Yappy Hour Is Friday!

Yappy Hour Pre #BarkWorld pawty, Friday, Sept. 16, 8-10 p.m. EDT

I'm sure all my pals know that mom is speaking at BarkWorld Expo which is coming soon - it kicks off September 29th! She will be telling folks all about advertising on Facebook. She has done lots of ads on Facebook for her job at Virginia State Parks. While I am disappointed I will not be going, I know that my last hotel/conference experience was just too much for me so I am okay with it until I get older and mom invests in some significant obedience training.

Since BarkWorld will be two weeks away on Friday, there is going to be a great Yappy Hour Twitter pawty!

It is going to be exciting with the Shibbering Cheetos (@ShibberingC) performing, prizes and lots of fun. Click here for more information.




And, if you have not signed up for BarkWorld Expo 2011 it is NOT TOO LATE. Victoria Stilwell will be a keynote speaker from the show "It's Me or the Dog." Hmmm maybe mom can pick up some tips. Just because it's called BARKworld, don't worry the sessions are good for all anipals (and even humans).

P.S. Now that dad and I aren't going, mom would love a female roommate (dad insists on the female part) and she might just have a conference ticket available too. Email her at nancyDOTheltmanATdcr.virginia.gov.

Check Out the Barkworld Expo Speakers!

The Barkworld Expo speakers are listed on their site now. Yep, that's my mom on that list! She's going to talk about advertising on Facebook in her session called "Making Every Bark Count: The Ins and Outs of Facebook Advertising."

Mom advertises for her job, Virginia State Parks, on lots of places but she says Facebook is the most fun because you know you are reaching the people that are interested in your product or service.

I know a lot of my pals are mad at Facebook because they don't like us animals to have profile pages. Mom got me legal by setting me up a page. They actually call me a Public Figure! Makes mom and I smile every time we see it.

But lots of the recent changes Facebook has made is brilliant for advertisers and if you come to BarkWorld Expo mom will tell you why. [Mom was getting worried here, thinking I was going to give away her secret right here on my bloggie like that talking dog on the Bush's Baked Beans commercial].

You have to come to Barkworld because you will get to meet me! I'm packing my bag already - this is the bag mom got last year as part of the Bark and Ride promotion from Doggie Baggage.

I'm on Facebook

First I had a Twitter account. Then I found out many of my pals had blogs so then mom promised she would help me start a blog when we were on vacation. She kept her promise as here I am.

But then all my friends were getting Facebook pages. Mom said No, she was too busy to keep it up. She does Twitter, Facebook and blogging for work too so she knows it takes time. She added Dogbook for me and the other animals in the family on her page.

Then Bunny Jean Cook got her page and mom said, okay when she had time. I kept whining and she said when she was on vacation for Christmas. So, tonight she set up my page!

Now I'm on Facebook, I can finally rest!

Come be my Friend on Facebook!
