Whoo. I’ve been doing this blog for two and a half years now, daily, with very few breaks (and only one that I recall longer than one day). What with one thing and another, I’m getting a little burnt out on it right now. I had sort of been hoping to get Autumn to do some contributing, so that I could take time off now and again, but she’s made it pretty clear she isn’t interested in the writing it would entail. Maybe I can find someone else to spell me for a while, when things get especially hairy, as they did in the last two weeks.
They’re a little saner now, thank goodness. And I’ve heard tell that once you take a week off blogging, you might as well give up, since you lose half your audience every two days, so I’m going to persevere, at least for now. I can’t afford to lose any of you people! (Well, anyway, I don’t want to.)
So I’d like to introduce Rollz, the six-month-old miniature shar pei puppy. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a miniature shar pei, but from available evidence I’d say that there probably is, and she’s it!
That's Autumn, introducing herself.
Pretty cute, and not (yet) as 'Rollz-y' as most shar peis I've met.
I like her. She has a very expressive face.
Lose half your audience every two days?? Yikes!
Then just make sure to post every other day, every 48 hours. It doesn’t have to be the DAILY Dogs of SF, after all. 😉
Going to M/W/F has helped me feel less burnt out, I think… already burnt out enough of other things in my life! I am still frequently tempted to post more than that, but if you force yourself to cut back and schedule things instead, it seems to work out…
I am going to hang onto the daily posting for a while and see what happens, but I may just go down that path, if I start getting more burnt out than I currently am. (Last week was kind of a one-time thing, with lots and lots of stresses all coming to a head at once.)
Every day, every other day, whichever way you decide to go, I hope you know this site brings lots of joy to many readers. Great photographs, fun scroll overs – thanks for all your work!
Thank you! It’s always good to hear that people are actually reading… and have found the little secret messages in the mouseover popups. 🙂
