I’m a 2015 BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Award Finalist!

March 3, 2015 By Amanda Yantos 36 Comments

So.  Holy crap.  This is not really happening.

I’ve been planning my trip to the big BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN in May.  I was thinking about getting Wynston a custom made tuxedo jacket for the event and yesterday I was joking with Matt when I said “Okay, if for some extremely crazy reason that I am a finalist for a Nose-to-Nose award, I’m going to order him a custom jacket.”  Of course, neither of us thought I’d be a finalist.  Custom tuxedos are EXPENSIVE!

No joke, when finalists were revealed during BlogPaws Twitter chat tonight, I scrolled down the list and jumped out of my chair when I saw Dog Mom Days listed under the “Best New Pet Blog” category…

Tears.  Oh, the tears.

I’ve been working so hard on my blog.  I started blogging in December 2013, and here I am, all of those 3am nights paying off.

All finalists were nominated in January of this year.  The judges went through over 1,000 nominations to reveal the 48 finalists in 12 categories.  I am one of 4 finalists in my category.  This is not happening…there are several thousand bloggers in the BlogPaws community alone!

Am I in a dream?

What’s crazy is that enough people read/like my blog for me to become a finalist for Best New Pet Blog.  Wow.

In the meantime, I need a new dress!!!!!!!!  The winners will be announced at the red carpet ceremony in Nashville on May 30th.  I am so honored to be nominated for Best New Pet Blog with these other fantastic blogs:

The True Story of a Not So Crazy Cat Lady

Puppy Leaks

Live Wag Bark

Thank you too all of my readers, friends and family for always supporting me and believing in me! I love you all!  And a huge thanks to the BlogPaws community for teaching me so much!

    Congratulations again! It’s such an honor, well deserved! If there’s ever a time when you would get Wynston a new, custom made tuxedo, this is it girlfriend!! You both need to look Smashing for the awards ceremony at the conference!

      I absolutely agree, Cathy! Hahaha 🙂 Thanks so much for your kindness! I dropped $60 on a tux for Wyn but it’s going to be extremely worth it!

    Congratulations to you! I hate to say that I’m not sure I’ve been by your blog, so of course I had to come to see what I’ve been missing. Your dogs are adorable, and I’ll definitely be back to read more. I cannot wait to see Wynston in that adorable tux at BlogPaws, and I hope we get a chance to meet.
