I saw a flight sale a few weeks ago on travelocity, but it wouldn’t let me book it on my phone! *sigh* Ticket prices keep climbing and now I’m not sure I’ll get to come. Booooo on that eh? I’m still holding on to hope for a last minute flight deal. A girl can dream right?

PS – I can’t imagine feeling anything but delightful to find you on my doorstep ;0)

Oh wow!! Congrats on presenting at BlogPaws this year. I wish I could make it, but it doesn’t look good for me. P.S. – I’m an introvert, but I still had a blast at BlogPaws!!! Have fun!

In reply to Pamela. You're not the only person who's told me that. Have you tried logging out and back into your Gravatar account? If that doesn't work, shoot me an email and I'll ask others how they resolved the problem.

In reply to Pamela. Pamela, please consider it an open invitation. :-) I would love nothing more than to sit with you and chat. I'm still learning the ins and outs of blogging (much of it from you) and my goal is to learn to hustle too. I have the cojones when I need them, but my bigger problem is 1) not knowing WHAT to do and 2) finding the time.

Oh geez!!! I wish that I could go to Utah this year . . I was planning on it, but then we decided to put new windows in the house, update the kitchen. . . .I will definitely plan on the streamed event! I don’t know what personality type I have. I am terrible in social situations like “networking events” but I LOVE teaching yoga and I feel the same way you do- totally energized by the people in my classes. I was a dog walker for several years and really missed the human contact (although I enjoyed my furry friends ALOT!)

I took Myers-Briggs many years ago, so long ago that I can’t even remember what my results were! I hope you have a great time in Utah – wish I could join you!! (oh, and I’m jealous that you met Elizabeth and the Corgis too!)

In reply to Jen. Glad I am not the only one who makes things harder for themselves!

In reply to Leslie. LOL! I work in the tech department Leslie. An extrovert in an introverted world!

I had all these comments in my head as I was reading your post Pamela.
– I didn’t know Pamela was an extrovert too! (I also get my energy from being around people. Something I struggled with as a pet sitter because all I interacted with was pets!)
– What a cute story of Honey and the cat! I love that the cat walks with you for a few blocks. That is so sweet.
– You met Elizabeth and Dewi and Jon Farleigh??? I had no idea! I SO want to meet them!
– I also feel a sense of loss when I can’t interact with everyone (I feel guilty too.)
– I think you are going to knock them dead in Utah! I wish you the very best my friend. I hope people enjoy it. Good luck!

In reply to Pamela.

Let’s see… AJ from PupLove is 5 1/2 hours away from me… Kristine from Rescued Insanity is about 12… and Jen from Back Alley Soapbox is… wait a tic… oh yeah, a six-day drive.

Don’t think that live stream party is going to happen. I actually live closer to you than most of them!

I thought I heard a rumour you were presenting this year. I think that’s fantastic! And I knew you’d have the perfect topic as well.

The community of pet bloggers is a big part of why I am still doing this too. I’ve always enjoyed the act of writing but am terrible at the discipline side of things. Being an introvert, I don’t often seek out social interaction. It’s too hard and too exhausting. But through blogging I can communitcate and get to know with others on my own terms. When I have the energy and when I feel comfortable. After all, just because too much socializing often wears me down, it doesn’t mean I don’t need to connect with others. I feel so lucky now to call so many kind-hearted people my friends, even if I never meet them in person.

I am sure Riley’s humans would be happy to have you work with him! Free training doesn’t come around all that often!
