Yup, you heard me say it, and I’m a nut for a good Photo Challenge!! Wow do kids even talk like that? Probably not. But since I returned from the 2014 Blogpaws Conference in beautiful Lake Las Vegas, NV I have been in a blogging slump. You would think that I would be pumped and ready to go, making changes to this blog and doing new things, well that is partially true. If you haven’t seen it yet we have a new series of posts called Super Shih Tzu Saturday, it’s kind of like our own version of Shih Tzu of the Week. I have also started going through my blog and revamping some of the SEO stuff I learned with the wonderful classed given by Matt Beswick!
So when my friend Kimberly of the wonderful blog Keep The Tail Wagging launched the #30DaysOfSummer photo challenge sponsored by @Staples, well I just had to join in the fun! Yesterday, June 1st was the kick off!
If you remember in the month of April we participated in the 30 day blogging A to Z Challenge which was a lot of fun and really got us going… for a while. But since I have a love of photography, and that is what I have gone back to school for, I thought this would be right up my alley. I’m still wondering how Kimberly knew we were in search of a great summer photo challenge.
So yesterday we kicked off the photo challenge with “My Dog”, a little pic of Riley sitting on her agility pause table. I love this picture of her and the fact that just a few short months ago she was scared to death of the pause table. With a little love, understanding, a clicker and some treats, we can over come any obstacle.
So if you aren’t a fan already, make sure you follow us on Instagram ! This is going to be such a fun photo challenge, and hey, while you’re at it, jump on the waggin’ and join the photo challenge. You can either join the challenge using the specified hashtags, #30DaysOfSummer & #KeepTheTailWagging or join the Keep The Tail Wagging Facebook page.
Today we are participating in the Monday Mischief Blog Hop, hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, and My Brown Newfies!
Wonderful! Love the photo! I think I will get in on this photo challenge, too!
Just followed you on Instagram. Follow us, too, please!

It has taken a lot of effort go back to school… but so worth it. I can totally see it in my pictures, but it does help having a good model…. she knows what to do when any type of camera comes out!
That’s a cute shot of Riley, I like photo challenges too, they are fun.
Thanks… you can now see her eyes after her grooming today! Hopefully I’ll be able to capture one of her conquering the teeter this month!
30 days of summer is awesome! We hope to see your future posts. – Petnetio Anu
Thanks!! So glad you can come on this little journey this month with us, it should be a lot of fun!
Good luck with your challenge.
Thanks it should be a lot of fun!!
This looks like such a fun challenge, but I have to many other things this month and can’t commit to photos every day. Mom is jealous of you going to school for photography. She would love to do that! Don’t worry if you blog is in a funk, it will all flow again. Sometimes you just need a break or inspiration to get going. BlogPaws can almost provide too much information so you don’t know what to do next.

Thanks so much… it does make me feel better. Funny thing is I have already been planning my trip to the next Blogpaws, cross country trip! Already shopping for a 5th wheel!! lol Now I just need to start writing again 🙂
I saw Kimberly post this on BlogPaws and have joined as well! But I didn’t ever see the image with all the daily themes, so that will come in handy. Good thing my first photo was of course of the dog!
yeah!!! Don’t forget if you can to visit Keep the Tail Wagging Facebook page to share your photo also 🙂 Kimberly will have a daily post you can add your daily pic to 🙂
I’ve felt a little “slumpy” since BlogPaws, too, due in some part to bronchitis that I’m just now getting over. I love photography, too! As a matter of fact, I had the thought after BlogPaws that I’m not a blogger—I’m a photographer. I don’t think you have to be one or another, though. It was so good to meet you and Riley at BlogPaws. I look forward to seeing your June photos.
I think there were a few factors… but hopefully this challenge will help me be a little more inspired….I am also in the process of de-cluttering my house so I feel more relaxed to write 🙂
