Yes, June is "Conference Month" over at BlogPaws! You might want to check out the really cool video they have available where you can learn about all the upcoming conference has to offer.

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...

I have absolutely NO idea why Parental Unit's slipper is just lying around on my favorite resting spot...do you?

Maybe if we visit the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop, someone there will know what's up with that slipper...

Did you know that glorious April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month? The good folks at BlogPaws are calling our attention to it today—and for good reason: we're all out and about more as the days get warmer and longer, which gives us all more time to get involved in accidents or tussles. So it's always smart to carry a human and pet first aid kit with you, even for just a short hop to the dog park.

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...

                          I've been waiting for spring...

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop!

Yes, it's "Spoil Your Pet" Month over at BlogPaws, and that month-long theme for February, the month of love, couldn't be more apropos.  So what are you doing to spoil your pet (just a little bit!) this month? We'd love to hear all about it!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch... Parental Unit claims she spoils me every day of every month with great food and daily walks.  I say, more of both!

                                Hey, let's go play fetch!

While I'm waiting for Parental Unit to get us to the dog park, I'm gonna check out the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop and see how all my canine and feline friends are being spoiled.

Happy Thanksgiving!

  We're patiently waiting for Parental Unit to finish cooking dinner!

In the meantime, we'd like to wish all of our blogging buddies in the good ole' U.S. the happiest  of Thanksgivings. Rest assured that we are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Your friendship is our blessing today, and every day throughout the year.

Today's "theme" over at BlogPaws is "Peeking Into October"... our favorite month of the year! What will you do to step into the gorgeous month of October?

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...I've been playing mostly indoors because it's been warm and rainy. Parental Unit says her new T-Shirt from The Mountain is not one of my toys!

Why not spend a few minutes visiting friends at the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop and see how the blogging crowd is ringing in October?

The good folks at BlogPaws are still helping us celebrate International Pet Blogger's Month, but this week's particularly humorous "theme" is "Got Cart?" Don't miss the cutie pie pooch in her very own cart!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch, here's my one and only ride in a cart, while helping Parental Unit shop at PetSmart. Luckily, she didn't wheel me around—I prefer my feet planted on terra firma, if you don't mind!

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to visit with some new blogging buddies!

Today's theme over at BlogPaws is "Something in the Garden" Hmmm. You really should check it out!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch... I love hangin' out in our backyard...although we really can't call it a "garden" at the moment.

So we're off to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to say hello to our buddies!

Today's "theme" over at BlogPaws is clearly in keeping with Adopt-A Cat Month: "What's New, Pussycat?" helps us continue the celebration of all things feline throughout June. Please don't miss the photo of this gorgeous kitty!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch, I'm not so sure I want to celebrate all things feline...do you?

It's much more fun to visit our blogging friends during the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop!

The photo theme at the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Hop today is "Peek-A-Boo"...and you shouldn't miss this adorable puppy face!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch, we're nearly drowning in torrential rains, but thankfully, no flooding yet. In our house, it's Ms. Bella who loves to play "hide and seek" and peek-a-boo to amuse her feline self.

Do you wonder how she got in there without disrupting a single pillow?

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to see who else is playing this silly game!

Today's Wordless Wednesday "theme" over at BlogPaws showcases some dogs who look quite, ahem, "studious" or "bookworm-ish" while blogging...

Today's Wordless Wednesday theme over at BlogPaws is "Pets Gone Wild"! Maybe because all animals go a little "wild" come spring, or because "Wild Calling! Pet Foods is sponsoring this month's BlogPaws photo contest.  Who knows? Check it out—there are prizes to win!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...the weather has finally turned March-like: warm-ish, rainy, muddy and windy. But it's better than the 15 degrees below zero we hosted just last week. What's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Are we ready for a road trip, Parental Unit? That's sure to get me feelin' a little wild!

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to meet some new blogging buddies...

Pet Bloggers On Social Media: By The Numbers

This nifty infographic was created by the fun folks at BlogPaws based on a survey of its community. Yes, we did participate! If you're a pet blogger, let us know if your social media use fits with these statistics..or whether you've gone rogue. We'd love to know!

Purina Helps Us Donate To Our Local Dog Shelter!

We've had the good fortune to work with Purina on several occasions and were honored to help spread the good word about bonding with your dog—whether through engaging your dog's natural instincts with a rousing game of fetch, or simply taking long walks with your favorite canine by your side. As part of our work with Purina, we received coupons for 10 free bags of Purina One SmartBlend or Beyond formula dry dog food, and decided to donate that much-needed food to our local shelter.

Parental Unit finally used the coupons to purchase the food and took the drive to the Franklin County Dog Shelter to deliver it just before the new year. We're happy to say that the shelter was bustling with potential adopters: the staff barely had time to pose for a picture!

                    But this lovely volunteer helped us out! 

A hearty thank you to our friends at Purina for your generous gift of the coupons—those 10 coupons totalled about 120 pounds of  dog food that will go directly to feed shelter dogs in much need of high quality, nutritious food. Kudos to Purina for giving us this opportunity!

Today's "theme" over at the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop is "Pets Love People", and don't we though? I speak for both me and Bella when I say that we're missin' our Parental Unit, who's in Seattle, taking care of her sister. Sis (who has a dog named Mugsy you might remember from previous posts), had hip replacement surgery, and Parental Unit is her caregiver for the week. She really knows how to take a vacation, doesn't she! Although we're in good hands here at home, we do miss our main PU...

       Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to get in a bit of shut-eye...

Are ya ready to join the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop? And don't forget the good folks at BlogPaws are also hosting a fun photo contest during the month of December to celebrate "Giving Month", so check out both!

Pet Bloggers And The Holidays: How We Will Spend!

As a proud member of the BlogPaws Pet Blogger Influencer Group, Parental Unit and I recently participated in a survey about pet bloggers and their pets, focusing on holiday shopping for their four-legged family members.

Here's the really cool info graphic the BlogPaws team compiled to highlight the survey results. Where do you stack up? Are you buying (and maybe even wrapping) presents for your pup, kitty or even gerbil? Let us know!
