The Addictive Blog Award!

Another blog award! This one from Mason's mom, of Big Stinky Dog. Thank you so much!

  The rules of this award are:

1. Thank the blogger who gave you the award and link back to them.
2. Tell you how I started my blog and why I blog.
3. Nominate 10 other bloggers.

(why is it always 10?! I guess I should be grateful it isn't 15! ^^)

I started this blog a little more than a month before Elka turned 2. One of my coworkers, for a long time, kept asking me "When are you going to start a dog blog?" Later than I should have, evidently. For one, I would have taken far more puppy pictures of Elka (or maybe not....my certain little Doberman puppy was quite the bundle of incidental mischief when un-managed.) I would have shared all of those lovely milestones of the initial training, the good and the bad. Ah well, water under the bridge.

I blog because I love talking about Elka, dogs, Dobermans, and dog behavior. Not all of the people that I know in person are as interested in these topics. There are an infinite number of people on the Interweb who are, however, and a lot of them are really great! I love hearing everybody's dog stories and seeing their pictures. I'm sorry to share in their tragedies as well, though the support that comes in from all quarters can be wonderful to see. Reading everybody's blogs brings them to my house, and I hope that when people read about Elka, that's kind of how they feel as well (laser eyes and all).

And now, 10 other blogs:

1. My Imperfect Dog

2. Heart Like a Dog

3. Ruby the Airedale

4. Spotty, Spotty, Polkadotty
