¤ Versatile Blogger Award ¤
The concept behind the Versatile Blogger Award is to follow a couple of rules and then pass it on to whatever blog you think deserves it. The rules are:
1. Make a post and link it back to the person who gave you the award (and include their website address)
2. Share 7 random things / facts about yourself
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers with this award and contact them to let them know they have won (We narrowed to 10 choices)
Sharing is part of Giving. So, it’s time to fill the audiences in on some little known facts about us.
I. Lele was initially named Bailey by me on the first day we got her. As my MIL has difficultly with English pronunciation of her name, she called her Le Le (乐乐 – the pronunciation spelling in English will be Ler Ler) in Chinese meaning Happy. After a week of discussion, we decide to drop Bailey and use Le Le as her main name.
II. Lele dislikes the home gas delivery man the most. Or rather she hate the blue metal cling clang thingy that the delivery man carries. 
She will get into her timid and woofy mode and seek refuge with me if i’m around or in her safe den, her crate.
III. Lele is afraid of 2 most unexpected things. One of it is plastic clothes pegs and the other is my hair bands. If she sees one with me, she will try to grab it with all her attacking tactics and ran off hiding with it. If she fails to retrieve it, she will ran under the chair or bed beyond my reach. 
“Why are these 2 things in front of me?”
IV. Lele currently has a total number of 52 toys which include 8 tennis balls, 7 winnie the poohs plush toys, 3 kong squiggles, 4 frisbees and multiple squeaky and tugging toys, etc….. That’s why pappi is complaining she has too many, oops…
V. Personally, I felt Lele has a unique vocal when it comes to woofing, because most of the time it sounds like coughing when she does it. We used to be worried she has vocal defects when we got her initially because she is behaving too quiet for a beagle. Imagine no barking for like the first month. She excels better with howling!!! hehe. ^o^
VI. I have just started reading Control Unleashed by Leslie McDevitt. Hope it can help me understand lele more and have a better bonding relationship, of course a more focused and confident dog. One of the best quote from the book when Ms. Leslie went for a banquet for the local West Highland White Terrier Club. This is her speech: “I know that most or all of you have been told by your instructors that to train your performance dog you must be the center of his universe, the most interesting thing in his life. I understand, however, that you are not always able to be the most interesting thing in the world. I understand that sometimes your Westie might think a running rodent is more interesting than you. And that’s okay. You can train your dog anyway.” Highly Recommended Book to read up!!!
VII. Mummi is a Anti-Cesar Millan Fan. (Will be writing a post on it, stay tune!)
¤ Inspirational Award ¤
As in receiving the Inspirational Award, the rules are less complex.
1. Say thank you to the person who gave you this award and link back to them.
2. Link to 10 blogs you find inspirational and post.
3. Don’t forget to forward the award to those 10 blogs.
Therefore with much discussion with Lele, she revealed the nominees from her puzzle toy. We have both concurred with the 10 choices for both Versatile and Inspirational Award. Every blog has their niche topics as well as their intrigueing stories. I’ve learned and also enjoyed reading the blogs getting new ideas. Although some are thousands of miles away, the blogging world has brought every one of us closer sharing the common topic, the love for our furkids.
And the awards goes to…….. (drum roll!!!)
II. It’s a Dog Life by Kess, The Malaysian Beagle
III. Herbiesphere and Helios Too
IV. Beans4Biscuits
V. Zeus the Zuchon and Boss the Bunny
VII. Jägervision in Dutch Estonian
(English Translation Using Google Here)
VIII. Happy.Bark.Days
IX. Daily Bailey
And of course not forgetting…
Congratulations on receiving both the Versatile Blogger Award and Inspiration Award! I couldn’t agree more that Le Paws Voyage fits those two award descriptions to a T
I really enjoyed reading the little bits of information about Lele. I had no idea she was previously known as Bailey! I think Lele suits her—it was meant to be 
Thank you for passing the awards on to us at Happy.Bark.Days—it’s so thoughtful of you to include us in the line-up! Lil’ Miss Maple sends her ‘woofs’ and regards to you and Lele. Have a great weekend
Thank you SJ, I have enjoyed every post you wrote and learned a lot from your blog. It’s great knowing you. i’m still looking forward to have lele meet up with Maple.
A huge Congrats on receiving the award!! Way to go!! LeLe is so super cute – not surprised she’s got so many toys!
Thanks for passing the award on to me, I’m totally honoured,
Hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy
You are most welcome Snoopy. Mummi say your name is also her favourite cartoon character and you look so much charming than that snoopy who only lay flat on top of his hut most of the time. hehe…. Cheers!
Thank you very much for this award! I am very new to blogland and it is nice to know that there are people reading your blog.
To make a correction then my blog is really in estonian (I live in Estonia) but I also have a blog in english if you are interested in reading-
http://enjoyyourdog.wordpress.com/
You are most welcome too. Apologies as I mistaken the language. The google thingy mentioned Dutch or probably I see wrongly. And thank you for your the other blog, you have show me what I’ve missed out all this time. it’s the best informative training blog I seen. I may have said multiple times, but I cannot get enough of your dog enthusiastic when engage play with you. So looking forward to more of your posts.
Congrats to you on receiving the awards.
And we wanna thank you too, for passing on the award to us. We feel very honoured. Thank you.
Regards,
Rossi gal & Mummy
You are most welcome Rossi gal and your mummy. When I have lele, I never knew dog can eat raw and I was rather ignorance. Thank you for your informative blog and allowed me to understand more to raw feeding.
oh thank you so much for the award!
we are late again
sorry to hear about your recent stressful situation at the dog run
hope everything will work out just fine with you and Lele soon
Thanks Sapphire. Ya, it’s a unnecessary posting from the man. No one knows the man left the dog run in such a mood. He should come forward and tell us and solve the issue like mature adults.
Anyway, things are back to normal. Lele and I still visit to dog runs on weekdays. Cheers!
Thank you for the award. We just saw your post (shows how long we have not been blogging :p) We’ll do the meme soon
Oh yes, are you at Bishan park every Sat morning? We don’t go there very often actually
Hi, no worries. You are most welcome. I’ve also lapse quite a while updating my blog. I used to go Bishan park every Saturday morning but have since stopped already.
Hopefully we may come across at the national dog walk. 
Yes Lele. We will probably be there. Just posted the meme
That’s cool. Have fun at the events.
