2012 Petties awards and my people sister's birthday

Friends, I has been having some issues in the technicals and innertubes, and also with Mama hogging up all my computer time, but I wants to get on here with a quickness and tells you about a few things. The first thing is that the winners of the 2012 Petties Awards will be announced at sixty o'clock this evening! (now, that is sixty o'clock in Reuben time). I sends a big floppy tongue slurp to all the lovely dogs, peoples, and yes catses, maybe even a crab, or a hamster or two, who voted for me in the category (it should be DOGetory by the ways) of Funniest Pet Blogger of 2012. Also of note is some of the other nominables this year (truly they is all of note, I just no has read the notes from every single one): Daisy the Curly Cat, Oskar and Pam at Pet Blogs United, Glogirly and a catses over at Catfoodbreath. It is a honor for me, Reuben, just to be included among all of the fine nominables. Oh, and if I wins, Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society will get some monies to help get more belly rubs to more dachshunds in need. Oh,and  also medicals.

I's got my snack, let's watch the awards!

In other newses, Hatfield the orange kitty has been fighting with other catses again. We thoughted he was done with that, being the senior kind of catses that he is, but I guess he has an intruder on his territories. I knows all about that, unfortunately.

Go away, White Fuzzy!

Yesterday was people sister's birthday, and I was met with a unwelcome kind of surprise:

No, not Gretchen again! In MY house?!

Howevers, it was very exciting to has all of the foodstuffs and wrapping paper and Hatfields to chase, so I no minds too much that Gretchen camed over. I had to fiercely growl at her a few times, of course.

This is me barking at Gretchen while Hatfield looks on. 

But then this happened:

Totally not homemade 

And then this happened:

And eventually this:

Too sleepy to uncurl my tongue

Happy barkday - er, birthday - to Leah, my loving people sister!

She had the chocolate cupcake. I no had a chocolate cupcake.

Last day of the votings for the 2012 Petties

Friends, today is the last day of the votings in the 2012 Petties Awards. Perhaps I has mentioned that I, Reuben, has nominations for Funniest Blog or Blogger of the Year? I is a very modest kind of dog, so likely I no has. If you would like to support me, Reuben, on this very last day of votings, please do a clicking of the button below:

This is the button I was referring to earlier.

They no will announce the winners until September 7, which is about eleventy years away in Reuben years. So probably I will just go back to vigilant napping until Mama wakes me up for the award show. Seriously, they is having a awards show! Friends, I is up against 3 catses for the coveted title, and we all knows how I feels about catses. But in realities, those catses is much more established in their bloggings than me, Reuben, who only has done bloggings for less than one year. Which is like eleventy-hundred Reuben years, by the way. So I no is expecting a big win (although if I no was such a humble dog, I would say how much I totally deserves it and the judges should just give it to me based on my high level of adorableness). All jokings aside, I bears no ill wills to those catses and I has a great happy just for the nominations.

In other newses, I has been very growly and bitey in recent moments, Mama has a suspicious that my nine glorious tooths is hurting again and it maybe is time for more extractions. In an unrelated news story, Mama will take me to the organic Treats Factory on Thursday! She says it is very close to vet's office, but to no has a worry, for even though it might appear that we is going to vet, it no is true. Hatfield the orange kitty does has to go to vet though, for his thyroid test. Mama tolded him that they is going to the Fish Market; seriously how dumb is that kitty, hehehehehehehe!

*Smartness is overrated anyway*

I no has written much about it yet, but I has been on the edge of my seats watching the amazing competings of the Blogville Olympicals. I has appeared in a few events myself and I has a great appreciation for Mayor Frankie and all the hosts for the time they spends to make this the best blog-related Olympicals there ever was!

I hopes the next Olympicals has an ear-flapping event

I, Reuben, is a finalist for the 2012 Petties Blog Awards!

I has so many honoreds, I no knows what to say! I would like to thank the academy, all of my dogblogger friends, my mama, and.... what you says now? I no has won yet? Oh. Well, surely it is only a matter of time.

Already I has won this cool graphic!

So now you is asking yourselves, how does I vote for Reuben to be the Funniest Blog or Blogger? It is very easy, for all you must does is click on this link. Why you should votes for me, you asks? It is very simple. I is the funniest dog in the whole of the entire universes, and also, Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society will receive a very generous $1000 donation for my winnings! You gots to scroll down to the "funniest blog" ballot and click on the button for Floppy Tongue Joy, and here is the most amazing part: you can come back every day and vote again! Why they no does this for all kinds of elections?

Mama says I no should write my acceptance speech until, you knows, I has actually won. But she is wrong, so I will start working on it now!
