Getting Personal with BlogPaws Speaker:Dorian Wagner - BlogPaws

Paws down, she's the CUTEST speaker at the conference this year...

1) Tell us your name, your blog, what it's about and why you do it.

My blog is YourDailyCute and it's all about... (I'll give you a couple seconds to guess here...got it...?) everything cute! This is the tag line I kind of use: For the love of all things cuddly, furry, squishy and edible. Because sometimes you just need your daily dose of Cute.

I've also used my blog for more than oohing and ahhing at-- last year during the holiday season, I got together with two friends I met through the Cute and put together Santa Paws Drive, a project aimed at bringing Christmas cheer and toys to shelter animals. It was a huge success, and the connections and friends I've made through blogging are what made it all possible.

2) How is your expertise relevant to the pet people attending BlogPaws? (Is this your first blogging conference?)

Besides being the authority on what's cute or not?! Heh.

I hope to share ideas and ways to use your blog for more than just a fun hobby. The pet community online is one of the nicest, most generous groups you'll ever hope to find, and there are a ton of ways we can all get together to really make a difference in needy animals' lives.

I'm a speaker for the session about Being The Change You Want to See, and these are the things we're going to focus on. Come by and check us out at BlogPaws and let's do something pawsome together.

3) How far are you coming - cross the city, cross the state, cross the country? Are you bringing your pet?

I'm coming all the way from South Florida (so it better not be cold in Ohio!) I wish my two cats, Pimp and Moo, could come with me, but poor Pimp can't even handle the 20-minute car ride to the vet...I doubt he'd make it all the way to Ohio! You'll have to settle for seeing them every week for Two Cats Tuesday on YourDailyCute. :)

4) Whom do you want to meet most, at BlogPaws?

I can't wait to meet EVERYONE! You are all my kind of people. It's going to be like being surrounded by a ton of me's. Bring on the pet lovers!

Oh, and besides meeting new friends, I can't wait to meet some of the people from the sponsor companies. My dream job would be to do what I do with the Cute, only for a large company and actually make a living off my love for animals. It's possible, and BlogPaws is the place to find out how.

5) Sign off by telling us what topic your pet would talk about at the conference, if he or she could talk and even wanted to talk.

I'm pretty sure all Pimp would talk about is treats, and all Moo would discuss is how he could get more cuddle time in.

But if I could talk on their behalf, I'd tell the world how much pets can change your life for the better; how they're the best friends a person could hope for, and how they have a gift to know just what you need from them.

...and there's nothing CUTER than that!

See you at BlogPaws, everyone!
