I take them all the time, sometimes I just need a break like after Fred died and sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging.<br /><br />Ive made some wonderful friends I hope to have in my life for a long time.

Also, I would love to get to know the humans behind the pets!

I went to BlogPaws last year and it really gave me some new motivation - it was so great to meet other bloggers in person and have a face to go with a name. I was pretty nervous, but everyone was really welcoming. I wish I was going this year, and I'll try to go again next year for sure. So maybe I will see you there! :)Pup Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539666792034242448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69084423516150771.post-21610751569690844942012-05-28T11:37:09.830-04:002012-05-28T11:37:09.830-04:00In the meantime, I have just received a Liebster A...In the meantime, I have just received a Liebster Award, and would be proud to award your blog in turn!

It seems a lot of us pet bloggers are introverts but that is something else we have in common as well as our 'obsession' for our pets, and often a preference for their company rather than human company:) But like minded human company is different, don't you think?<br /><br />Having just come back from a self imposed 2 month break from blogging it's difficult to get back into the swing of things. I'm so far behind that it's impossible to catch up and that makes me feel bad instead of refreshed. But it's not the end of the world, it will keep turning no matter how I feel:) Don't feel guilty if you take a break. We'll still be here when you return.

Not that it hasn't been great making all of these connections, but because I just don't have a lot of time at my disposal... I feel like I get behind in my blog reading, which makes me feel guilty, and I know that I am not turning out as many posts as I used to either.<br /><br />But the blogging community is second to none, and all of you were here to cheer me on when it felt like so many people that I see face to face were not.<br /><br />If you do take a break, I completely understand.

I agree, it would be nice to actually talk to other dog lovers who understand that loving a dog has nothing to do with money. I've gotten the same thing from my friends as you have. "You know, you'd have a lot more money if you didn't have all those animals." Maybe so, but it's not the money that makes me happy...it's my dogs and cats that do that.<br /><br />I have to admit, I've never heard of Blog Paws, either. BTW, having everyone come to you is not being selfish at all and it would be totally awesome!!!<br /><br />If you do decide to take a break from blogging, please don't stay away too long.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489562807203642384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69084423516150771.post-13780941384808886542012-05-24T14:29:54.518-04:002012-05-24T14:29:54.518-04:00I really relate to this post, it's funny how t...I really relate to this post, it's funny how the other people that are as super crazy over their dogs as we are, never seem to be around in day to day life.

I hope you have the same opportunity because it is really special. <br /><br />I considered attending Blogpaws for the same reason, but then I realized most of the bloggers that I want to meet aren't really involved with Blogpaws.

A cat lover said to me, "Don't they bark a lot?" I was astonished. Yes, dogs bark, but it's not like any animal is perfect! You fall in love with your pet, whatever it may be. <br />But lots of the people in the community are compassionate and polite. Absolutely all the pet bloggers, as I can see, really bring a lot of confidence to me, and keep me blogging! I can't wait until you start blogging again.

I'd love to be able to sit and have a cup of coffee with you...it's kind of what we do everyday...just typing instead of talking. One of my best friends I met through blogging and she only lives 20 minutes from me. Now her husband and mine have become buddies as well! I totally agree with you...the "outside" world just does not understand those of us who have dogs and/or cats that are family!!

I think we all get on that blogging fence once in awhile, and your right it's nice to take a break but then you miss your dog support system and blogging friends. When our late basset Barney had to have pins put in his broken leg, someone said "Why don't you just buy a new dog?" and I lost it! That's why it is nice to have this community where we all think alike about our pets isn't it. So don't worry break or no break there will always be blogging friends here waiting even if it is for short conversations about our pets! :)Bassetmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016708510665819531noreply@blogger.com
