5 Things I Learned from BlogPaws That Improved my Blog

I had never considered starting a blog until I published a book, which needed an “official website” to go along with it. And believe me when I tell you it was a lot harder than I thought! Initially, I intended my blog to be a continuation of Lola’s diary, chronicling her and Lexy’s daily activities, and after seeing what other people were doing with their blogs I wanted to take mine to a different level. But my blog wasn’t getting much attention and I didn’t know how to improve that until I joined BlogPaws®.

Seflie Sunday - Never Turn Down an Opportunity for a Selfie.

Hello, everyone.  This is Lexy checking in with a selfie for Sunday. I was not planning on doing a selfie from my cat tree this week, but a girl has to make the best out of a situation. And I think I did! 

I was sitting here minding my own business, engaged in bird watching, when Mother starts her business with the camera. Now, I know I'm photogenic, but sometimes a girl just likes to relax and not worry if her fur is combed. 

As you can see, I wasn't all that thrilled.
