BlogPaws Was Great
BlogPaws was so great! Now the real work begins.
Here's a stack of cards of people I need to contact!
There's so much for me to tell you about, great people that I met & great products to review. I want to extend a special thank you to my sponsor, Iams. Besides providing Oskar & the cats with their great food, they made it possible for me to attend the conference.
You'll hear much more about my trip in the coming days & weeks!

Big Stinky Dog ~ Featured Blogger
Today's Featured Blogger is Mason from Big Stinky Dog.
My bloggy is about ME! Mason! A golden retriever-collie mix that lives in the good ol' cheese state of Wisconsin! My full time job is being sneaky, a suck up, and maybe a teeny bit naughty! I am much loved by all who meet me (even my aunty who is a CAT! person).
I live with a cranky CAT! who doesn't like to play, but I am much persistent in trying to get that CAT! to play. He doesn't like to lay to close to me but mommy will sometimes surprise us, pull out her phone to take a photo and the CAT! will get up and run away!
Now my mommy is a pretty GREAT! person. She feeds me Nommys! She LOVES! me to pieces, even when I have not made her happy. She takes me to the doggy park and on walkies! Her job is really ruff sometimes so I make sure to cuddle next to her when I can to let her know, in the end, I will always LOVE! her!

Up, Up & Away to #BlogPaws
I'm getting ready to take off to the airport for BlogPaws. Will I see you there?
I'm going to try sending lots of Instagram photos out, you can follow me on Instagram at Phoerauf.
I'll also be tweeting, hopefully, and you can follow me there on @PetBlogsUnited.
I'm really excited about is meeting Kevin (MeowMeowMans) & his wife Tracy from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life. We've been blogging buddies forever and meeting people that I've known through the blogosphere is my favorite part of BlogPaws.
I'm not taking my laptop, so there probably won't be any BlogPaws related posts while I'm gone unless I can find a way to post from my Kindle Fire.
Watch next week for all of the BlogPaws recaps!
Once again, if you haven't done it yet, please take a moment to fill out our reader survey. It will help Pet Blogs United be the best blog we can possibly make it.

Sushi's Diary ~ New Blogger Alert
Today we have kitty mom Piper talking about her beauty, Sushi from Sushi's Diary.
I've always loved cats. I guess my dad was a big influence. When he was a teenager, a cat saved him. The cat jumped on the bandit's shoulder, startled him and ran away. From then on, we rescued cats from the streets.
Sushi is my first cat, my own pet cat. She just turned 8 months. She is curious about everything. She loves to play, eat and sleep all the time.
I decided to create her own blog to keep track of the milestones in her life. Sushi is also my stress reliever. She brings me joy with all her cuteness. She doesn't need fancy toys. Just crumple a piece of paper into a ball, toss it to her, and off she goes with it to play! She's like a baby to me... my fur baby and I love her to pieces!
Sushi: Come check out my blog. I want to have lotsa friends!
Love, Love, Love,
Piper & Sushi
Stop by & say hello to Sushi & if you haven't already taken the time to do so, please take a moment to fill out our survey!

acd6pack ~ Featured Blogger
Today we are proud to feature the special group known as the acd6pack!
The acd6pack is just that. A pack of six rescued and special needs Australian Cattle dogs. I suppose that I should re-name it acd6pack + one since we recently added a mix breed puppy! (not sure what kind of a mix, she just keeps getting bigger)
The pack is Callie, Bill, Hiker, Brook, Forest, Azule and Breeze. Life with seven dogs is sometimes busy and when you factor in one being deaf, three blind, a neglected now one year old and add two more, well, we have lots of fun!
People often wonder where the dogs are kept, if they are kenneled outdoors. Never! I always say that if I wanted yard ornaments I'd get a plastic pink flamingo. At our home, dogs are a part of the home and while they are crated when alone, they otherwise have the freedom to be wherever they want. This means that the couch gets crowded, the bed gets crowded, there are toys all over the floors and dogs often under foot but I'd not change it for anything!
The pack are just like other dogs except that some have vision, some don't, some can hear and some can't. They all enjoy being outside, going for walks, going hiking, camping, backpacking and swimming.
The best advice I got was from our veterinarian when I adopted Hiker, my first blind dog. The vet said, "Laugh at her. If you don't, you'll feel sorry for her and she won't do anything." Since I am not the "oh, you poor little thing" type, I agreed. Within a few months, Hiker was off on a backpacking trip with two other dogs. We had a great time and have not stopped the adventures.
By creating the blog, my hope is that people will read about the dogs and what it's like having a pack but more importantly, how rescued dogs and those that are labelled as special needs are just dogs that need and deserve love and a home.
Here are three of their favorite blog posts:
#BTC4A - Rescues Are Best
Three Blind Dogs
Family Portrait
As you can see acd6pack is a special group, so stop on by and tell 'em howdy!

Can We Get Your Feedback?
Can we ask for a moment of your time? At Pet Blogs United our goal is to introduce pet bloggers to each other and encourage new bloggers to become a member of this wonderful community.
We want to provide you with the best information about pet blogging, pet products, and great pet blogs you might not be familiar with.
We want to know what you want. To that end we have compiled a brief survey to find out more about you, our reader.
It's real short, only 10 questions and the feedback you provide will help to shape the direction PBU takes in the future.
If you would click over to our survey and give us your feedback Oskar will send you tons of nubbin wiggles and schnauzer snuggles! Thank you for your time and for being a part of the Pet Blogs United community.
