I love receiving awards as I also get to nominate other fellow blogs as well:)
Cat Protectress and her amazingly awesome cat, Slash gave me my first nomination at http://catpurrology.com/2012/06/09/a-humble-thanks-plus-30-nominations/ . If you have not checked out this blog I recommend that you do it today as Cat Protectress and Slash rock!!! Protectress loves her Slash and loves all cats…her goal is to be sure that all cats are well cared for and loved. I truly understand how she feels as my kitty Minnie is my heart…I protect her and love her and try to make everyday special for her. I too love cats:) Be sure to visit their site:)
Congratulations to both Cat Protectress and Slash for your nomination for this award:)

Thank you much for nominating my blog for the Lovely Blogger Award too:)
These are the rules for receiving this award:
1.) Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them in your post.
2.) Share 7 things about yourself.
3.) Nominate 15 or so bloggers you admire.
4.) Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know.
Seven Things About Me:
1.) I have refinished just about all our furniture in the house. I love wood!
2.) I’m a homebody….do not like going to town….home is where the heart is:)
3.) I can be cowgirl rough and tough but I have a very soft heart and care deeply.
4.) I give God glory for my life and for my hubby…my animals and our home.
5.) I had long hair all my life until I found out that my Mom did not have long to live the week we lost my Dad. I did not tell anyone that I was going to do it…I just did it. From waist length to shockingly short hair.
6.) I have long hair again thank goodness!
7.) On a summer night I love to be on top of the rolling hills around here on my horse…you can see Mt. Hood, 200 miles away, with the sun setting behind it.

Yeah…Miss Tucker is beautiful…all three of our Australian Shepherd dogs are rescues….and we loves them all:) Tucker is now 9 years old…we got her when she was 1 years old….Dasher is almost 8 years old….we got him when he was 4 years old…and Miss Kiah we got when she was 1 year and now she is 2 years old….both Minnie Mouse and her sister were not wanted and wow I wanted them……beautiful kittens and beautiful hearts. I am with you….why can’t people or society get it…animals have emotions and feelings and love and the desire to live just like we do. If someone tried to kill us we would fight….so it makes this cowgirl very mad when people hunt for birds or deer or elk or moose or bear or whatever…I love animals:) I believe that God created everyone…and every animal that I have had…I pray and hope they will greet me in heaven one of these days…I know they will:)

WOW! I’m very happy to learn that your pets are all rescued, its indeed such a noble thing to do! What made me happier is the fact that we turned out to be birds of the same feather! I love animal lovers, and I become instant pals with them, the moment I get to know that they are passionate about the welfare of god’s ‘other’ children! Once again, it was so nice to meet you 🙂

It is awesome to meet you too:) I often say one day when I do get to heaven I will be doing something with God’s animals:) I feel their hearts and know how much they want to live and they too want relationship…and want that connection to us that I feel God gave them:) I get sick when I read of people that hurt animals….that to me is terrible and awful awful awful as animals trust us to help them if they are in need….wild or tame they look to us in innocence and hope.

Very true, couldn’t agree more! their eyes speak a thousand words, if only humans could stop by and try to understand! It breaks my heart & a part of me dies forever, each time I come across instances of animal cruelty… I agree with you, animals make better friends than people, for they no deceit, malice nor any other vices exclusive to wicked humans (well, at least most of the humans)

I agree…and I know what you mean as I see it to in their eyes…I have three horses, Melody who is very human…Buck who is very horse like human…and Annie who is all eyes on me as her Mom as I got her when she was weaned at the breeders. She is a beautiful blood bay in the summer months and very striking….when I got her she was the last baby for sale out of 20-25 colts for the year and all the other colts that sold were either dun or palomino or buckskin…that was why she was left and she is amazing….big heart…and wants to trust you.
