My new friend Erin passed on this great award to me, I get to share it with some new friends.  Please stop by Erins blog, you’ll love her.  Thanks for this award!

The rules that came with the award say, I need to Thank the person that presented this award to us, tell you 7 things about me that you don’t know, pass it on to 15 bloggers whom I have recently discovered and think are fantastic and notify them that they received an award. So here goes…..

1. I love playing “catch” with a tennis ball, but it’s more like chase, cause I don’t give it back.
2. My favorite toy is my orange octopus from Mango & Dexter.
3. I take up so much room on my people’s bed at night they end up hugging the edges of the bed!
4. I get along with the kitties that live here better than I sometimes let on.
5. I eat my monthly heartworm medicine without even having to have it wrapped in anything, but sometimes it gets lost in my woozle.
6. I’m not as trained as I should be because my mom person hasn’t spent too much time on it, but I am very well behaved.

Stop by & meet these bloggers & tell ’em that Oskar sent you!

I’ve been very lucky to have gotten 2 new awards this past week.

The beautiful Samantha the golden gave me the very appropriate Golden Cup Award

The also beautiful Santa the miniature schnauzer passed on the Sunshine Award.

I’m supposed to pass on the Golden Cup Award to 5 friends and the Sunshine Award to 12 friends, but being a miniature schnauzer I don’t always follow the rules if I don’t feel like it.

I want to pass both of these awards to all of my friends. Maybe it’s lame to do it that way, but I love way too many bloggers to pick & choose. Please accept my awards with love & leave me a comment if you take it an pass it on!

Oskar’s mom person here.

Once again this year, Oskar is waiting for them to show his picture on the Oscar awards broadcast.

He took a voluntary bath with real soap today,

did some crazy zoomies to work off his nervous energy,

and put on his fancy tie. (A gift from his best friends, JD & Max)

If you wouldn’t mind, could you just leave him a little note congratulating him on his achievements? I don’t want a repeat of last year. He got so depressed when he realized that all of those people on TV are not actually there to celebrate him. Thank you.

(And Oskar’s Mom Person)

OMG, I’m so excited I can hardly tell my mom person what to type!

The Purple Hatter made me my very own Oskar Award. I can’t even believe how cool it is, take a look!

Now I want ALL of you to listen to me closely. This isn’t one of those random things where I give out an award to everyone.

I honestly & truly want all of my friends and readers to take this award for being so loyal and awesome. Please don’t make me do another post where I have to name every single one of you.

Please take this award and post it. I’m Oskar & I rock, but I only put up with friends who rock too. Give it on to any friends, dogs, cats, people, goats or whatever that are also super cool. It will mean alot to me if you post my Oskar award so that everyone knows how cool you are and that you are my friend!

Now I’m supposed to pass this award on to other people. I’m gonna pick some of my newest friends.

Again, thanks to Joy, I’m off to nap on my cool pillow.

I received this lovely award from Bruce the Cat. It says:

“This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY…nearness in space, time, and relationships!” In other words, “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut,even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Thank you Bruce, I feel very honored. Some of those words are very bit, but I do understand the part about being exceedingly charming!

I will pass this award on to:

• My little (big) buddies JD & Max
• Hamish (where have you been, Hamish?)
• My new great dane friend, Honey
• The dachshunds Oskar, Schatzi & Xena
• The huge hearted ‘Splorin Wolfies
• The brothers Bertie & Oliver
• The beautiful Sasha
• My fellow black mini schnauzer, Gus

These are all great doggie blogs, so please stop by & tell them hello!

JD & Max from Schnauzer & Schnauzer are my 2 very favority bloggy pups. They’ve taught me all sorts of things about Elevenses & carrots & having tails. It’s a good thing they live across the pond or we could be a real force to be reckoned with if we all got together.

They’ve given me two very wonderful awards. First was the Honest Scrap award:

I thought I had received this because I only have a scrap of a tail. (My nubbin.) But no, I ugess they just wanted to know a little more about me. I have to tell you 10 honest things about myself.

1. I’m excessively handsome.

3. My tail was docked when on the day I was born. My mom person wished they didn’t do that, but I don’t remember any pain.

4. Blogging has been super fun cause I have friends all over the world, but they don’t come here & take my food & toys.

6. There are 2 cats here that my mom person calls “my sisters”.

7. My mom person lies

8. When my hair gets long I get little curls on top of my head that my mom person can’t resist.

9. I’m very good at landscaping.

10. I’m very vocal, I voice my opinion about anything & everything.

Now I’m supposed to pass this award on to 7 other bloggers who I want to know more about.

1. Bruce at Bruce’s Paws. The only cat I know that I admit to associate with.

2. Gus at This Is The Day. It’s his mom person’s blog, but I’d like to know more about Gus.

3. Oskar, Schatzi & Xena from Luv My Dachshunds. Their really cool with their German names. One of them has the best name ever!

4. Eric from A Square Dogs Blog. He’s another Brit & looks like Asta from Thin Man movies.

5. Miss Kitty Von Purr Purr from Good Mourning Glory. Her mom person is a super good friend & I want to learn more about Miss Kitty.

6. Delila from Delila’s Place. She’s a cute Boston Terrier who fights against puppy mills & animal abuse.

7. Carolina from Brinkbeest In English. She’s got horses, dogs, cats & even pigs! I want to know more about all of them.

The second award that I received from JD & Max is the Pawsome Award.

This award is presented to those dog bloggers out there who know the meaning of GREATNESS. Their blogs are consistently interesting, funny, or informative. Their KINDNESS is extended to others without expectation of it’s return, and their FRIENDSHIP inspires others to do EXTRAORDINARY things. These are the blogs you can’t wait to read everyday. In short, they are AWE-INSPIRING, full of wonder, and simply PAWsome!

See I told you JD & Max were Aces!

To accept this award you must paw it forward to 4 others who you feel exemplify a “Paw”some Blog, and leave a note saying why you think they deserve the Pawsome Award!

1. Hamish & his baby sister Yuna. Hamish could have had his nose out of joint with the arrival of little Yuna, but I can already tell he’s gonna be a great big brother. Plus he likes hangers & that’s just weird.

2. Carolina from Brinkbeest In English. She has 3 dogs, 5 cats, 3 horses (one is a baby), 2 pigs & some chickens. Her life is devoted to her animals & I want to hear more about those piggies!

3. Bertie & Oliver at 2 Schnauzers, 1 Blog. They’re very wise & funny. They make me laugh when I go to their blog. Plus they get special chocolate dog treats.

Since I’m a rule breaker, I also pass it to Bruce the Cat. He’s not a dog, but he’s really cool and he looks great in yellow!

Thanks again to JD & Max for all the schnauzer love!

My blog friend Carolina from Brinkbeest in English gave me an award, because I’m awesome! She’s from the Netherlands, which my mom person says isn’t far from Germany where schnauzers come from.

This is what the award says:

This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary and personal values every day.

I’m not really sure what that means, but I’m good with that.

Carolina knows about cool animals because she has 3 dogs. Their not schnauzers, but not everyones can be blessed like my people. She also has 5 cats, 2 horses, 2 chickens, & 2 pigs! She almost lost me with the 5 cats thing, but her pigs are very handsome so I forgive her. If you don’t believe me click here for a picture of Nufnuf. (My mom tried to put Nufnuf’s picture on here, but Photobucket didn’t cooperate.)

Thank you Carolina & Nufnuf.

Finally!

It took almost 4 years, but finally a show recognizing me! I’m not sure why this guy with the accent is showing all of these parts of movies? Hmm, I guess their building up to the big stuff, you know, about me…

I’ll wait.

This is a looooong wait…
