Our BlogPaws Story!

It's already Tuesday! We wish Teri had been energetic enough to write about our BlogPaws experience on Sunday when we got back home...but it was such a nice day outside that she worked out in the yard!

So we'll try to remember the highlights of our 3 days of Peace & Music (No... that was Woodstock! We weren't there, hahameow!).

We got to go to school (aka sessions) and learn about Leveraging Niche Blogging (Cats like hiding in niches, don't they?!) and Reach, Relevance, Design & Presentation (we can reach, with claws sometimes) and about Social Media (Tweeting and Purring at the same time, hahameow!).

And we listened to 2 guys called Big Ant and Joe P, from Rescue Ink...they looked like they knew how to help animals cuz they were big and strong!

Fortunately, we got to relax back in our hotel room while Teri went and watched a Dog Movie (Yawwwwn) and then went out to dinner with our friends, CHo Meir of Coffee, Cats n' Yarn and Sue and David of The Furry Bambinos. So, we didn't get to meet Flat Panda!

We listened to the Covered in Cat Hair lady, Robin, talking about traffic (we are indoor kitties so we didn't know anything about rush hour, hahameow!) and then we learned from the Petfinder and Embrace Pet Insurance ladies, Jane and Laura, how to ask people if we could be guests (guest bloggers, that is...we wouldn't want to wear out our welcome!).

And Deesko (Disco's stand in) got to meet BlogPaws co-founder, Tom Collins, and the famous Dr V of Pawcurious! And he got to hang out in the bar, too!

And Teri and her friends must have had a few Niptinis, cuz they got silly and took some Hurricane Irene photos...take a look!

Teri said she didn't take many notes, and we all know how furgetful old humans can be, but she said she came home remembering some of what she learned and with great memories of making new friends and spending time with those we had met before! That feeling of camaraderie and a shared goal of Being the Change has us... Reelin' from the Feelin', MeWowZa!!

As you can see from the photos, part of the fun is being silly, full of Pet Love of any species--dog, cat, ferret, G Piigs! We collected scads of business cards and had lots of photos taken of our cute selves, and Teri said it will take a while to write back to everyone we met!

So over the next few weeks, look on our blog for more BlogPaws news and photos we find as we visit everyone we met! Oh...our purrsonalized swag bags were prized by both cat and dog and ferret and guinea pig, as the thank you notes we have received tell us!

The next BlogPaws will be held in Salt Lake City in June 2012 and we plan on going, making it an annual part of our vacation. Of course, since Teri will have to fly to this one, she will only take one of us as she doesn' want anyone to have to fly in cargo...We will all be vying for the job...and may the best cat win, hahameow!

And for our furriends that are on Facebook, too...Disco asked Teri to remind you to visit us there and 'Like' us there, too...
