"The only way to have a friend is to be one"

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hi everybody. Today's message has to do with friends, and how  important it is to listen to them.They often have ideas and wisdom that will enlighten you.  This may sound strange coming from such a egocentric pug as myself.  But you see, even though I love myself above all others, that doesn't mean I don't value the attributes of my friends.

Take my Sunflower Sistas Izzy and Josie..

A couple of weeks ago, when we were just geting started with the Sunflower Club, they came up with a great idea. They suggested that periodically all of us could honor one of our Sisters by devoting a special blog to them. What a great idea, I signed off on it right away. I'd like to kick off  this tradition today. Now, this is totally a project in development, so suggestions and tweaks are welcome and encouraged.

The original idea was to do a drawing to choose the featured friend. I dig that idea, but this time I am going to make an executive decision and declare the first Sunflower Spotlight shine on Izzy and Josie over at Those Elgin Pugs.

I think they deserve a little attention for being pretty good sisters to poor Anakin during his convalescence. I hope that's OK with you Izzy, to share the spotlight with Josie. I just couldn't choose one of you.

We were thinking about making a specific day to post the tribute, ex: Famous Friday or Sunflower Sister Sunday. This first time, I'd like to devote all of next week to post whatever day  you get a chance. Please let me know how you all feel about keeping it to one day vs. over the course of a week.

Another thing I'll throw out there are nominations in addition to or instead of the drawing to choose the special sunflower sister. In other words, if you think one of our sisters could use a little boost, nominate her, and we can show her some love and support.

This is in no way a mandatory assignment, but please participate if you are so inspired.
