Since I’m still trying to regain my footing, after our recent medical emergencies, I thought perhaps lighter blog fare made more sense for a Monday morning.

It looks like I’ll be attending another BlogPaws this year, without any travel expense worries, since they’ve decided to hold another conference in the fall here in Denver.

I would love, love, love it if some of my local and other Western state pals could attend too.

I wanted to let everyone know that plans for my Be the Change idea are underway, and I’ve taken your concerns and questions to heart in how the coalition structures educational and giveaway ideas. If all goes well, we may be ready to roll out officially in the next 4-6 weeks. Since that’s a bit down the road, though, I wanted to write about my sense of these issues.

My BlogPaws box of schwag that I had my client from K9Cuisine.com ship to me arrived late last week. (That’s where my Dog Food Dish blog lives.) It’s kind of fun having a few new things.

Have you ever taken the PERFECT photo of your dog, only to have it essentially ruined by the dreaded flash-eye thing? If you’re anything like me, you’ve tried that red-eye fix that comes with picture editing software. And, like me, you’ve found out that it does NOT work on pets’ eyes. Well, it seems Kodak found a way to deal with it better.

BlogPaws organizers and participants, as a whole, have declared this Be the Change blog post day. It’s an exciting venture not just for today but going forward, where we ask as a pet blogging community just what each of us can do to improve the lives of our animal friends. I have a BIG idea brewing and will need your help in the coming weeks/months, but let’s focus on today.

To call today a catch-up day after my BlogPaws adventure would fall somewhere between overly optimistic and liar-liar-pants-on-fire territory. In fact, if Tom asks me one more time if I’m caught up, I may just punch him in the nose. Let’s see … I’ve been at my desk 9 hours. I was gone 72. I’m sleep deprived. I’m awash in ideas and new pet blogger pals. And, I’m still in my PJs. So, um, no … I’m nowhere near caught up. So, please … stop … asking.

The bathrobes here at the Westin in Columbus are very nice. Sadly, I know this because I didn’t get much sleep my first night at the BlogPaws (pet blogger conference). I tried. Goodness knows I tried, but a couple of things conspired against me.

Well, kids … by the time you read this, I’ll be winging my way cross country on my big adventure to BlogPaws. I’ll likely Tweet parts of the event. I may gripe on Facebook to my friends there, should travel snags arise. And, if I have time, I may even blog with updates. If not, you’ll have to wait for my return to our usual blogging schedule next week.
