Las Vegas, BlogPaws 2014, & Swag #Giveaway

This month we had another BlogPaws adventure.

Up, up, and away we flew!  We were on our way to Las Vegas!

We went to the "strip" for a few days before BlogPaws officially started.  There was so much to see and sniff.

I had fun riding around Las Vegas in my new travel stroller that Mom ordered from Nip and Bones.  They shipped it to the hotel so I didn't have to bring it on the airplane.  I saw a fountain show inside a mall, cruised by a petite Eiffle Tower (Paris casino), and slept in a castle (Excalibur casino).

While we were exploring the "strip", I met a new kitty pal called Hello Kitty.

 I rode the world's tallest wheel, called the High Roller.  It kept changing colors, and I am happy to say one of the colors was pink!  BOL!

  I found a little dog park behind the Flamingo casino.  I also found a dog friendly souvenir shop inside the Flamingo, and I borrowed Mom's plastic to go shopping.  I bought a little bed, a rolling carrier, and a pink flamingo squeaky.  I named the squeaky " 'Mingo".  Mom thought the carrier I chose would be too small, but I climbed in to show her I could fit, then I refused to get out until she bought it for me.  BOL!

Then it was time to move to the BlogPaws hotel (Westin).  It was pawgeous!   My pal Herman's (@Tattlecat) people gave Mom and I ride to the BlogPaws hotel.  

The next day I was happy to say hello (bark) to some good (yummy & fun) pals.   Why yes, I would love to take a treat from you.  Thank you PetSafe, Merrick, and all the pawsome sponsors I sniffed & sampled.

 I watched my pal Lorie Huston, DVM receive an award from the BlogPaws staff.   Congratulations Lorie!

My furrific pals Lisa and Caren were there as BlogPaws Ambassadors to answer questions anyone might ask. 

It was fun to see several furry pals zooming around in strollers like me.   I met a #PetChat pal from the land down under, @DogDancingGuy.    Herman's stroller had a pawsome banner with his blog URL (wonderpurr.com) on it.  I also met some adorable little Poms, Jack & Isabella.   Gretel was part of the stroller brigade too.

I was very comfortable in my pink Pet-A-Roo from Outward Hound by Kyjen. (Future review).   I posed next to a few booths while I was relaxing in my Pet-A-Roo:  Merrick & Jones Natural Chews. 

I enjoyed some playtime with other small dogs and their humans in the dog daycare sponsored by PetSafe.   Sometimes nothing feels better than a good wiggle roll!  Don't forget to nominate your city in PetSafe's Bark for Your Park contest!  You could win a new dog park for your city.  You have until June 7, 2014 to nominate your city.

I enjoyed seeing Sugar again, and sniffing some new furry pals like Winston the white Corgi.  Of course, I am always happy to see familiar faces in flat pet form, including a new flat pal - Bentley. 

 I also met a Capybara named Mia, and a blind poodle wearing a new invention called "Muffin's Halo" to prevent her from bumping into walls.

 I was thrilled to walk the red carpet with my "twin" Cute Sophia Loren while wearing our matching couture gowns from PetMonarchy.   PetMonarchy designs such beautiful pet fashions.    Sophia's and my red carpet dresses featured a hand-beaded double train that was trimmed with beaded tassels.   These shimmering golden dresses were decorated with the BlogPaws logo and color scheme for this special event.   At the pawty, I posed for a photo with #PetChat pal Dr. Anna, and woofed Dino (founder of Triberr) into modeling a tiara with Renee (Marvelous Products).

BlogPaws wouldn't be the same without pawsome pals like my roommate, Emmy the Pet Sitter and @Tildatoo.   It was great to see plush @CathyKeisha, @GeorgetheDuck, Flat Edna, and Flat Carma Poodale.  I wish they could have all been here in pawson.  Emmy took all of us on a fun adventure on the way back to my castle hotel.

We had some airline trouble, so the trip home was very ruff.  I was exhausted by the time I finally got home.  
On Friday, all of the swag I shipped to myself arrived.  You know what that means.....Giveaway time!
