The Friday Five Returns

What can I say, the summer slack is in full swing. We have seen a few rare breaks in the rain and have taken advantage of every spare minute. Now it's time to get back one of our favorites and let you see where we have been sniffing around lately.

But before that, a couple of awards that we are late to acknowledge! Actually, one award from two of our friends.


Doug from Fumbled Returns, and Doctor Dre were both kind enough to pass this along. Actually, I think a few dogs I know would be very happy if I stopped creating! But I'll keep at it until the men in white suits come and lock me up. Thank you!

Now back to the Friday Five. Many of you have given or received blog awards of one type or another. It's fun to recognize others and introduce our friends to bloggers they might not otherwise find. We have been tagged many times, and have not been able to keep up or play along due to an outrageous work schedule and constant distractions.




With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to offer up an award with zero strings attached. No need to "paw" it forward, answer ten questions about anything, or even acknowledge it. Just feel the love!

A few fun destinations for the week:

Take a dip with Three Happy Heeler's! These dogs know how to spend a summer. They swim like crazy, and here is the great part - they love to chomp sticks. Our old friends will know why that floats our boat!

One of our oldest friends, Tracing Lucky Skies celebrated a birthday with Jackson recently. Stop by and say hello, and take in the fun with this beautiful, fun loving pack!

I think by now many know that we have lived with, and adore Border Collies. So we love every visit to Holly & Zac, especially since we are landlocked and they have been frolicking in the surf lately. Throw them a bone! :)

Golden Samantha is another dear old friend, and gets our nod for Wordless Wednesday this week - I want to know what happened next! And Nigel appreciates the view. :p

Want to see one of our favorite headers in the dog blog world? I smile every time I arrive at Nibbles Treats - and this week, there is great feeding advice on tap! I think I'm going to give a few of these a try. Thanks for the great post Sandy! :)


Another Friday, another five, another weekend awaits. Enjoy the tour and be well!
