Now isn’t that a handsome pooch tucked into the new shiny award below? Yep, it’s about time that a canine connection was recognized here in the blogosphere! You read that correctly: Frankie the dog has taken over the controls here at Emjayandthem.
Rom’s buddy Dianna at These Days of Mine shared this award via her kitty cat, Sundae. Despite what you might think, I’m not anti-kitty. I’m cat-neutral. Not that I know any cats personally. Unless you count that fat cat across the street who lies in the yard and stares at me; it’s not like we’ve been introduced though because Rom doesn’t let me cross the road. I think he laughs at me for that. Whatever.
Anyways, so on to the award. Apparently the rules have been edited over time but here’s what I understand we’re to do:
- Answer some questions
- Nominate other
dogsblogs - Include the award here
- Pay the love forward by telling others they’ve been nominated
- Pay the love back by linking back to the one who nominated you (dance with the one who brought you, so to speak)
What is My Favorite Color? It’s a tie between black & white.
What is My Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink? plain ole H2O works just fine for me. I’m partial to tap, shaken not stirred.
What is My Favorite Animal? Duh! Dogs.
Do I Prefer Facebook or Twitter? I prefer Myface.
What is My Favorite Number? 5:15. That’s when Rom gets home and all is right with the world!

I’ve been part of every important milestone in this family. This pic was taken on my brother’s wedding day; I had a purple bow on!!
What is My Favorite Flower? I really dig Rom’s peonies ’cause I can operate in super stealth mode in there.
What is My Passion? Sleeping, eating, greeting, napping, stretching, sniffing, eating, dozing and grilling!
Many of Rom’s readers have award-free blogs, so we decided only to name those bloggers that we know have furry friends to share this with. BUT we invite all of you who wish to accept this award to please do so.
