My First Blogger Award!

I don't normally participate in AWARDS  that are given just to be collected. That's okay, if you have the kind of blog that is for that sort of thing. I visit those blogs sometimes myself and enjoy them. But my blog is more about canine information like training, hunting, health reports, and everything to do with puppies including lots of pics.



This AWARD is different and has a good goal behind it. That goal is to help bloggers get to know each other. I think it is an excellent idea and I love the spirit of the award.

This Award is called, The Stylish Blogger Award. I am honored to accept this award from Dennis @ Adventures With Dad.  It is my first, and I appreciate it very much! If you haven't visited Dennis'  site, please do. It's all about the adventures  of one Dad and three kids. You'll love it!
Hey Dennis....We have a love of Classic Cars in common! Love the rev of the engines and squealing tires! Oh yea!....Oh wait....Only in the LEGAL races though, of course. lol

This Award comes to me with 4 Requests.
  1. Thank the person who gave you the award, by providing a link to their site. You see the link, right? Go visit Dennis!
  2. Share 7 things about yourself, that other bloggers might not know.
  3. Give the Award to 15 newly discovered or interesting bloggers.
  4.  Notify each of those bloggers to present the Award.
So, to continue on with the 7 Things you may not know about me....
  1. I don't hunt now, but I have shot a few grouse on the wing. Now, I only shoot with my camera.
  2. I HATE being cold, but LOVE the Snow.
  3. Besides Family, Photography and Videography are my First Love.
  4. I get excited like a kid when I hear the sound of a loud race car, classic car or Harley Davidson.
  5. I am proud that I was finally able to quit smoking after being very addicted for over 35 years. 
  6. I was born 20 miles North of Nashville, Tennessee and lived the first 11 years of my life there.
  7. I love to fish in the summer and can sometimes out-fish my husband!

And now, It's my pleasure to give this Award to these most deserving blogs:


.....Now Go Visit Each and Every One! 

Just one note.....
I have tried to limit my list to people who have not yet received this Award, so as to not defeat the purpose.

Oh...And Theresa, Texwisgirl, I saw your comment out there that you enjoyed my blog. What a nice little surprise all tucked away quietly awaiting me. 
Thanks a Bunch and Back At Cha'!

      Thank you for thinking of me, Karen, but due to technical difficulties, I have become an "award free blog".

      You have some interesting tales to tell, I see! I like the classic cars myself and as I out-fished my ex every time, he quit taking me!

      Have a very nice day now!

      Congratulations! GSC is special because its stew of text and photos is spiced by its creator's insights and love for dogs. GSC does not "deserve" this award; GSC has *earned* it.

      Now that I'm home from work I have some extra time to say thanks for a good job. I've always enjoyed your blog. It's always interesting and informative, I've picked up so many great tips about dogs and enjoyed chasing grouse around Montana with Dan and his friends. I feel like I almost know Happy, JJ, Blackie and Mickey and all the pups. Great job and keep up the good work!

      I do have a problem
      u read my blog but so u know my dog make up
      welsh terrier dog ( leader) age 4
      bulldog bitch aged 4
      welsh terrier bitch 5
      scottish terrier 4

      my problem is that the terriers bark at other dogs when on the lead... off the lead they are fine, but on the lead..terrible

      when they see a dog I will relax and ask the owner to let them all "met" then when we engage in conversation the dogs will relax,,, but not all owners will stop!

      ideas?
      please emial me

      My K-9 Baron is a Mini LH Dachshund...no chasing rabbits or hunting for wounded deer for him. Though I believe he'd love to do both! Interested in your blog because of your love of hunds!

      That's a really great list Karen...esp the quiting smoking part, that is outstanding!

      That sound is something people love or hate...it's a common bond among people that love it...there's nothing like it imo.

      I'm a real dog lover, have always had at least one up until the past couple years. I love visiting your blog and seeing what you are up to here.

      Your blog was an easy pick for me Karen, and I love the fact that this award was really all about shouting out other blogs...I'll be sure to check out your list.

      Have a great weekend!!

      -Dennis
