Not a ruff life!

On Sunday, Uggie the dog took center stage when The Artist won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical). But don't think this pup is taking time off to bask in his awards-show glory; he's back to work just in time for Valentine's Day.

In an American Greetings eCard, 9-year-old Uggie shows off his skills on a skateboard. "Awwwwwww, Awwwwwwwsome! That's you," the card reads as the pup skates down the sidewalk. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Before starring opposite Jean Dujardin, the Jack Russell terrier had roles in Water for Elephants and Mr. Fix It. He won the Palm Dog (as opposed to the Palm d'Or which went to Tree of Life) at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for best canine performance.

There's even a Facebook campaign, Consider Uggie, gathering support to get this top dog nominated for an Oscar.
