Have you heard about the Million Blog List? I just signed up a few days ago on the Million Blog List so if you haven’t heard about it yet then go and sign up and get your blog listed. Basically it is an experiment to see how long it will take to get 1,000,000 blogs to list themselves on the site. The list was just started on April 10, 2008 and it seems to be off to a pretty good start. The way I see it, why not sign up because the more places you can get your blog listed the better.

Now that spring is here and summer is right around the corner, your pets will need to be protected against fleas and ticks.  My little man Aspen has already had his first monthly treatment of K9 Advantix. Aspen is a red Shiba Inu which is a Japanese breed dog. They are pretty rare here in the United States but from what I hear they are very popular in Japan. I will try to get a picture of him added to my site soon. If anyone has a Shiba Inu or knows about them, I would love to hear from you! It’s so hard to find other Shiba Inu lovers but I can always find other Rottweiler lovers. Rottweilers are much more popular here in the US than Shiba’s are.

Aspen pretty much has the run of the house, he goes in and out all day and I can’t have him bringing in those awful fleas and ticks…I just can’t stand them!! K9 Advantix seems to work very well for him. I always try to stock up when I find a good deal. Save at the Drs. Foster and Smith Flea and Tick Sale! Offer ends 5.12.08! This is a great company, I shop with them all the time and I’ve never had any problems with them at all! They have a great selection of products for all kinds of animals, not just dogs. So definately check it out…your pet will thank you for it!!!

The Animal Rescue Site is a wonderful organization that helps animals that are in shelters.  Over 10 million animals are put to death every year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted. Wouldn’t you like to do something to help if you could?! Well there is one simple thing that each of us can do everyday to make a difference in the lives of many of these animals. The Animal Rescue Site began in 2002 and have funded more than 126,000,000 bowls of food for rescued animals in shelters and sanctuaries.

Each click that is made on The Animal Rescue Site’s purple graphic above will take you to the page where you will see the purple button to click that will help supply these animals with food and care that they so desperately need. So something as simple as one click a day can change their lives. I think that we can all find time in our busy lives to help these animals. I am a huge animal lover as many of you know, and I think this is a great way to get lots of people involved in this cause. Tell your friends and family, people that you work with or anyone that you think might be interested in saving the lives of these animals. Lets get the word out and help these animals!!!

In addition to clicking, you can also help even more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With every item purchased, additional funds are generated to help these animals. And they have some of the cutest items for sale!!! Go check it out and help save a life!

Do you consider yourself a full or part time blogger? I have met some really great bloggers since starting my own blog just a few months ago. It really got me wondering though,how many of you consider blogging your main job or main source of income? Do you think you spend more time blogging than you would with a regular 9-5 job? I am just trying to get a feel for where everyone is at. When I first started this blog I really had no idea what I was doing but I have learned so much already and I continue to learn more and more everyday. I guess what really surprised me the most is how friendly and helpful other bloggers really are! I really appreciate all the help I have received from others and hope that I can also be of some help to others just starting out as well.

I know some of you have been doing this for many years and then there are some of us that are just finding our way in the blogging world. Do you remember what got you into blogging?! Do your friends and family really understand what you do when you tell them that you are a blogger or that you make money with your blog?

I would love to hear about everyone’s experience with blogging. What mistakes did you make in the beginning. What one thing have you learned that has made all the difference in your success? If you had one piece of advice for a new blogger,what would it be?
