Tired Oliver Takes Ten

The Blogpaws Bouncer

Yup. You heard right. Blogpaws was a huge success, despite our brush with Hurricane Irene. That's mostly because I was on duty. As the unofficial, off-the-record, Blogpaws Bouncer, I kept all the pups out of trouble and made sure that the bloggers got their doggie fix. I was on call 24-7 and mom and I hung tight to the bitter (no so much) end.

Of course, taking care of security was just one of my roles at this year's conference. I also had to stand in as mom's PR front man. That's no easy task but I think I pulled it off well. I met all kinds of new friends. If you're a blogger, I hope to see you next year. It's a blast!

Now that I'm home, I plan to rest up. Next year's event will be right around the corner. Meanwhile, I think mom has more jobs for me than ever over at All Things Dog Blog. I better get a quick nap in before her To Do List arrives.

Oliver May Be Going to Blowpaws, but I'm In Charge Here!

Dear Dog-Mom: We Need to Talk

Time for a Heart-to-Heart

Dear Mom:

Lately Oliver is getting most of the attention over at All Things Dog Blog. I know I'm not the chosen one that gets to go to Blogpaws, but I'm still important. Maybe I could go next year? I'd like to be the one who's packing and being fussed over. And of course you won't need a rolling carrier for me. I can walk through the airport just fine. Airplanes? No problem. I'm fearless. Just let me rest my head on your lap and we'll be there in a jiffy.

On to another matter. I think I'm pulling more than my weight in the modeling and photo shoot stuff lately, even though Oliver is doing all the Blogpaws posts. What gives? I haven't seen him doing any pool-slaying of floating toys or fetching of flying discs. At least I can do stuff that isn't just about STAY. I'm also much more help in the kitchen with KP.

Sincerely your doggie,

Tanner

PS: I'd be perfectly happy with an increase in my treat compensation and my Organix ration. Maybe a Dog Pack Snack now and then, huh? Coco won't mind.
