Lucky Enough to Do What I Love

Sheldon as a spokes dog for Natural Balance
Thursday was another busy day. The cast and crew from the Who Let the Dogs Out TV show were in Salt Lake City for a number of TV appearances on morning news shows. I was helping tweet-out photos and behind-the-scenes stuff  to people following online, using certain hashtags on Twitter. 

Then, later in the day we opened up the Blog Paws conference with a little show with Tillman, Norman the Scooter Dog, and Rose and Sully too. I had Sheldon with me all day. He became an unofficial spokes dog for Natural Balance. He even got to sit in Tillman's fancy director's chair for a photo next to a giant stuffed plush Tillman.

It was Tillman who was what the crowd at Blog Paws wanted to see, and as usual he did not disappoint. To this day whenever I see Tillman skate, it makes me smile and I applaud in sheer happiness. He sure is one incredible dog.

Luckily for me, as a long time blogger who writes about pets (among other topics), being at the Blog Paws conference is more than just work for me. It also happens to be something I am passionate about, so it comes easily to me. Over the past six years I've gotten to know lots of bloggers from around the United States, and world-wide too. And now that Sheldon is a micro-blogger with his own Twitter presence, it is fun to see how many bloggers now want to meet him before me, cool huh? But I definitely understand, after all, Sheldon is my best friend! I'm just grateful that I work in an industry with pets and that I am part of a company that always seems to have fun. Yep I am lucky enough to do what I love.

  1. It's a good thing you're not envious of Sheldon's fame. ;-)
