The Unconditional Friendship Award

Misty Dawn of My Dogs Keep Me Sane and The Teach of Work of the Poet awarded me with The Unconditional Friendship Award. The award is awesome and the graphic is one of my favorites. Being a fellow dog lover makes puppies just the greatest pals one can have. Okay, I love cats too, but I'm so allergic. Anyway, this is quite an honor, but what really makes this even more special is what Misty Dawn said about this award. Awesome...

Maggie's photo is very appropriate for this award, because it is the Unconditional Friendship Award, and we all know that puppies and dogs provide unconditional friendship, loyalty, and love.

My friends here in the blogosphere have shown me support, encouragement, and love without the reservations, judgments, and restrictions which face-to-face relationships sometimes fall victim to. It doesn't matter what size I am, what color I am, if I'm physically attractive or not, or if I have a disability - you took the time to get to know me through my words, my thoughts, and, yes, my goofiness too. You have picked me up when I was ready to hit bottom, you have laughed with me, you have been my cheering squad, you have shared your own lives with me - and you've done all of this because you took the time to get to know me without any judgments. You have honored me with some of the most wonderful friendships I have ever encountered! For that, I thank you with all my heart!

Please accept this award as a token of my thanks (and so you can have that cute puppy hanging on your blog) - also PLEASE feel free to pass this award along to those friends who have shown you Unconditional Friendship, and, if you don't mind, please link it back to me. Thanks!

I would like to pass this award along to some people outside of the blogosphere who have definitely showed me unconditional friendship - Beck (the best friend a girl could ever wish for - I've been honored ever since 4th grade), ALL my friends at Full Bookshelves (you are like family to me), and Moo (we've been through a lot together and our friendship has lit the way).
Thank you so much Misty Dawn and The Teach. Here are all the awardees:

Thank you for posting this Sandee - I'm so glad you like it!

Mary (The Teach) - Please do not be concerned about giving people double-awards - this if for you to hand out to your unconditional friends. It just means that Sandee is a special friend to many

Misty Dawn - Exactly. I love getting an award more than once.

Sandee...that's a great idea for re-awarding. I can't think of a better way to share some of Misty's love. I'll be sure to do the same!
