Do Pet Videos Really Matter to Bloggers?

by: Carol Bryant

Do pet videos really make a difference and do they have the power to make an impact on traffic? Our friends at PetHub came to the BlogPaws 2012 Conference in Salt Lake City this summer and walked away with that answer.

"One workshop in particular highlighted the incredible bond that humans can form with animals.  It was called The Power of YouTube, but taught me much more about the power of love between dogs and humans than it did about the power of YouTube," PetHub writes... and then they go on to say oh-so-much more...

BlogPaws Interviews Uggie Trainer

by: Carol Bryant

BlogPaws had the honor and privilege of attending and covering the Betty White Friars Club Roast in New York City this past Wednesday, May 16. Betty White’s passion, zest, and lifelong advocacy for animals made us so proud to be there.

We interviewed the famous celebri-dog, Uggie, and his owner/trainer, Omar Von Muller. Uggie was rescued from being sent to a pound and here at BlogPaws, we celebrate, wag, and raise our sparkling water glass to Omar! He is famous for his roles in the box office movies Water for Elephants and The Artist. Uggie has retired but came out of retirement for this very special event, so BlogPaws has an inside scoop on this canine star and his owner.

Lesson from the Spooky Buddies screening at BlogPaws: Pet-Friendly Theaters?

By Tom Collins

Chazz' Mom's fun review of the Disney Spooky Buddies screening at BlogPaws brought back how cool I thought it was having so many of our 4-footed "buddies" in the audience with us. To me, it seemed like much of the live barking and resulting laughter was right on cue and in reaction to the dog action on the screen.

Spooky Buddies is going straight to DVD, so we can have that same experience watching it at home with our "kids" (no age or species limitations)! ;-D (The DVD/Blu-Ray release is next week, but you can order it from Amazon now - affiliate link.)

But that got me thinking, maybe Disney should use its clout in the industry to get theaters to have pet-friendly screen times for movies like this.

Hey, if hotels can do it — and have fun with it, from all we're hearing! — why not theaters?

Might it help save that slice of the industry? What do you think?

You Are Going to Be in Denver...

The Grand Hyatt Denver is located at 1750 Welton Street – which happens to be a stone’s throw away from the 16th Street Mall! 

The mall is home to 300 different stores, over 50 restaurants, and the Denver Pavilions; needless to say there are many sights and attractions right within walking distance. Another Great thing about the mall is that it is now a wireless internet hotspot where users can log in anywhere along the street, for FREE!

City Park is a few blocks directly east of the hotel and has the Denver Zoo & Denver Museum of Nature and Science right in its borders.

Near the southern end of the 16th Street Mall is the Golden Triangle Museum District. Segway tours are offered of the city, or there is the bicycle option for those more adventurous characters.

You have plenty of fun things to do, on your off time. Don't forget to share - pics, stories, and adventures.
