Once again Follow-Up Friday is not co-hosted. The week just got away from me. 🙁 If you are interested in co-hosting please let me know, and any of my previous hosts if you’d like to repeat, I’d love to have you.
Follow up Friday, you know sometimes you post something that needs a follow-up or sometimes someone leaves you a comment and it sparks a new thought.
Yup, Follow-up Friday. Grab the badge and link up.

Dogs of Blogville Calendar Contest – Update
This is a hot contest between Kori and Ryder from All Things Collie and Schatzie from My Girlz Got Paws. They are only separated by 13 votes.
All told we had 20 dogs enter the contest, Val had a great suggestion about including all the dogs in the calendar and I think it will work. So this is how it rolls out.
The top vote getter will be on the cover AND inside the calendar.
The 12 photos with the most votes will be inside the calendar (one per month) and the remaining 8 dogs will be on the back page.
And I just realized that when I set up the polling I called Ginger from Dachsies With Moxie, Angel. So when you vote for Ginger, the results show her as “Angel.” I’m sure this is a Freudian slip as her mom has told me she has gone to the bridge.
My apologies to Ginger and her mom.
Reflections and Shining Star – Author’s Note
I love my dog. I hope it shows in my writings about her. Yes she can be frustrating at times but deep down, she’s a good dog.
A Day of Thanks – Update
I had a great day with my family yesterday, we were only missing my youngest daughter and her husband, who will be home for Christmas, my sister and her husband and a great-niece and nephew.
Hubby and I took the dogs for a walk in the morning, before everyone arrived. I caught Sampson rubbing his head on something gross and I knew he needed to be washed.
Once we got home I realized Delilah had ROLLED in something, her fur was all stiff like she had frosting in it, so the dogs who HATES baths, got one.
Just what I wanted to do before having a houseful of people. 😉
It only made sense to give Sampson one too.
Delilah is challenging when there is food around, for the most part we contained her fairly well while we were eating.
After dinner, however, she really stepped up her game.
After she helped herself to creamed spinach and turkey gravy, I put her outside and listened to her bark while we finished cleaning up.
Sampson had enough and found a cuddle buddy.
Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? What traditions do you have?
This is the Follow-Up Friday Blog hop.
I hope you don’t mind.
I like the idea of including all of us in the calendar! That will be exciting! plus adorable.
Love and licks,

Hey Sampson, Hey Delilah, Jetty here. Hi Miss Jodi.
So glad you had loved ones around you for the holiday. Mom asked me to share that Sampson’s picture with his buddy is absolutely Blogville Calendar worthy for December!
Have a fabulous Friday and we are off to vote.
Best wishes Molly
Rolling in stinky stuff is worth having to have a bath afterward. It’s a dog thing.
That last picture is adorable!
This calendar contest was a lot of fun. Wouldn’t it be great if this was continued every year? New people or dig rescues could be chosen as the recipients. (I’m not suggesting you have to be responsible fir running this every year, I imagine it’s a lot of work.) but it was a really great idea, and I hope a lot of calendars are sold.
Sweet photo!
Love that photo! I think that’s how I end up pretty much every night. My dog’s bum makes an excellent pillow.
Thanks again for working so hard with the calendar. You are amazing!
I love the idea of including all the dogs in the calendar. Delilah probably thinks Thanksgiving is a holiday just made for her since it involves all kinda of yummies!
Great idea on the calendar!!
Love the photo 🙂
