Week in Review: Entering the Blogging Community
I’m a little late getting this out but last week was just so busy! I posted one to two posts a day and experimented with ways to further diversify my blog. Whatever I’m doing, it must be working as the number of visits to my site is up 119%. Thank you so much for reading!
First off, I gave Cricket a haircut. As you can see, he needed it! Professional groomers and hairstylists, please be kind. I make no claims of being an actual groomer. Even with all the unevenness, I think I give an okay puppy cut.
My favorite part is the tuft of hair on top. If you swirl is just right, it looks like a Hershey’s Kiss. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! ;)
I found this “No Dogs Allowed” sign outside a restaurant. I love how the dog is stylized. Even though I want to take my dogs with me everywhere I go, I agree, dogs shouldn’t be inside restaurants.
Speaking of dogs outside restaurants, Saturday Jeremy and I met up with the in-laws to eat lunch at Johnny’s Bistro on Main in historic Ellicott City, MD. Turns out the walking mall is a great place to go dog watching. I observed the behavior of three dogs: a pit puppy, adult french bulldog, and older australian shepherd. All took the potential stressor of crowded streets without problem. I was impressed!
Later the fam and I headed into Fox Run Antiques where I saw the cutest 11 week old french bulldog soaking up the attention of several tens of people (not all at once of course). The owner was great. She held her puppy and controlled the interactions. Without even realizing it, she made sure her puppy had good experiences with people. All I have to say is, “you go girl!” “Way to socialize that pup!”
Seeing pups off to a good start and finding these awesome pineapple bowls made my day.
Finally, last week I posted my nerdy analysis of this amazing comic by fellow bloggers Cuddles and Rage.

Yesterday Jeremy and I spent all day working with them on some ideas for collaborating. I’m super excited! Not only are they awesome people, but I’m working my way into the blogging community. I can’t wait to see what our combined creativity, talent, and expertise come up with. As another example of their work, check out their book on Etsy.
See you soon!
