I took the dog quiz...A Golden retriever, thats what I am.....<BR/>"You are a Golden Retriever!<BR/>Laid-back, sociable and well-groomed, you've got your own hip little pack of groupies who just love to be around you. You have a brain inside that adorable little head of yours, though you use it mostly to organize your hectic social calendar. You never poop out at parties, and since you're popular with ladies and men, as well as children and adults, you dish out your wit, charm and luck to whomever is close enough to bask in it. The top dog likes you and wants to be your best friend, despite the fact that he doesn't really know what the heck you do. No one does, in fact, but everyone loves you all the same. A true foodie, you�ve got your keen ears fine-tuned to make sure you don't miss out on the opening of a trendy new place to nosh. But your youthful days of being able to wolf down food 24-7 are wagging behind you, meaning you've got to watch what you eat so you don�t pull a Brando and outgrow your coats."<BR/>Thanks for sharing this it was fun!

LOL <BR/><BR/><B>Raven</B> – I appreciate you checking out my first HoT post and your supportive feedback. I’m wondering if you posted your Dogster quiz results and will be by to ‘check’ later.<BR/><BR/><B>Roger</B> – Thanks so much ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Baba</B> – What a lovely comment! I loved the ‘baby photos’ you shared for HoT yesterday.<BR/><BR/><B>Andree</B> – Thanks! Actually, poetry comes ‘naturally’ to me … in fact when I first picked up a pencil to journal a few decades ago … everything came out in very rigid rhythm and rhyme patterns. It took effort and time to let go of ‘form’ and express my thoughts freely. <BR/><BR/><B>Sandy</B> – I’m surprised you’ve not encountered HoT before because I’ve seen posts with the logo for months now (much like I did with Haiku Friday before I discovered ‘A Mommy Story’ and later ‘Playgroups’ so I could join the fun. Yesterday was the first time I discovered the ‘source’ and decided to try my hand however. You’d be a ‘natural’ for sure!<BR/><BR/><B>Maggie</B> – Thanks so much for your visit and kind comment.<BR/><BR/><B>Melissa</B> – Heheh … that would have been funny indeed! So … are you going to share your results … surprising though they might be? Inquiring minds want to know ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Vien</B> – I love Panda Express but haven’t eaten there for quite some time myself. Maybe I’ll seek one out today while running errands later.<BR/><BR/><B>Joyce</B> – Border Collies are cool … and this result certainly does seem like a good ‘fit’ for you. I appreciate the ‘link-love’ when you shared them on your blog.<BR/><BR/><B>Alice</B> – Yes … it was fun to experimentally ‘play’ with this week’s prompt and methinks I’ll play again for sure. I’ve enjoyed meeting new bloggers and seeing what they’ve published too.<BR/><BR/><B>MamaZen</B> - Somehow that doesn't surprise me at all ... and even helps 'explain' why I'm drawn to you and your blog repeatedly. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>How fun to find all these comments this morning!</B> Thanks so much for your visit and encouraging words. If I’ve not been to your blog yet, I’ll get there later on … after I finish responding here and figure out what to post for Wednesday.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-80755771371422412032008-04-09T06:58:00.000-07:002008-04-09T06:58:00.000-07:00I'm a Lab!I'm a Lab!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-6503829480909527332008-04-08T22:37:00.000-07:002008-04-08T22:37:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed your poem.

A family picnic complete with hot dogs, deviled eggs and a refreshing swim in the lake is hard for you to stray from. Your sparky temperament and dogged intelligence mean you are not only a blast to hang out with, but great to work with as well. Your close pals appreciate your patience and forgiveness, knowing you'd rather let sleeping dogs lie than dwell on the mishaps of the past. Your dashing good looks may one day lead to a modelling career, if only you can tame the unfortunate clumsiness that sometimes causes you to go flailing from the catwalk.

I almost missed your second comment. A 'Golden' is very much like a 'Lab' in temperament, but they've got longer, curlier hair. My Molly sheds enough … I hate to have to deal with longer hair all over my house each day :--)<BR/><BR/><B>SecretAgentMama</B> – Thanks … I appreciate your visit and positive feedback since I don’t usually respond well to ‘prompts’ as a general rule. I am having fun visiting others to see what they’ve done with the topic.<BR/><BR/><B>Peppylady</B> – I sometimes have trouble with ‘prompts’ … in fact yesterday’s Fun Monday prompt left me totally without inspiration, but I enjoyed seeing what everyone else did with it. Thanks so much for visiting today and leaving your link so I could visit your blog. The Pony Express was an excellent ‘association’ … one I didn’t think of but wish I had ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Mike</B> – Thanks for sharing your ‘Dogster’ quiz results. Golden’s are wonderful pooches.<BR/><BR/><B>Misty Dawn</B> – I appreciate your visit and comments today … enjoyed my visit to your blog … and will look forward to returning. The Harry Potter books are fun reads and worth the time for young and old alike.

I must admit I haven't read any of the books, but many of my friends say I should, so I'm going to have to get my hands on copies of them.<BR/><BR/>Love your poetry. I write poetry too.<BR/><BR/>Considering we have three Border Collies, I wondered how this quiz would turn out. I'm a bulldog! So, I made my husband take the quiz - he's a bulldog too. We always get the same results on these quizzes - we're so boring hehehe<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm going to be starting a new Sunday meme.

This ‘meme’ seems like lots of fun and I enjoyed visiting your blog earlier today.<BR/><BR/><B>Skittles</B> – Yup … your’s is black right? Mine's a ‘yellow’ but she’s almost completely white in color except for the tips of her ears and tail. Aren’t they wonderful friends? I loved the Harry Potter series too … read the books multiple times while waiting for the next one to be published. I’ve not seen all of the movies, but someone recently gave me the set on DVR … so maybe I’ll get around to it sometime. I appreciate you adding me to the Blogroll and I look forward to participating in the future now that I know where to look.<BR/><BR/><B>Hootin’ Anni</B> – Ah yez … POLAR EXPRESS is one of my all time favorite holiday books!!! I’ve not seen the movie version but I’ve seen ‘clips’ that look intriguing and I love the movies Tom Hanks makes. Thanks for the ‘heads up’ about answering on my other blog.
