2009 Bloggie Awards...things that make you say, "hmmm"

I'm networked out the wa-zoo, so I have no idea now how I came to find out about voting for the 2009 Bloggie Awards but nevertheless, I found myself checking out the nominees in the various voting categories. All are in the running for the best blog of 2009. But as I browse, I notice something curious. There isn't a category for best pet blog! And I say to myself, "hmmm, why is that?" I mean, there's an awful lot of dogs with blogs who write very thoughtful posts and are truly committed to quality content on their blogs. Why not have a category for us dogs?! It's just not fair! So I emailed the sponsor contact (nikolai@nolan.net) to inquire. Sadly, I have yet to hear a reply.

Maybe you can try? If you get a response, please let me know, ok!

Saturday night "fun"...

Yeah so, all I wanted to do was play some ball with mom tonight, but she had other ideas. She brushed me and put a bow in my hair instead of doing what I wanted to do, then she said, I was too cute for words... I know from experience what's coming next! "cheeseburger!!" ugh, what's a yorkie to do? Yay me!

Vacation is over, I'm home!

Mom and dad finally got home from vacation and now I'm home! Thank you Nana for watching me while they were gone...I love you!! Here's a few pictures from vacation (and YES, mom did bring me presents for my birthday-YAY!)

After a few days in williamsburg, it' onto VA Beach!

More new friends..

Gosh, mom and dad went away on vacation and I can't wait to tell them that we now have 30 friends on my new doggy blog! Wah-hoo! This is so exciting. A big shout out to all my new friends! :yip yap:

I just had my 7th birthday, and boy did I have a great time! As some of you may know, I'm staying with my Nana and Grandad while my mom and dad are away. And I had no idea, but my cousin Willow (she's 3) threw me a surprise birthday party! I had a great time playing ball with her and her brother Maxwell (he's 1-1/2). Nana had balloons and streamers and everything! It was a blast! Mom called right when everyone was singing happy birthday to me and that was great too. (wonder if she will bring me any presents back from her vacation?)

So it's great to be at Nana's house, but I'll be so glad when mom and dad get back! Mom told me she'd be back Saturday.

Hugs to all my blogger friends and I promise to tell mom to read up on all your blogs when she gets back!

xx Isabel

Big day is just days away...

And mom&dad won't be there! Terrible, but this year my mom and dad won't be home for my birthday. (:mom speaking:) Yes, it's true, my hubby and I will be on a much needed vacation. (emphasis on "much needed") So Isabel will be staying with her Nana (my mom) and Grandad (my dad) while we are away. And she loves them and they love (and spoil) her! But still, I will miss her everyday. But the point of my entry is...

...because of what donned on me just tonight. Next Tuesday Isabel turns seven years old. Then I realized the date of next Tuesday. She will be SEVEN on 7/7 ...so that's a pretty lucky number combination (if you're into lucky number things). Thought that was a semi-interesting tidbit worth mentioning on the doggy blog.

Stick out your tongue challenge

So have you heard about the challenge at Rocky Creek Scottie Adventures blog? They are about to celebrate their upcoming 100th post!! This should be a fun one to see! So I'm joining in on the fun with my entry...
