The Deja Vu Blogfest, and A Celebration of Mutts

DL Hammons of Cruising Altitude 2.0 is hosting the Deja Vu Blogfest on December 16th, and I think the fest sounds like a lot of fun. All you have to do is re-post your favorite blog post, or one that you think didn't get enough attention when it was originally posted. It's hard to beat a blogfest where you don't even have to write a new post! Since I have been an extremely lazy blogger lately, this is a great deal for me. :D

I was really glad to come upon DL's site (thanks to a link from my buddy LG Smith) as I have really enjoyed the 7 x 7 Link Awards that have been going around the blogosphere, and this blogfest reminded me of those awards. It's been great to be able to catch up on posts that were published before I started blogging, or just posts I may have missed due to getting behind on my blog reading. So I think a blogfest dedicated to showcasing old or favorite posts is a fantastic idea, and I'm really looking forward to participating.

To sign up, just visit DL's site here. I hope to see everyone on December 16th!

Also, I just learned that today is National Mutt Day, a day created to raise awareness about mixed-breed dogs who are waiting for their forever homes, and to celebrate the awesomeness of mutts. I couldn't let this day pass without honoring the greatest mutt in the world, my Clancy.

 

Hugs and pets to all the fabulous mutts out there, and Happy Friday to all. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I didn't know today was National Mutt Day. All the Rish babies are mutts, so it's nice to know there is a day to celebrate how special and unique they are. And your Clancy sure is a cutie.

    I'm with you, Julie. Any blogfest that means I can be lazy and put up an old post for a day is the blogfest for me. :)

    Clancy truly is one cute dog. Happy mutt day.

    You always find the best blogfests - thank God you do, because otherwise I never would! I'm in for this one - I'm so tired this month that I love the idea of recycling!
