I may be gone some time........




Well it’s ‘au revoir’ folks for a while. My mum explains it all on her blog here Henry the Dog's Mum. I think things aren’t going too well for her and UHugh, but they could be much worse. I’m going into the kennels whilst she goes over to the UK, but even when I get back I may not be able to blog for a while.

In the meantime, I want to thank Dumdad from The Other Side of Paris for two more awards.

As you know, I don’t normally pass awards on, but this time I’m going to make an exception. I’m going to pass them both on and bugger the rules that are attached to each award. It won't hurt for once to break them.


All my human bloggers have got cupboards full of trophies, and all well deserved, so you don’t need any.

So, I’m going to pass these awards on to all my doggy pals – and if I forget any of you, pop along and pick them up anyway

The first one is the Premio Dardos Award. Premio Dardos apparently means “prize darts” in Spanish. It is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. That can't be me - it sounds much too grand, but hey, what the hell. I AM grand. And so are my doggy pals.





The second award is this one.


The premise of this award is blogs that one couldn't miss each morning.

So they BOTH go to:


Life of Stubby Stubby’s a real ‘eco warrior’ and very good pal.


Clive who is a true hero, a working dog who brings a ray of sunshine into the life of ‘Little Man’


Frankly Speaking – my friend Frankie Furter – a little Daschund who does stuff for charity and makes me feel humble.


Minnie-Moo – the rescue lab, who’s simply great fun and quite a babe.


Detroit Dog – because they do good things for dogs and it was one of the first blogs I started to follow


Ruby Isabella Jones – I love her philosophy, and she’s also a babe.


Scruff the Wonder Dog – a new find, and mum thinks he’s cute.


Baby Vodka – mum says he’s the cutest mini schnauzer she’s seen (other than me of course)


Finding Sirius – a lovely blog about a rescue dog & other rescue dogs & worthy causes – you must pop over there and have a look. The photographs and stories are enchanting.

NONE OF YOU HAS TO PASS THE AWARDS ON. They’re simply for you to keep in your trophy cupboard.

Ok, so I’ll be off.

Au revoir & HOPE to see you again one day soon.

(I'll be lurking)

Congratulations on more well-deserved awards! Looks like you've passed them on to some wonderful blogging dogs!

Your mum explained things very well. You take care of yourself, Henry. Mary and I will miss you, (not as much as your mum and UHugh will) and will blow kisses to you from across the pond. Sweet boy.

Henry, I think Misty was dreaming about you last night 'cos she was making funny noises in her sleep and her fluffy tail was a-waggling.

Mummy has these awards so we'll leave them for all the others but I want to tell you that I love you more than Misty does and she might be the beauty but I'm the one with the brains

Yeh, right!

oh dang! the kennels!

oh well, nothing to do about it, eh?

You know, none of my dogs drinks coffee, ever, but, sometimes I have hot cocoa and Gni Gni doesn't mind her dogbone dipped in it.
just a splash, though.

Well, good luck, Henry.
If you ever want to visit the US, c'mon over! We REALLY know how to party!
Tonight?
CHICKEN!
YAY!

Henry -- Thank you for the awards!

Quasar wants to say something to you Man-Dog to Man-Dog:

Henry, Have fun at the kennels. And I hope you meet up again with those wonderful twins, or perhaps a beautiful Afghan hound! I live vicariously through you, you know, so you must not stay away too long from blogging.

Regards,

Mr. Q.

I've just come back to blogging after a couple of weeks away from it and you're now going away ! ! ! !

Oh Henry....What am I going to do without you. Your cute little face - and behind - really brightens up my day.

Have a good time in the kennels and hope it won't be too long before you're back with us.

Lots of love

Marie (and her mam...)

Dear Henry,

I'm dictating this to Mommy because I haven't yet figured out this opposable thumb thing. I just found your blog and find you are quite a good dog. That's the highest form of praise a dog can get, though I rarely do get it, because I'm a bit of a nuisance. (Mommy notes: shoe eater extraordinaire)

My brother Timmy and I go to the kennels every Christmas because Mommy goes to see her dad and he's quite blind and always tripping over us. I don't know why he can't smell us but Timmy says humans have bad noses.

Anyway, Mommy says I'm rambling but she does it too. I hope to see you back here soon. Good luck to your Mommy and UHugh.

(rushes in pushing Misty out of the way to get to the keyboard first)

Henry, Henry - guess what? We're walking off our leads now along the canal path. Mummy has a little bag of treats in her hand and when we run too far ahead she waves the bag and shouts something and then me and Mist race back to see who can get to her first.

It makes mum laugh a lot and daddy took a film of us doing it.

I miss you H and Mist does as well.

Henry the Dog said...

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I really miss you all. I've just sneaked on whilst mum is making some important phone calls to a big place in London where this Goliath guy comes from who mum and Uncle Hugh are going to have to fight and whose ankles I'm definitely going to savage. I'll show him who's boss! Anyway, enough of that.

Anonymous - I definitely like my bitches with a bit of meat on them, so that's a DEFO xxx

Poppy - you and misty have got your mum sussed, I reckon. In fact you are way more switched on than I am. I run back to mum when she calls me even if she DOESN'T have any treats. Perhaps I could start pretending I'm not hearing her. I miss everyone too, but mum needs the computer so much these days. I got back from the kennels this morning then something important arrived in the post and mum's been really busy ever since. Mum says that the next couple of months will be the busiest, then it might calm down. I've no idea what's going on but mum's got her serious face on at the mo, so I'm just going to make sure I give her lots of licks and cuddles. She's not maudlin, just focused. xxx

Indrayani said...

Ohh !! I gave you another award!
Go see!!

♥ Braja said...

Please don't go away Henry. I'll just cry...i missed you so much when i was offline and now i'm here and you're gone...my heart breaks...big kisses to you, i'm going to writeto your mummy now...

misty the bichon said...

Henry, it's good to see you here again. Mum is on the machine again and we're on our bean bags either side of her. I used to be scared of it because it made creaky noises when I got on and off and now I love it. We have competitions to who can snore the loudest lying on our backs.

Pat said...

I'm so glad I came by to just check on you and you had posted. Hope your Mum is doing great and you too. Miss you guys. Hugs, Pat

Marie and John said...

I know you're in the kennels but just in case you happen to be passing a computer, I want to wish you, your mum and Uncle Hugh a happy Easter.

boneman said...

well, Gni Gni doesn't miss anyone, anymore.
By now she's in her next pack, and I hope she's as happy as I made her.
Anal cancer took her away, thoughn ot without a fight.
(and screw peta, the lousy beggars! no help were they in suggesting killing my baby back in April. She went all the way to deep Summer before she couldn't 'go' anymore.
Dang.

Now our other two seem to be racing for their holes out back!
my heart has a hard time with this.
maybe I should just dig three holes?

nah!
gonna make my friends com to the wake with old clothes and shovels! Earn their chow, as it were!

Hope all is still well with you folks.
Will still help if you need it.
