Are you ready for BarkWorld?

Written by Rachel Phelps

Are you excited about BarkWorld yet!?!?  I can’t wait!  I’m counting down the days … only seventy days left.  Do you know how long that is in dog years … forever!  Anyway, if my last post didn’t convince you that you just HAVE to go  I’m going to try again.

First things first, the Early Bird Rate is about to expire! (OH NO!)  You have until this weekend to convince your rents they need to buy their tickets to get the discount.  The rate is only $129 and dogs (cats, ferrets, etc.) get in free!  Ok, we have to come with someone, but it is still a great deal!  Go here to get your ticket(s) now. http://barkworld2012.eventbrite.com/?ref=ecount

There are several lifestyle pet sessions that you will not want to miss including:

  • What’s Super Healthy and Has Six Legs –   In case your humans are a little slow, they aren’t talking about insects.  You and your humans have six legs total.  She will be discussing the growing human and pet obesity problem and how you and your dog can live a better life.
  • Agility, Your Dog, and Social Media – Is your dog involved in canine sports?  I am! Eukanuba is sponsoring this session and they are experts in doggie athletics.  I can’t wait to learn more!
  • Digital Scrapbooking for Pet Lovers – If your rents are anything like mine, they feel like they need to take photos of everything we do.  They even take those humiliating photos of us in the bathtub and post it all over Facebook (oh the shame!).  In this session they will learn how to take those photos and scrapbook them on their computer.

Another amazing event is the Charity HOWL-O-Ween Costume Party and Contest.  There will be celebrity judges, a photo booth, a red carpet, and prizes!  I can’t wait.  I am already planning my outfits now.  I am a regular in the costume contest circuit locally and I am proud to say I have won several times.  I am a force to be reckoned with … so you pets you better bring you’re A game and your best costumes!  Don’t worry, we will have a blast!  So why don’t you come to hang out with me at BarkWorld?!?!  Remember, the early bird rate is about to expire!  Get your ticket here: http://barkworld2012.eventbrite.com/?ref=ecount  See you in Atlanta soon!

  • Are you aware of any scholarships or sponsorships available to help attend BarkWorld? I would love to go, as I’ve never been to one..but the cost of travel, hotel, expenses is out of my budget at this time. I have been a sponsored pet blogger previously, so I have experience. I would be coming from Southern California – so it is a long trip. Thanks for any advice or help you can provide.

    • Contact Barkworld and ask about sponsorships or reach out to some of the sponsors directly (they are listed on their website). They may be looking for bloggers to help them at their events. But we will keep our ears open for you!
