Repeat Offenders
If you participated in the Challenge last year we can’t wait to see how things have changed for you in the past twelve months. Here are your eight questions:
1. Provide a link to your post from last year’s Pet Blogger Challenge so we can refresh our memories.

2. What do you consider the most important goals you set out in last year’s post?
Expanding my knowledge.
3. Have you made progress toward those goals, or have your goals changed over the past year?
My goals have changed. We adopted two puppies about the same time as last year's challenge and my focus completely turned around. I wish I could be someone who documents every step of our journey, but that doesn't seem to work for me...at least not in this format.
4. Has your opinion of blogging on a schedule or as the spirit moves you changed? Nope!
Which are you doing now? The same...as the spirit moves me.
Do you still worry about lost traffic, momentum, etc? Not anymore. My family and my dogs are my priorities and my blog is what it is.
5. Are you generating income from your blog? No.
Has this changed since last year? No.
If you are generating income, how (e.g. sponsor ads, affiliate relationships, spokesperson opportunities)?
If not currently, do you hope to in the future — and how? This is still a goal of mine. I have been asked to do a review or two and I really enjoyed that. I still don't know really how to go about this and I would still like to learn more.
6. Have your likes and dislikes about blogging changed since last year? Not really. I still love my blog as a forum for my thoughts and for accountability. I also always still want to know more about how to make my blog look more like what is in my head. I just am not there yet.
7. Overall, are you pleased with the progress you made in 2011? Not with my blog...with my dogs, with my family, with my job -- Yes.
8. How do you see your blog changing/growing in 2012? I am going to keep the same goals and add to it being more regular with posting. I love the idea of my blog being a legacy for my family. If that's what I want, I need to be sure to post.
Enjoy all the great blogs!!! This is one of my favorite days!!!

Having your blog be the legacy for your family is a great goal, but your success with your family and dogs is really something to be proud of. Good for you! And thanks for participating in the challenge. It's nice to get an idea of what people are hoping for in 2012.
I enjoyed visiting as part of the Pet Blogger Challenge. Thanks for letting me sniff around and for sharing all your thoughts!
Keep on wagging,

I love the idea of your blog as a legacy for your family - that's a great goal.
I really enjoy reading your posts as well and seeing how you and your furry family are doing. :)
Great to find you through the pet blogger challenge. I am a fan of positive reinforcement and enjoyed checking out your website! I'm Looking forward to seeing what's going on over at your blog in the future.
Thanks for taking part in the Challenge this year. It sounds like you have a clear sense of your priorities about blogging -- that's terrific.
Yes, it appears you really understand what's important. And by not letting your blog bully you, you're an encouragement for all of us who aren't nearly as well-balanced. :)
Hello! I'm belatedly stopping by on the challenge. It sounds like you've got your priorities right, but I hope you can also meet your goals in posting, too. Best of luck for 2012.
I never thought about having my blog as a legacy for my family. That's a great goal to strive for and something I think I'd like to add to my 2012 goals. Best of luck to you, your family, your dogs, and of course your blog in 2012!
