Declan just couldn't understand why he hadn't won The Rear of the year Award

I think Ms Purty Butt might have beaten you to it mate......!

Give me your best alternative caption, and you could win the Purple Sparkly Toilet Seat for June!

Nearly Wordless Wednesday 6/6

Mum said the boy who had been throwing stones at me was fat.... but I know he was just big boned. Hehe!



Don't forget to leave me your best alternative caption and you could win the Purple Sparkly Toilet Seat for June!

The Purple Sparkly Toilet Seat Is Back!!

June is upon us and it is time to announce the category for this month's Deccy's Excellent Blog Award or the Purple Sparkly Toilet Seat, as it is commonly known!

This month the award will go to the Best Alternative Caption to any of my Wordless Wednesday posts in June.


You may suggest as many alternative captions as you like, at anytime from the first post on 6th June up until midnight GMT on 30th June. The winner will be announced in early July.

Now, I don't want you all to get over excited, but this time there will be a very small prize to be won. Don't go giving up your employment just yet though, will you?! Mum says we can send it anywhere including Mars, (that's how small it is hehe!).

Have a good weekend everybody and don't forget to call in on Monday to see me as part of Pitty Post Day and help support the ending of discrimination against Pit Bulls and other so called "dangerous breeds".

Deccy's Excellent Blog Award - The March Winner!

Well I have been up until all hours trying to decide on a worthy winner of this months award.....

and really they were all so good I just couldn't decide. Mum said perhaps I could let her choose. Hmmmmm...well okay Mum, but you're not going to find it easy.......

You are absolutely right Deccy, they are all very good and all for different reasons. Very funny, great pictures, a lovely story. But, as you are so fond of telling people, this is your award and you can do what you like, right? I'm assuming this privilege has been passed to me, so I'm going to make the award for my own very personal reasons.

Between March 12th and March 25th. Leslie at Bringing up Bella wrote a series of 6 posts entitled 14 years in 14 days. 14 years in 4 minutes was just one of them and happened to be a Wordless Wednesday posting. Essentially the posts are a tribute to Beau, Leslie's best boy and Bella's predesessor. The Wordless Wednesday alone made me cry (!) but please read all the posts to fully appreciate this story.

Leslie eloquently and beautifully captures in words and pictures something that I am sure many of us will have found hard to express about an exceptional pet. For me it was Flynn - you all add your own names! These posts capture so well my feelings about my wonderful, kind, gentle and funny boy.

As a caveat, I must say that non of this detracts from the current man in our lives! Flynn he ain't, but we love Deccy non the less for it.

So without further ado. Bringing Up Bella please collect your award with our love!

Deccy's Excellent Blog Award - March

The time has come to announce the category for March that could enable you to win my gorgeous Purple Sparkly Toilet Seat Award!

For March, I am looking for  The Very Best (Nearly) Wordless Wednesday Post. "Best" can mean anything; the funniest, wittiest, most stunning photograph - whatever you think will appeal to a slightly off the wall Greyhound! Here are the rules:

• Blog posts placed online between Midnight GMT on the first day of March and Midnight GMT on the last day can be considered.
• I will read my friends' posts in the usual way and make a short list of potential recipients.
• If you would like to nominate any of your own posts or those of your friends (as many as you like) you can do so by emailing me a link to Declan's Dogs Blog
• Once the nomination period has closed I will consider my own shortlist alongside any nominations received from you and will make the award.
• My decision is final. Because it's my award and I can say that. HeHe!!
• The winner will be notified and invited to collect the award from my blog. They may then display it proudly & prominently on their own blog! 
• Only one award is given to one blog each month (exclusive or what?!)
• Unless they object, the winner will also be named Blog of the Month on my Declan's dogs Blog Directory

Remember! February's category Make Me Giggle The Loudest! closes midnight GMT on Wednesday. I will then publish the nominations and announce the winner within a few days.

I hope you'll all enjoy this bit of fun and want to take part. Remember this is the only award for which you have to do practically nothing!
