Do Dogs Attend BlogPaws?

One of the many questions asked (by newbies like me) about BlogPaws is do pets come to the weekend long conference and are they able to participate with their owners?  Well even though I did not bring Luna or Penny to the event – although I wish I had - I already knew the answer. The answer is YES! Pets were everywhere and they even took over the parking lot and performed tricks for us like Tillman, the World's most famous dog, and Norman, the scooter dog. Tillman and Norman started the memorable weekend off with a demonstration of their special talents which included; skateboarding, scooter riding, and balloon popping.

All types of animals were allowed everywhere in the hotel except for the public food outlets – Starbucks, the bar and restaurant.  However, they were welcome in ALL the BlogPaws conference rooms, including the meal rooms and the ball rooms!  Here is Sally from It's A Weinerful Life, and Chester and Gretel from You Did What With Your Weiner.

I would like to thank the lovely photographer Becka for allowing me to use these photos.  My camera did not fit into my carry-on bag, and my cell phone wasn’t cutting it, so thank you again Becka for the great photos!  More photos of BlogPaws can be seen at Becka’s Facbook page.

See You At Blog Paws

Blog Paws is finally here and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be going this year.  The key for me not being able to go in the past has always been location and timing of the event (and myself) so with me not working and living just one state away I absolutely had to go.  Plus, I bought my ticket last year right after the event so I practically paid nothing for the ticket.  I am looking forward to being able to personally connect with other pet bloggers, to meet the faces of some of my favorite blogs, and hope to further my knowledge about the details that it takes to be a better blogger.  Wish me luck!

31 Days to Building a Better Blog- The Elevator Pitch

31 Days to Building a Better Blog- The Elevator Pitch

 The Assignment- Is to spend the next 31 days working on tasks that will help improve my blog. This is a month long challenge put together by Darren Rowse on his Blog Problogger, and provided by the Blog Paws Community.

Task #1- Write an Elevator Pitch for Your Blog

How’s it going so far? Not very well as I can’t quite seem to keep my eyes off of the TV at the moment.

So…back to my homework assignment. The elevator pitch; how would I describe my blog in 200 words or less while making it sound attractive to the listener? Well that would be my usual ‘I am a thirty-something year old chick who spends too much time blogging about my dogs’. Does this classify as an elevator pitch? I don’t think so. Does this line let others know what my blog is about? Maybe, maybe not… it sounds pretty vague if you ask me, and more like a tagline instead of a well-defined description of what my blog is about.

So for my first homework assignment I would expect to receive maybe a C+; a C for at least getting the blog post finished, and the + for thinking about it for more than fifteen minutes. It is in fact past 9:30 pm and almost my bedtime!

What I do know is that Luna and Penny are our first family dogs and this blog is all about sharing our dog adventures with family and friends.
