Update from BlogPaws: The Evening

     What a pawsome group of people I have met so far tonight. Met @FrugalDougal’s mom, @GeorgetheDuck, Your daily cute, @AmazonCares and many others. I’ve talked ferrets to a lot of people and made a lot of connections. georgetheduck

 

     One of the best moments was being able to play it forward.

     You see I won my BlogPaws registration back in January saving me a nice chunk of change. I was one of many that wanted the Bissell vacuum cleaner but I didn’t win that I won the next prize. A 500 dollar food donation from Del Monte Pet Food to a charity of my choice and 200 dollars for myself.

     My first thought was to donatate it to AmazonCares but then realized that might not be possible. So I asked my new table mates Designcoyote and her co hort if I love Rescue Animals was their charity and found out that while that wasn’t they did work for Central Texas Feline Rescue. I told them I was donating my prize to them. I thought they both were going to cry. The charity has been paying out of their own pockets to feed these animals.

     I don’t know all the people in my pictures so if you see one of you please comment with which picture as I am going to number them and your name. founders Pic 1 Tom Collins,Yvonne DiVita and Caroline Golon

     After talking to a lot of people about blogging and ferrets I have returned to my room and was greeted by another pawsome advertisement.PICT0125 Going to be talking to them about their product and the possibilities it might offer my furkids.

     Ordered a salad and decided to splurge and have something sweet. Doesn’t this espresso raspberry chocolate cake look nommy?PICT0128

 

     Driver is going out on the town tonight. Depending on how I feel I may wander back down towards the lobby and see what is going on down there.
