I have been catching up on reading the blogs that I follow and was very pleased to see so many of my blogging friends had received awards over the last few days. I had a lovely time writing my congratulations and saying that they deserve many more!
After I had read all of the latest posts, I turned my attention to my own blog to respond to comments made on my posts and KER-SPLOOSH! My new blogging friend Dante Alighieri (aka The Travelin’ Boy) had written to me to say that he had awarded me my second Liebster Blog Award! KAPOW!
Thank you Dante! For those of you who have not yet met Dante Alighieri, he is a four year old Malti-Poo who lives in Florida.
Dante told me that the Liebster Blog Award is intended to recognize worthy, lesser known blogs (with less than 200 followers) and to help expose their work. What a great idea!
You may know that Liebster is German word meaning dearest, so the Liebster Blog Award means Dearest Blog Award, which I think is very lovely.
Here is the link to Dante’s post about the Liebster Blog Awards:

You may recognise several or all of the other award recipients. If not, do check them out.
The rules for the Liebster Award are:
1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top five picks {with less than 200 readers} and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4. Hope that the people you’ve sent the award to forward it to their five favourite up-and-coming bloggers and keep it going!
Now, I need to pass on the awards to five blogger friends.
Tylersat99
This blog is about the wonderful walks of two adorable dogs, Mica and Lexie. Absolutely beautiful surroundings to explore. They are so lucky! Go on a walk with them!

Shary Hover
Shary is a full time writer who lives in San Diego with her husband Bruce and her dog Lola. Her latest project is a novel about a lonely girl who adopts a dog and finds a circle of human friends at the local dog park. Lola is Shary’s constant companion and often writes guest posts on her mom’s blog. Check out Shary’s blog. It’s great!
B0ng0
B0ng0 came from a dog-shelter in Bosnia at the age of 6 months to live with a new family in Austria and later moved with them to Germany. B0ng0 lives with one of my very special blogging friends Puzzle. Don’t be deterred by the predominately German text in the posts – it is sometimes in English and there is a facility for a googlish translation. It is a great blog with very lovely pictures.
TBN Ranch
This amazing blog is written by Amy Elizabeth who lives on the Tilden Bar None Ranch in Phoenix, Arizona. I have learned so much about ranch life from this blog and have received a very thorough education in the care of chickens! It’s a great blog with beautiful poetry, pictures, recipes and much much more. Check it out at:
Jodistone
Jodi writes about her life with her two dogs, Sampson and Delilah. On the 1 December her blog was one year old and in all that time she had posted every single day except one. She had a good excuse though – it was the day after her granddaughter was born and she was taking care of her grandson. Jodi is a natural writer and a great storyteller. I know you will enjoy her blog as much as I do.
