Fridays are always welcome, but this week more than ever I am glad it is Friday. Ahhh a couple schedule-less and plan-less days ahead. Sounds good. I am sure they will fill up like they always do, but for now… nice.

I am not sure why there were so many distractions pulling me in so many directions this week. Maybe because I wasn’t diligent in making my regular To Do list? Could it be that simple? Too many different things going on? Yeah probably.

Even my pets have felt it…

Pets are always there when you need them. They understand.

Big hunter instincts take over momentarily.

Gotta love the Barnie!

Do you ever have that feeling of having such a huge TO DO list that all you want to do is crawl under the covers and read a good book all day?

Pets feel the same way too, sometimes.

I had an amazing day yesterday – working with 23 Greyhounds just off the track. I will be posting photos and the “rest of the story” this weekend…

My buddy DrV over at pawcurious is not one to sit around and wait for life to happen. Oh no. First it was the Blogathon, then Hounds for Haiti, now her very own awards deal.

She has entered a few ‘best of’ blog award things, and finally decided to hold her own blog award competition/ceremony. Go DrV! I am not really up on all of the competitions out there, but was so happy to … < gasp! > … win one. Wow! What a sweet surprise.

My VetMed blog at About.com won the “Best Informational Blog” award. Thank you to whoever nominated my site and for people who voted. (blush)

Here’s the scoop:

I don’t know if it is cabin fever or just what, but Barnie has been extra feisty and playful lately. He LOVES it when a human or dog chases him, so he is always darting out at the most surprising moment in  hopes of inciting a chase. He sits in-wait behind his Attack Cat Shield, pawing any unsuspecting  passerby he can grab. Sometimes though, Barnie is just left to his own thoughts.

Barnie ponders his day.

The dogs, as usual, were in the house. After I took these photos, Barnie hopped down and resumed his dog-bugging duties.

Barnie was, for once, minding his own business. He wasn’t pestering the dogs or dashing underfoot. He looked so cute watching the world go by that I grabbed the camera. He was enjoying his time in the limelight. After all, the dogs already had their modeling session.

Had the spotlight all to himself. Until his buddies showed up.

The dogs just HAD to see what was up. And thus Barnie’s modeling session was cut short.
