Hey there.
Sampson here, and Delilah’s right next to me. Today we’re picking up the slack for mom. We found out yesterday that she waited over two weeks to accept an award.
Delilah: Quite frankly I find this….well….unacceptable. I mean, she expects me to learn three or four tricks in a night and she can’t even be bothered to accept an award in a reasonable amount of time.
I swear I wish they made a clicker I could use, I could whip that woman into shape if I…..
Sampson: Delilah, can you focus? We’re here to answer some questions that go along with the Super Sweet Blogging Award we’re accepting for mom today.
You know the one presented to her by Gizmo from Terrier Torrent?
Delilah: Oh, yes that little fluffy dog mom pointed out to us the other day. I’m not sure I’d like being a fluffy dog, it seems to me there’s a lot more work that goes into keeping yourself presentable then our short fur. I mean I suppose….
Sampson: DELILAH! Can we get on with it? It’s almost time for our walk.
Apparently these awards come with some type of guidelines…rules if you will, that we must follow. This one has questions we need to answer.
Are you ready? Here are the questions, I’ll answer first.
1. Cookies or Cake?
Sampson: Cookies of course.
Delilah: Cookies, definitely cookies. I mean what dog doesn’t like cookies?
2. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Sampson: Vanilla, I’ve never had chocolate.
Delilah: Well duh, I’m chocolate, of course I love chocolate, even though mom just about loses her mind when she catches me eating it.
3. What is your favorite sweet treat?
Sampson: Strawberry milkshakes.
Delilah: I’d have to say chocolate….wait a minute! You get strawberry milkshakes? When do you get strawberry milkshakes? I never get strawberry milkshakes. MOM!!
4. When do you crave sweet things the most?
Sampson: The only real time I eat sweets is at 9:00 pm snack time.
Delilah: Oh yesssss!! Snack time! I LOVE snack time, when she takes those little bones and freezes them with pumpkin and applesauce OR better pumpkin and yogurt. Oh, oh wait my absolute favorite is the Kong stuffed with pineapple and yogurt. YUMMO. We haven’t had those in a long time, I wonder…
Sampson: Hem, hem. The questions Delilah, let’s finish this up please.
5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be?
Sampson: The closet I’m called to anything sweet is Punkin.
Delilah: Duh, Sweet Pea, Dad always calls me Sweet Pea. I love Dad.
Sampson: The next part of the award involves passing it along to 13 other bloggers.
Delilah: 13?!! Do we even KNOW 13 bloggers?
Sampson: Do you want to help or not?
Delilah: Well of course I want to help. I’ll nominate all the blogs with the handsome dogs….
Sampson: Never mind Delilah, I’ve got this one.
Sampson: Well there you have it, unless Mom’s been hiding something from us.
Delilah: I wouldn’t put it past her, she’s tricksy that one.
Sampson: As I was saying, as far as we know she is caught up now. I hope you enjoyed our picks for the Super Sweet Blogging Award, and we hope you visit their blogs and make some new friends.
Delilah: Special thanks to our friend Gizmo for passing this award along to us.
Sampson: Is it time for our walk yet?

Congratulations! I know how mom’s are, so busy sometimes that our social media lives that are a top priority start to slide. I have an award to accept as well but mom says we have to wait a few more days until she has time to help me out with it…grr…I know she means well, so I won’t fire her 😉
Deb Phelps says
congratulations!!!! Hang tough samson and delilah, she is only human…
Leslie says
LOL – congratulations and thanks for the laugh. I love the dogs answering the questions. Brilliant idea. 🙂
You’ve got more than a few blog here that I have not yet discovered – very excited to go out and do so now.
And thank you for passing the award along to us. We are embarrassingly far behind in our acceptance posts. It is my “resolution” for 2013 to finally get caught up on my thank yous. Until that time, thank you. It is appreciated.

Hi Jodi,
Loved the answers that Sampson and Delilah gave today–made me giggle.
Thank you for including us on your sweet list. I am going to try and do a better job of accepting and posting these awards in the New year.
Happy New Year.
Kolchak, Felix & Jodi says
Congratulations guys! Mama is actually a cake girl. You know, she loves her cakes!
jan says
Thank you for thinking of us. If we were only two weeks behind in something, we would think we were ahead.
Jen says
Congratulations on your award! There’s a lot of sweetness in your house 😉
Georgia Little Pea says
Congratulations Sampson and Delilah! And thank you for thinking of us. The Typist is freaking out because #1 she hasn’t had cupcake or any kind of cake in 10 days and withdrawal is tough bikkies. She’s almost drooling over those rainbow ones in your piccie. #2 you have now reminded her that she hasn’t done anything with the awards I got last year, as in 1 year ago. Should we smack her? Really hard?
While I’m here, and in case I don’t get to pop by tomorrow, happy new year to everyone! Especially to the mysterious Andrew;) Hooroo! X

Two weeks to accept an award is nothing. Practically no time at all…lol. I can hear Sampson and Delilah having that exact conversation while answering the questions. Congrats on your well deserved award.
Basil says
Well done one your award, and how lovely to talk to you both for the first time! (Since I’ve been following anyway!) I think you should both take over more!!
