Hi Popcorn,

I have a difficult time creating content with my phone and I think I’d feel the same using an iPad. I really like my trusty laptop. Right now I’m trying to decide if I should get the high powered MacBook Retina or a more portable MacBook Air.

I kinda failed at the 366 posts for 2012. I kept it up for about 2 1/2 months and got a little discouraged with the quality of my posts. I’m now doing about 2-4 posts a week. I guess I could still catch up to 366, but not likely. After 5 years of blogging I’m still trying to find my natural posting rhythm.

Thanks for stopping by!
Colby

Xoxoxo Popcorn!

@Pamela, He wouldn’t be allowed to stay in the play areas because of strict guidelines from his guide dog school. I was thinking about having him stay in the room during parts of the day. It would be nice for him to work on his socialization, but I’m going to wait and see. Thanks for letting me know some of the pet friendly details about the BlogPaws Conference it makes my decision a bit easier on whether or not I should bring Apache.

I’m not bringing Honey because I have to fly and Honey is too big to fly in the cabin with me.

As for bringing Apache, they have play areas where you can leave him if you think it’s a good fit (we find it a bit rambunctious for Honey) and he can probably sleep in your room during sessions but you can have him with you for the more social parts of the event.

@Pamela, creating time to blog is a good subject. Are you planning on taking Honey again this year? Whether or not I bring Apache will depend on Apache. He still acts like a puppy so when I’m out socializing him I really have to concentrate on his training. I don’t want to devote all my time to working with him and miss out on important parts of the conference. If he progresses over the next few months I’ll feel much better about bringing him with me.

I’d urge you to bring Apache. It would be a great socialization experience with lots of people who understand what it means to have a puppy in training.

I took Honey last year and she did great.

You’ll also meet quite a few traveling cats and even a few ferrets.

I’m working on a presentation with Robbi Hess. My topic of interest is creating time to blog. I’ll post more about it soon over at Something Wagging.

@Pamela, I’ve been in a real nice rhythm with my blog posting and I really wanted to keep that up while I was on vacation. I’m still a little bummed out that bad internet connection broke my string of consecutive days. Oh well.

Yep, one of my goals is to attend BlogPaws this year. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I should bring Apache, my current guide dog puppy in training along with me. Have you brought any of your dogs in the past?

That’s awesome that you’re speaking at BlogPaws! I’d definitely like to meet up while I’m there. Do you know what you’re going to talk about?

That said, I try to blog during my vacation because I enjoy it and it helps keep my rhythm up. But I usually post on something a bit unusual. Last year, for instance, I highlighted some of my favorite bloggers. This year, I’m hoping to run some interviews.

BTW, I saw somewhere online that you are planning to attend BlogPaws. I’ll be speaking and I hope we get a chance to meet while there.
