Just Chillin in East Tennessee & an award

Since my return from Western Australia I've sort of just been chillin.  I got back just in time for the Kentucky Derby -  Mom had Mint Juleps prepared and was just waiting on daddy  to get home -  I took a quick look at the betting sheets -  I had taken the time to familarize myself with the horses via that the handy I-phone on the plane so I was ready to call the race for Mom and Dad.   Mom placed her bets - Dad placed his [this is why he was late getting home]  and we all settled in for the race!  I told them they should bet on the horse with the pink silks [you can review my tweets to confirm this]  but they said NO!!!!   What fools they were!    A shock to all when Mine That Bird ran away from the pack and won the race!!!!!   YEAH for him and big licks to that little jockey Calvin for another great win .... two years in a row at the derby. 

Daddy said that if they could find a small enough jockey he thought I could beat that horse!  hehehe!

So tell me what you think of my new surfing shirt.....since I'm a new surfer and all.....?????
When I got home I discovered that those little bully dogs from New York  had given me this "Lovely Blog" Award

Now wasn't that nice of those Bullies!  Here's how it works:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to up to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.  
Now comes the hard part...passing it on......well, I totally hate trying to "choose" any - so, I asked mom to put all my friends in a hat and I would pull out the names -  so here goes [if you already have it sorry - just pass it on - if I left you out - sorry, maybe your name will get pulled next time!]


and to anyone who reads this you are also welcome to the award.....so snag it!!!!!!

Now, I need some help with mom....everyone knows that I am a picky eater.  I don't make a secret of it...it's just the way I am.   Well, mom has been trying to "hold out"  thinking I will give in and eat the kibble if she waits long enough -  it's not working!   It is almost 11:00 here in East Tennessee and so far she hasn't even put so much as a single piece of kibble in my bowl.   They had pancakes for breakfast....they did NOT share....and here I am, tiny little guy, sweet little guy, entertaining little guy....and not even a single piece of kibble.    Can somebody tell her to get up off her old, blonde, southern  and now LAZY butt and scramble me some eggs!
