My Fire Hydrant

Less than 48 hours and already Tyler is settling into his new home. I did some catch-up yesterday at my desk, and even though the bed says “Bailey” Tyler had no problem using it!

Tyler relaxes under my desk.

Tyler on duty, ready to answer all your dog-related questions.

Bailey still holds her spot in my heart. But Tyler is making his own space there, too.

I think I’m going to have to break down and buy a new video camera. My Flip cam is just not as friendly as I want it to be, and the quality is not as good as what I can do with my cheap digital camera.

Here’s Tyler’s first Bichon blitz in his new home!

First let me say, Lynn Haigh is charming. Whether she’s bemoaning the fact that she got to Columbus long before her luggage, or telling a room full of people to Be The Change (more about that soon), she is a wonderfully charming woman. With an accent that adds music to her speech (at least to my jaded Yankee ears). And did I mention she’s also rather witty?

I know. I’m gushing. Can’t help it. I get star-struck, and Lynn is most definitely a star of  pet-oriented social media. Frankly, she’s brilliant. And did I mention charming?

I really enjoyed putting this video together–in spite of the problems I had with Windows Movie Maker–because I enjoyed listening to Lynn talk. If you’re interested in the (brief) history of the pawpawty, and how Twitter can be an incredible fundraising tool, you will enjoy it too. And maybe learn something!

I caught up with my old buddy, Nicole Daute, and made a new friend, Christina Kwan, this past weekend at BlogPaws 2010. Both are with DogTime Media, and very smart cookies when it comes to blogs and blogging. Here is my interview with them. Enjoy!

Thanks so much to Nicole and Christina for gifting me with their time!

While at BlogPaws this past weekend, I pulled out my video camera and put several people on the spot when I interviewed them. Here is the first of (hopefully) 4 video interviews.

Dorian Wagner (a wonderful anipal) of Your Daily Cute talks about her pets, her online work, and the importance of pet bloggers. 

A big THANK YOU to Dorian for being such a good sport!

Recently, a Small Paws member created this video as a “Welcome” to the Small Paws site. This is Winston, and he’s adorable!
