The award does come with a few rules:
1. Visit and thank the blogger who nominated you.
2. Acknowledge that blogger on your blog and link back.
3. Share 7 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate up to 15 bloggers for the Shine On award, provide a link to their blog in your post, and notify them on their blog!
Our Random Facts
1. Mom Emily: I am a vegetarian and have been my entire life. I have never eaten meat before, at least not on purpose. I have no qualms with those who do eat meat – for me it is just a habit, the way I was raised.
2. Mom Emily: I hate going barefoot. So much so that I wear shoes even around my house, and I have to have a pair of slippers or flip flops beside my bed and by the shower for me to step into as soon as I get out. I know, it’s weird.
3. Delilah: I like to sleep on Mom’s head at night. I end up taking over the entire pillow.
4. Sampson: I like to suckle on Mom and Dad’s necks. I’ll take any bare skin really, but I prefer the neck.
5. Sophie: I like to give Daddy chin bites! It’s the stubble on his face at the end of the day – I just like to bite it!
6. Sassy: I am a big drooler. Whenever Mom and Dad are giving me lots of lovin’, I poof my tail and drool all over them.
7. Caster: I like to eat Dad’s record collection. He has a pile of records that he leaves out in the living room, and there is just something about them – I like to roll around on them and eat the covers.

We voted today for your video and will be doing so every single day ’cause we love you and that is an excellent video. Paws crossed that you win. It was so fun learning things about you that we didn’t know. We had no idea that Delilah is a “head” cat like Misty May. Thank you so much for the award. We appreciate it so super much. Astrid is sending oodles of kitty kisses to Sampson. She is absolutely head over heels in love with him. He is so purrfect for her. Love to you all.
