I’m having so much fun reading everyone’s BlogPaws posts! We returned home on Saturday instead of Sunday as planned but we packed a lot into our stay. I’m already looking forward to next year’s conference!

Darnit-all, I don’t need to lose anything virginal at my age! I suppose if I go next year, I’m promiscuous? 😉

P.S. You summed all my thoughts up really well – now I don’t have to write them; I can just point people to your blog.

I am glad that you both enjoyed and had a great impression of BlogPaws. My dog, Schatzi, stayed home last year but since I was within a short driving distance and she is used to being a PR dog, I brought her along to BlogPaws. The ferrets and cats kept her entertained during a few of the sessions. One man played continuously with her during dinner. She posed for many pictures with hotel guests and even the hotel employees.
From Schatzi’s point of view, she loved Spooky Buddies! She tried to help the puppies, as did the other dogs in the audience who barked their support only at the most exciting scene…our pups are so smart, no matter what their age. Schatzi also sends her thank yous to those that chose to massage her during the sessions 🙂

I already have it on my calendar for next year! So glad to hear that you and Honey had a great time 🙂

See, I knew with my luck next year would be out West. Well, I leave it up to you and Kristine to agitate for BlogPaws Montreal. It’s certainly a convention-friendly city, but everyone needs a passport to cross borders these days. 🙁

And it sounds like you had a blast. Ferrets! Who’da thunk?

Even if there’s no convention, I’ll be happy to host visitors from time to time… or meet people in VT, NY, or other convenient locations. 🙂

I’m surprised there weren’t more pets there, although I’m mainly thinking dogs. It never occurred to me that people would take anything else. I guess I assumed it wouldn’t really be a cat friendly type of event, or that cats wouldn’t like it. Wrong again:) And ferrets too, oh cute!

I think they should make it really international and have one in New Zealand!! Hmm, but we don’t have a lot of pet bloggers here:(

I’m so pleased you had a great time, managed to put faces to names (and get a photo of Pup Fan!) and got home safely:)

I’m having a good time reading peoples’ post-BlogPaws posts! I couldn’t make it this year, and Utah is almost certainly out of reach, but it sounds like so much fun! I, too, make the mistake of thinking that most blogs are dog blogs, but it obviously isn’t true. Cute ferrets, and nice to see they’re responsibly leashed.

Maybe 2013? 😉

I was a newbie too, and darn if Irene didn’t mess things up! Christina and I decided to cut our losses and leave early on Friday afternoon to avoid the hurricane. We might have been fine if we had stayed, but better safe than sorry. We did cram a lot into the time we were there though, and it was a blast! It was good to see you and Honey in person/dogson, even though it was brief. I think that’s one of the coolest things about an event like BlogPaws, putting faces to the blogs. So cool!!

Sweet Jiminey Crickets! I could actually attend the next one! It’s when I’m off school and everything… *begins to scheme and pray for no snow days*

In reply to Vicky. Ooh, I'd much rather see you sell a car than a kidney. Maybe a good post idea would be 10 ways to raise money for BlogPaws. :)
