BlogPaws and Christmas wishes

It has been another incredibly busy stretch, and way too long since I’ve updated. Things starting really rolling with BlogPaws in September. This was an amazing gathering of pet bloggers and enthusiasts, where I had the opportunity to talk to lots of pet people about our products and to share pet cleaning tips. For example, did you know that enzyme products need time and moisture to work? For those really tough stains, you should saturate the area then cover it with a damp cloth and let it sit for 24 to 48 hours. That will give the enzymes time to work at “digesting” the stain. You can get more pet clean up tips on bissell.com or you can even download the BISSELL® Stain Solver iPhone App.

While at BlogPaws, I also had an opportunity to check out the other sponsors’ booths. One of my favorites was HelpJoey.com, an incredibly unique, hilarious campaign to encourage spaying and neutering to stop pet overpopulation. This is a serious subject, and the usual campaigns are emotional and sad. Joey’s approach is quite different.

I also loved the toys from Kyjen. They had an alligator-shaped squeaker mat toy with 16 squeakers! I gave the alligator to Rocky when I got home and he thought it was the best thing ever. The squeaking drove me a little crazy, but he had so much fun with it that I couldn’t bear to take it away from him… This toy lasted a little longer than many of the plush toys that I bring home, and it took him a few weeks to get to every squeaker. Rocky is hoping to get the Invincibles Snake for Christmas to see if the squeakers really keep squeaking after he bites them!
