Introduce yourself:
My mom, Carol Bryant, blogs on FidoseofReality.com and a bunch of other places, including BlogPaws, Pet360, and Dogster. She does the talking (and writing) but we all know I am her muse.
Name:
Dexter James Bryant
Age:
4
How you came into your parents lives:
My mom found me through Aine Cockers.
Why do you blog?
I love having the ability to provide instant information to fans and interact with (and many times meet) people who otherwise I might not have. Social media is a constant evolution and being able to disseminate information that dog parents can use, enjoy, and apply is my greatest reward.
What is your favorite post?
This would a tie between “Anatomy of a Grieving Dog Mom,” which you can find here: http://fidoseofreality.com/anatomy-of-a-grieving-dog-mom/ an”My Dog’s Getting Married and It’s for Charity…I Swear!” http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/dog-wedding-for-charity
What post do you like the least?
I honestly don’t dislike anything I have written. If I am bored, my readers are bored, so if I can’t give it my all I just won’t write it. I am not perfect, but I am a perfectionist.
What is your favorite thing about blogging?
I love the instant gratification and being able to share the info with my readers. You know, I’ve always felt that dogs are kids to me. I recently had my quote trademarked, which is: “my heart beats dog.” So when I decided to switch careers several years ago, I knew in my heart and gut that incorporating blogging into my life was a must.
I was hired by a dog magazine in order to increase their social media numbers and create a blog for them. As a result of the blog and presence on Twitter and Facebook, their numbers grew by the thousands within months. Under my blog management and leadership, we won a dog blogger award within one year of the blog’s formation. I am very proud of this.
Since moving on to bigger and brighter things, I formed my own canine-centric online magazine dog blog where dog lovers of the highest order unite™, Fidose of Reality. Not your ordinary dog lover blog: Fidose of Reality is all about extraordinary dog lovers.
I have always been a writer, so blogging was a natural evolution for me.
What to you dislike about blogging?
Spammers and freaks.
Sneak peek on future posts?:
I am announcing here first that my magazine style dog blog underwent a complete transformation. I am working on getting back end things organized, but the guts of the site are live. I am so excited!
What blogs to you read that you would like to share?
I read blogs both within pet and outside the pet world to stay current. I am an entertainment news and dog news junkie, but I read anywhere between 20 and 45 dogs a day. Grrr to Google Reader for going away in July.
What are you thoughts on spaying/neutering?
Yes, unless you are a breeder please do it. Unless you are a qualified and knowledgeable, don’t risk your dog’s health. Spaying and neutering is the only way to keep the numbers of loving pets who are euthanized needlessly every year. I wish we could spay and neuter abusers.
Anything else you want to add about you?
I am working on my first book and I love working in media. My dog has been on Oprah Radio’s Gayle King Show with me and we love traveling cross country together as a family. My dog is getting married on June 28th for one of the biggest fun fundraisers I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing. Oh and I love BlogPaws! Every one who is at all serious about blogging or microblogging needs to be there.
