As you probably noticed, if you are a follower of our blog, we have been mostly absent in the last few weeks due to the inability of Mack and me to type since we don't have thumbs and having to wait on hu-mom to do it for us. Oh, if only our useless dew claws worked! Not only would we be blogging, we'd be on Face Book, tweeting and playing games on Pogo.com, sending emails, among other things.... any way, back to what I was going to say earlier. Our wonderful blogging friends have bestowed upon us *2* awards in the last few weeks and we haven't posted about them. So we're going to post the2 different awards given to us recently.

Lola is one of the funniest pugs we've met in a long time and her hu-mom is running at a close 2nd! Visit their blog to find out.
We can tag other blogs, but I think it would be wonderful if everyone reading this would tag themselves and tell us more about themselves! No need to be tagged by anyone.
Thanks Lola and her mom for sharing this with us. We are truly honored.
