FEATURED
I’m excited to say that A Dog A Day has been featured on Dog Art Today. It’s such a fabulous collection of dog art, so be sure to head on over there and read the write up on A Dog A Day.
“Dog Art Today is devoted to daily dog art from around the world. Features include contemporary dog art, the history of dogs in art, dog art auctions, books, posters, fashion and decor. It’s the perfect place to find an artist to paint, sculpt or photograph your pet. And there are lots of great gift ideas for the dog-lover in your life.”
TAGGED
I’ve also been tagged by the talented Angela Higgins, a lifestyle photographer from Western Australia who takes darn good doggy photos too! I must say I was excited to be tagged (it’s my first time), but this topic is a tough one for me.
Here are the rules!
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 songs you are embarrassed to admit to others you like and tell why.
3. Tag 5 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Ok…given that I have a memory like a fish when it comes to music, it was hard for me to answer this one. But here goes….
Radiohead - Creep. I loved this as a teenager. I always thought of myself as a little bit weird (or unique) when I was younger, so I really identified with this song. When I was in high school I was friends with most people, but I felt like no-one really knew me. I hung out with the ‘cool’ kids, but while they were buying their designer clothes I bought all my clothes from the Op Shop and prided myself on finding funky clothes for 20c. It was liberating to be able to be so happy with my individuality. Too bad I quickly conformed to society in my late teens/early 20’s.
Toca’s Miracle - Fragma. I LOVE 90’s dance music. I can’t get enough of it and when home alone for a night I’ll grab a glass (or two) of red wine and dance around the house as if I were in a nightclub. I will NEVER get over 90’s dance music.
Don’t Leave Me Alone - Extreme. The first time I had my heart broken at the age of 16 I played this song over and over and over on my walkman while I wallowed in self pity. I played the tape (remember those days?) so much that it was pretty well ruined by the time I was over him. I don’t think you’ve lived until you’ve experienced teenage heart-break.
Rockefella Skank - Fatboy Slim. I have a secret obsession with High School or College romantic comedies. I watch them all, but usually have to wait until Brendan is away becuase he refuses to watch them with me. In the movie ‘She’s All That’ they dance to Rockefella Skank at the prom. I want to learn the moves. It’s very, very sad.
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion. Ok, so I watched Titanic a million or so times and I cried all the way through it. At the time I really wished my life was as romantic as that movie.
Now I have to tag 5 others:
Rebecca Olsen
Jamie Pflughoeft
Matt Allen
Grace Chon
Emilee Fuss
300 comments!
How is this for an interesting turn of events. We’ve just turned over 300 comments (Yay!) and Rebecca who is featured in today’s photo was lucky enough to comment on her own photo at just the right time. Winner! I love when the universe works this way.
Anyway, I have an extra special surprise for Rebecca. I submitted a photo of her puppy Max to Art Dog Blog who were running a little competition. It was just announced this morning that Max was one of the winners and his photo will be turned into a beautiful piece of artwork. I just love the stunning work produced my Art Paw Custom Pet Portraits and I can’t wait to see what they do with Max. I’ll be sure to post a photo of the finished product as soon as I receive it (and before I pass it to Rebecca).
Now, for Rebecca. It is truly your lucky day. Go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket!
