!! ....

    Big hugs from Hardwick down south .. the Missus got me writing a post too ...

    1. Hi Hardwick, Muddy Hippo and Happy Hilary! :)

      Ah yes, Lenny has paid us a visit. I was so thrilled he liked my award, my special gift to him. He is one heck of brilliant young man and we in the animal world, appreciate the love he has for us and we have for him.

      We can learn from his upbeat pawsitive, sorry, positive outlook on life. Okay, must go bring in the French poodle to make out what you just typed! :)

      Ah yes, your missus is very wise to get you writing a post about Lenny and a celebration of his birthday. I reckon having us creatures could start a writing trend!

      Very kind of you to say, my very nice human friend :) Yep, I state ever so shyly, I'm one SWEET and adorable dog. I thought this was a most fitting award to bestow upon our favourite young human blogger, Lenny!

      Hey, thanks for the tummy rubs and your very own homemade peanut butter doggie snacks. I hope the peanut butter doesn't stick to the roof of my mouth. I hate it when that happens.

      Gary, yes my human I so kindly allow to live me, has a tendency to be bodacious, outrageous and completely surreal. I must teach him some new tricks. Almost got him to learn how to roll over, beg and shake a hand!

  31. It must be hard to type when you're a dog. You must have to turn your whole body at times in order to reach some of the keys. I wonder if you could hire someone to take dictation...Yep, that's what I think you should do, not that you asked.

    I'm here to say hi to Gary because he left such a sweet comment on the blog of someone who is in distress. Men often have more trouble with that kind of thing than do women, and I thought it was wonderful that Gary seems to find it natural.

    1. Hi Snowbrush,

      I will have to paws and think about what you asked about my typing. I could probably hire my human to do some 'dogtation' for me. Then again, he's not too good at understanding the soothing Jack Russell barks.

      My human, Gary, yes the human I so kindly allow to live with me, does his utmost to try and be of support, of comfort to those who are having a daunting time. He believes in being transparent and is very grateful for your observation. He also noted your thoughtful comment on that site.

  36. Lenny is an amazing kid. I learn a lot from his research about writing even at my age.

    Yes, I am sure that Penny will one day write better than a lot of us humans. For example people at CBS here in the US have lost their sense of humor or have run out of ideas. Why else would they make fun of people with anxiety? We turned the television off right after the first five minutes of watching "2 Broke Girls".

      Oh most definitely! Lenny is one great kid and we are truly happy to learn from his words and kind interaction.

      I like to think that I can demonstrate non-judgemental writing. And writing without the need of unfair alleged 'humour' that the humans think they have at Columbia Broadcasting System. My human and I are constantly trying to alleviate the sensationalism that some parts of the media insist in portraying those with mental health concerns.
