Many of you have asked where I was on my long holiday break.
4 weeks is sure a long time to be away … especially in the Blogland.
Did I go somewhere where it was warm?
Unfortunately, it was cold and it snowed for many days.
Did I had FUN? Absolutely! Lots of Golden FUN.
I’ve been going to this place since I was a year old
so I am very familiar with the area and activities.
I was given lots of Golden TLC. I especially enjoyed all the tasty treats particularly the chicken and the antlers chews … it was Golden Delish Delight. Without a doubt I was provided with Lots of Golden Deluxe Loving Care. Lots of Golden Thanks especially to Camp Sue.
It is always good to set intentions rather than resolutions.
Unlike resolutions wherein you already setting a firm decision on what to do or not to do, intentions is setting aims, plans and/or goals.

I am very grateful of my blog and be able to share my Golden life.
2011 is the year I’ll be 10 and my 3rd blogversary.

3) I’ll continue to provide viewpoints on certain subjects/topics and strive to incorporate it to my life and adventures as Sugar the Golden Retriever.
4) I plan to continue to do Dog Book Reviews and aim to do some (dog related) product reviews. Giveaways is always a great supplement for any reviews. (Make sure to check out my Saturday 1/15 post for a giveaway).
5) I love inspirational Sayings/Quotes/Poems and plan to portray these through my photographs.
6) Of course, I will keep on sharing Tasty Dog Treat Recipes. Lots of Golden Thanks to everyone who send me emails of great appreciation for the Dog Treat Recipes.
7) There are a lot of interesting events/topics I’d like to share and discuss. I also intend to posts more this year. However, time and the blog spammers/scrappers are my biggest fret. I do get numerous emails of comments/requests. I’m very appreciative with all the flattering compliments and will plan to be very selective on requests I receive on a daily basis. It is very important for me to keep the set-up and standards I placed for my blog.

We are so glad you had a good time on your break, Sugar. Antler chews? Sound yummy – Mom bought us a couple of elk antlers to chew on, but we only get to have them for a little while because they aren't very big and she worries about us choking on them.
Great blog intentions – you know we love everything about your posts.

I love your blog Sugar. I am very interested in Spammers/Scrappers….I don't understand any of that….any information would be appreciated.
I think you are wise to make of list of New Year's intentions rather than resolutions b/c it is not easy to stay true to resolutions. I do understand why you are upset about the spammers and I wonder how I can protect our blog because we've had some weird emails come to us and don't know how they found us!
Your blog is wonderful and I had no idea you have been at it for 2 years! Good job!
Yay! Your back! I love your snow pics, you look so happy! So completely GOLDEN!!

Hmm, I do see you're protecting your content like a good guard dog. Sorry if you had bad experiences with scamers and thieves.
Have a nice weekend!
Oh, one more thing… To get rid of spammers, you could moderate comments before they are posted.
Take care!
