An Award By Any Other Name, Wouldn't Be As Sweet! AND I'm Going To BlogPaws!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!! It's Cody! My Mom and I don't usually blog about the blog awards we have received around the blog-o-sphere. The reason for that is mostly because we have been lucky enough to have received some numerous times and we just can't keep straight who has given us what. We don't want to leave anyone out by not mentioning them so we decided we will only blog about ones that we receive for the first time.

This is our FIRST "Irresistibly Sweet" blog award!!!!! We were given this award a few weeks ago by our friends Lars and James at Bengal Business.  We were waiting to blog about it because we knew that James hasn't been feeling very well and we were hoping that by the time we post this he will be feeling much better.

The requirements of this award are to tell you 7 unknown facts about me (US) that you may or may not know:

1) Blair  from Bad Blair Cat told me I was handsome the other day! I melted like butter in a griddle when I heard that! I think Blair is quite a beautiful lady cat!  Please go and visit Blair on her blog right here

2)  Mom was an "extra"on the HBO show "Hung" in 2010, she had a non-speaking part and her face was actually on that episode THREE times! She was also an extra on a movie that will be  released this fall, "Salvation Blvd" <<<<<click to see the trailer which will be in theaters July 15th.

3) I needed no adjustment time at all when my brother Dakota came to live with us. My Mom introduced us to each other by spraying perfume on herself, me and Dakota. I took one sniff, hissed at him once, and he learned right away who is the boss around here. ME. We never, ever had to be separated or gradually introduced to each other.

4)  My Mom was born in Long Island, NY, she also lived in Pittsburgh, PA, various suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio and now lives in Michigan.

5) My favorite toy in the world is my Neko Fly. I even know what drawer my Mom keeps it in. All she has to do is say "Cody do you want to play with TOY?" and I go to the proper drawer.

He found it!

6) My Mom is FINALLY going to go to BlogPaws!!!!! Mom is sooo excited  to be  one of BlogPaw's "Paws On The Ground, Ears In The Wind" insiders for the BlogPaws convention that will be held August 25 thru August 28th.  Are any of you going? If you have never been to BlogPaws (and even if you have!)  you should try and go! If you have questions Mom will be happy to answer them for you! If she doesn't know the answer she will find out the answer and get right back to you!  If you want to register you can do that here, if you want to read about who will be speaking at BlogPaws you can do that here!

My Mom wants to meet you in "pawson!!"


7) BlogPaws has a special SmartPhone app that will be introduced in a few weeks! Stay tuned for more info!

Now, we are supposed to give this award to 15 bloggers who we think are "Irresistibly Sweet", some of the ones we selected may not be pet blogs, but we love them just as much as we do the pet bloggers! This award has gone around the pet blogosphere quite a bit so most have had it, I just wanted to share the love with some others as well! If your name isn't here, we still love you! We are trying not to duplicate those who have already received this award!

 Soooo, in no particular order, here they are!
















VIVA LA VIDA VEGAN-LIVING & LOVING THE VEGAN LIFE

The final blog on the list happens to be
 my Mom's  brother's blog, (my Uncle!)
he is a superb writer who used to write for
Examiner.com
and who runs rings around me
when it comes to the written word
please show him some love!

  18. You totally deserve any great award for your wonderful blog and Cody what fascinating info on you and Momma...I know someone famous now :D!! I will watch for her in the movie since I don't get HBO. Rosie has a toy similar to the Neko fly too that makes her batty!! She is busy helping nurse her Daddy back to health. He got very ill up north and we had to cut our trip short and come back to the Dr. Missed reading you while I was gone;Hugs, Sue and Rosie.

  32. First off - congrats on the award! I love the 7 things listed, esp. how Cody 'finds' his Neko Fly- so cute! And Blogpaws? I am clueless! But not for long as I will go read all about it!
    And then...Thank you! I feel so honored to be a recipient! I will do my best to follow the rules and post soon! You are truly "Irresistibly Sweet"!
    (Cody - a goodie is on the way for you!)

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Erika and Blair, thank you! I am glad you are blushing! :)

    @Art and Sew forth, thank you!!! Please do NOT worry about posting about the award, trust me I know how these things can be a little annoying lol (albeit flattering!!!!) Please, please, if you are busy don't even worry. I waited to post mine for a few weeks. Also, you are most welcome!! xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hear hear... and so very well deserved! Cody I just think you are yummy and you are so cute looking for your Neko Fly - how clever are you!?! The Blog Paws convention is just too far away but it sounds very exciting. I would love to meet your mum but that'll have to wait until one day she comes to Greece. Although she should really stay at home with you and Dakota :)
    Hugs... and thanks so much for extending the award to God's Little People - we are sweetly humbled ♡

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Gods Little People thank you!! One day it is Mama's dream to go to Greece and if that ever happens you know my Mom will want to see you! Don't worry about posting about this award, my Mom just wanted to recognize you (at least a little bit) for all of the good that you do, my Mom and I adore your blog and all that you do for the kitties of Greece! We love you!

  36. Caren.....learn something new everyday... I never knew you were a, movie star... I need your autograph :-)

  37. My Human is so disorganized I never know WHERE my toys might be! But that does mean I find they laying around in odd places sometimes, MOL! She sometimes hides my nip cigar or even Mr. Nippy himself in my tunnel for me to find. I liked seeing those pawsome pictures of you Cody! Hope your Mom has fun at blogpaws, though it doesn't quite seem fair that the kittehs don't get to go. Grrrr.

  42. Awww Caren thank you so much for the award!! I love that you can add femme fatale actress to your resume, that is so cool! ;) I love the Neko toys, I think I should get one for my girls, the only problem is that my corgi loves those kinds of toys, I think he was a cat in a previous life. Hope you are having a beautiful week!

    ReplyDelete
  43. YAY BLOGPAWS! I officially got my tickets/hotel/flight just a few weeks ago so I will officially get to meet you! Can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Aww! How cute! I love the photos!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thank you so much for the award!!! That Neko toy looks pretty cool! Lux learned how to break into the closet after he found out that's where we keep Da Bird... and if he hears me open the drawer that contains the laser pointer he immediately goes crazypants looking for that red dot. Smart cats!

  46. Caren, thanks so much for thinking of me. I appreciate it., Those pictures of Cody in your drawers are too cute.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Congrats Cody and Caren! I can't think of anyone sweeter! Well-deserved!

    Cody you are hilarious! You're looking at that Neko-Fly, like I'm looking at the dessert on your award! Yum! :)

    So your Mom is definitely going to BlogPaws! We have to talk at some point! :)
