BlogPaws® Our Blogging Conference Experience

Silver and Dusty chat about the BlogPaws 2017 Finalist nominations

Silver:- Will you look at that! Look! 

Dusty:- What is it young Silver?

Silver:- Mum said we are Finalists in the BlogPaws Nose to Nose Awards 2017!

*Dusty peers at the screen and scrolls down the list….* Hold on there young Silver, we are finalists twice. Look further down the list…..

Silver:- You’re right. Finalist in the Best Pet Blog Video AND Best Written Pet Blog Post (Sponsored). Woohoo!

Dusty :- Silver, do you realise how important this is? For the Dash Kitten Crew, and for the Blog our Founder Cat dreamed of? It means we stand shoulder to shoulder with the best pet bloggers in the business, all around the world.

Do you remember you told me how Dash asked Sparklecat for help when he was a total newbie? She set him off on the right paw, and then we discovered BlogPaws and its amazing folks! My, my….. * shakes head * how we’ve grown since! Dash would be so proud – now we are helping others…….

They pause and sit quietly, then….” C’mon Silver, let’s take a look at the other finalists. We will be in good company I’ll bet.”

Look at the others here Silver, all fine work! Choosing between all four of us will be a tough job for the judges. I believe we did a good product review for Petcube though, and us on the other side of the globe too. They are certainly a company with a worldwide view!

Silver Looks at the BlogPaws 2017 Nose to Nose Video Finalists

2017 BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose - BEST PET BLOG VIDEO FINALIST badge

Dusty look! Our Duckling post made the cut! I love that one,  so unexpected, and it worked, thanks to the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust!

I wanted to show that seizing the moment, using what you had, was important, because you captured the real excitement with the magic of video! That mobile ‘phone of Mum’s was so easy to use. ‘Phones just keep getting better and better for movie making, I keep telling people! 

That workshop with Ron Lee at BlogPaws last year made a big difference to our focus. I hope he inspires as many people at Myrtle Beach in 2017 – Imagine they will be queueing up …. but I am rambling….

Is Mum going to the BlogPaws 2017 Nose to Nose Awards Dusty?

No, it’s a lot of $$$$, and, a long way! BUT she will be cheering on her buddies Savannah’s Paw Tracks and Nerissa’s Life who are also up as Finalists at the Nose to Nose Awards!

After last year’s excitement as International Ambassador to Blogpaws, mum has totally exceeded her budget! So, amazing as it would be, we will be burning Twitter up with the #blogpaws hashtag, (and some Facebook). We aim to soak up and really enjoying the vibe from here in New Zealand, and cheer the live stream from the Nose to Nose Awards themselves.

    Congratulations on two finalist spots. So sorry you won’t be joining us at BlogPaws on the red carpet this year to celebrate all the hard work and success. It’s exciting to have 2 internationals in the video category. BTW I’ll be on my way to Sydney, Australia end of May to see my family. All the best – Susie and Kilo the Pug.

    Congrats! And this post brought a tear to my eye because like your founder Dash Kitten, our founder Pip, is no longer here to experience this either. I sure hope they both know (wherever they are) that what they started has gone on to accomplish amazing and special things. Cheers to Dash Kitten and Pip!

    We already knew you stood shoulder to shoulder with the best pet bloggers in the business, all around the world. You don’t need a Finalist status for your readers to know that! The duckling post and video was our absolute favorite post. And the sponsored post was first rate because you included hints on how to make the best of the product which so few people do! Congratulations to all of you.
