I can’t believe that exactly one year ago today I started the YourDesignerDog Blog! It feels like just yesterday my little puppy Sadie and I had lots of cute photos but nowhere to share them all. Then I discovered the world of pet blogging. I never imagined a year ago what an amazing, rewarding journey this would become. Sadie and I have met (both in person and virtually) many wonderful, kind-hearted people. I’ve learned more in this past year than I ever expected, about blogging, web design, social media, advertising, photography, dogs, animals in general; the list could go on and on. Sadie and I have had many exciting adventures I never would have undertaken before starting this blog. So today, on my first blogiversary, I’d like to share some of YourDesignerDog’s vital statistics of the past year. And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for a little giveaway to thank all you loyal readers for your support!
