A long time ago, Aunt Mainey would only ever invite this one friend over to our place. So anytime my Momma and Pops would meet one of Aunt Mainey's friends, it would be her. After seeing only this friend for a long time, Momma and Pops decided to jokingly call her "the Only Friend." But as time went by, my Humans met more and more of Aunt Mainey's friends, so "Only Friend" became "Friend #1", as you could still count the amount of friends Aunt Mainey had on one paw.
Aunt Mainey and the Oof
Aunt Mainey swears that she has more friends than we know about, but Ostrich wisdom says that if you can't see them, they're not there.
Well, now Aunt Mainey has introduced us to a lot of her friends, so "Friend #1" is no longer a special enough title. That's when they decided to give her a new title, and that's how she became the Original Only Friend, or the Oof.
I remember when I started this blog, it was pretty lonely, and the only comments for over a month were from my Aunt Mainey and Aunt Jol. My Momma entered me into the DWB site, then after a while a pretty Mexican dachshund started to visit my blog regularly. Soon after that, a bunch of other dog-bloggers became my friends too, and I started getting more comments!
So in honor of the Oof, I decided to make an award to let these pawsome dogs know how special they are!
The Oof Award goes to the following dogs:
Lorenza
The Musketeers
Martha and Bailey
Happy
Maggie and Mitch
Sugar
Khyra
I've since made a lot of other really special friends, and you're all really pawsome too... but I felt that I should do something extra for these dogs. Thanks to everyone out there for being my friends!
Yay for an award named after me!!

You picked some great dogs to be your special friends. We couldn't have done it better.
ReplyDeleteHello Super Sonic, we found you via our phloophy tailed friend Khyra (Merdie too). What a surprise when we found out you live in Singapore....WOW....truly one of Dad's favorite places in the whole wide world. Lucky enough to spend many weeks there in 2000 and 2001....fell in love with such a wonderful, friendly, diverse metropolis. IMHO, the jewel of Asia. Stop by sometime: kt-goldens.blogspot.com

KT (Dad, Mr. Alpha etc) and the real boss - Miss Lady of Shoreline, Queen of the dog park

ReplyDeleteWhat a great award!
ReplyDeleteHey there Sonic! Oof is a great idea! Great to see you - sorry we haven't been by for a while. Flat Brutus has just kept us SO busy. Speaking of which, he arrived safely in Singapore yesterday and is hanging out with The Musketeers! So he should be coming to see you really soon (then on to Coco in Kuala Lampur) - just wanted to give you a little extra advance warning (in case you want to build on a guest suite or something for him!).

Brutus the Frenchie
Hi Sonic,
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear from you! Mommy says it's better to have one Good furrend then a bunch of furrends that aren't sooo good! And she's always right!
Luv,
Riley and Star.
