Okay, I’m going to admit that since returning from the BlogPaws conference in beautiful Lake Las Vegas, Nevada, I’m finding it hard to get motivated. I’m wishing the Dog Dad and I could’ve taken another week to just enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax by the pool. But alas, it was not to be and now that I’m back home in Indianapolis, it’s time to get back to work… whether I want to or not.
But first I want to tell you about some of the wonderful bloggers (people and dogs!) I got to meet while I was at the conference. See that photo above? That’s me with the amazing Sugar The Golden Retriever – are you following her blog? I highly recommend it and I promise, you won’t be disappointed.
A few others I want you to check out are:
- Dolly The Doxie
- Cascadian Nomads
- Chronicles of Cardigan
- Cat In The Fridge
- You Did What With Your Weiner
- Kol’s Notes
- Roxy The Traveling Dog
- Bark and Swagger
- My Kid Has Paws
I met these and so many other wonderful people and pets at BlogPaws this year, and as always I was reminded of what a special community we are. I’ve been blogging for over 11 years, but I never found my passion until I became a pet blogger, and I never felt connected to other bloggers until we bonded over our love for animals. All of you, along with these animals we work so hard to save, truly are one of the biggest blessings of my life.
And it doesn’t hurt that I get to stay in a beautiful place like this when we meet up every year for the conference:
Will I see you there?

Hope you had a great time!!!

May 14, 2014 at 6:49 pmThanks for the shout out! It was so nice to see you there, and yes, we too are having trouble getting back into it! I had the same thought, though – it’s so nice to be able to spend time with such lovely people as we find in rescue. See you next year, if not before!
