BlogPaws West goes on and on and on...

It's the Monday after. After BlogPaws.

If you were there, I expect you're smiling ear to ear. If you weren't there, I hope you were smiling about the live streaming, courtesy of Eukanuba.

We're regrouping to discuss the future. The BlogPaws team, Tom Collins, Caroline Golon, and Yvonne DiVita, want to take this time to thank everyone who is BlogPaws. That would be our fantastic sponsors, our outstanding and talented speakers, and you - our community. Without all of you, BlogPaws would not be here. Without each voice, each person, and every pet that has a furever home, BlogPaws would just be a whisper in the wind.

We also want to give a huge hug to Destination by Design. Many of you commented on how friendly, helpful and professional all of the members of Dbd were - and we not only agree, we were delighted to hear it from our guests. DBD made this conference rock and roll!

AND... we heard, through the grapevine, that everyone loved the Hyatt's big, floofy beds (including ourselves)! Not to mention the friendliness of the hotel staff and the way they made all of us with pets, welcome. Grand Hyatt Denver - we <3 you!

As you know, an event like this does not happen on its own. It's created by many hands and many hearts. Each one important in his or her own way. We are indebted to everyone for making this event as spectacular as it was.  

Please enjoy the live streaming, still available for viewing, and hop over to DogTipper to see what your pet blogger friends are saying about the BlogPaws West event. If you have a moment, visit the Be the Change for Pets page on Facebook. And, visit Miah Rae's site, Start the Change. She's hoping to get more kids involved. Together, we can all make a big difference, no matter how old we are, how small we are, or...even how big we are.

BlogPaws invites all of you to share YOUR be the change ideas. Share your pet parenting, pet support, pet videos and surprises, with us so we may share with the growing BlogPaws Community.

Stay tuned for the big announcement on BlogPaws 2011. We <3 all of you!

I have to say I am inspired. I was feeling there wasn't a lot I could do to make more changes as my blog isn't focused like that. I woke up this morning (after a good night's return home sleep) and realized there is a major change I want to make in my main website that Chey's blog is attached to. AND instead of working with my shelter about a blog, I think I'll send them over to the stream so they can see what's happening online for themselves!

THANK YOU for making BlogPaws West such a fabulous event! I learned so much and really enjoyed connecting with other bloggers. The whole conference exceeded my expectation!

[Yvonne DiVita]

@Caren, so wish you had been there. I hope we get you there next time for sure. Thanks for your great note.

@Angie, thanks for the kudos. Glad we met and exceeded your expectations. We'll work hard to keep doing that.

My head is still exploding from all of the amazing information and inspiration from this past weekend. I returned with renewed focus to make Cory's blog become what I always meant it to be. I have already included a widget to feature a homeless pet from the rescue organization that saved Cory and Ellie.

Thank you for a wonderful event!

What a fabulous conference- meticulously organized, profoundly educational, and somehow managed to attract only wonderfully charming, friendly, helpful people! I've attended numerous conferences in my day- this one ranks as one of the best. Can't wait until the next BlogPaws event. Many thinks to the organizers.

So... I'm new to all this... What do you have to do in order to be involved with blogpaws?
