First Blog Anniversary-Daddy style


OUR FIRST BLOG POST:

 My wife, asked me how I wanted to start out the first post of our dog blog. She was at a loss for ideas. (Not surprisingly because she has done all the blog work so far.)


All I know is what I witnessed when Brut and Silver had their first and last litter of puppies on Jan. 2, 2008 was nothing short of (lost for words) Never in my life have I ever experienced or witnessed, read or seen in any movie what began at 2:50 am when Zappa was born and continued through until Fiona was the last one out. When Fiona was stuck and I pulled her out, I was overjoyed that she was OK.


It is a high that I still have to this day. An amazing miracle of God. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about that night. It changed me in a way that I’ll never look at life the same. I thought I knew what unconditional love was before, but what I have witnessed since that night has made me a different person. It changed my whole outlook on humans, animals, simply everything. When we got Blaze and Chance back, it made me realize how short and precious life really is.


I hope this blog will be able to show and tell even half of what my wife and I want to express to people that think dogs are just dogs. Believe me my friends, dogs are much more. If you pay attention to the dogs around you, they can teach you more than you ever thought possible about yourself, the people around you and what life is really about.-Daddy


Our goal is not so much to share how much we love our dogs, but how much their love means to us. In a world that is full of cruelty, sorrow and pain, there is nothing better than having 24 Paws of Love. -Mommy


Please check out each dog’s story, (link name under picture) and share in the unconditional love they each bring.


It was a year ago today, that the 24 Paws of Love began its journey into the blog world.  It seems like it was just yesterday when I told my wife, "Let's start a dog blog." and she gave me that, "You're crazy" look.

After this last year, I have realized that this dog blogging business is just amazing.  I am so grateful that there are other people in the world that feel the way I do about man's and woman's best friend.

And truth be told, my whole world includes my wife and our 24 Paws of Love.  There was really no one else until the world of dog blogging came into our lives.  Where we have found ourselves swept away with the care and compassion of fellow dog lovers blogging about their "Fido."

I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for being part of our blogging world.  This has been one of the best year I have had.  No matter how my day went, I could always count on the dog blogging community help make my day better.  And here's to another year of dog blogging for all of us and everything that is to come.

Cheers,
24 Paws of Love

Happy Blogoversary! I wasn't sure what my blog would become when I started it. Mainly, I wanted something that would discipline me to write regularly and to try a different kind of writing from what I'd been doing. I never dreamed that I'd meet other people who even read what I wrote, much less felt the same way I did! It's been such a fun journey for me, and it seems that you're enjoying something similar! May you have many years of blogging ahead of you!

Found your blog thru another one I have been reading. LOVE, love, love the love and relationship you have with your dogs. We are a house of 3 dogs all adopted from rescue's the last one 1 1/2 yrs old and the only one that was abused and then abandoned and she loves us with more passion than you can believe. We are working on her issues and being very patient and it is working and all dogs are accepting each other. Keep up the blogging and I will enjoy and admire what you do.
