Meet & Greet Party Blog Hop with DogTipper / CatTipper

Our pals at DogTipper are hosting a meet and greet party of sorts to introduce their new CatTipper site (maybe we'll just call it a cattail party). And just like you would do at any party, Paris and John from DogTipper are asking all of us to introduce ourselves, share a little small talk, and then party hop on over to each other's sites!

Cosmo and Diane at BarkWorld Expo

So here goes... I'm Diane Silver, by profession a writer, public relations and social media consultant. I live in Atlanta with Cosmo Havanese, the inspiration behind To Dog With Love.

It actually all started a couple of years ago when I put Cosmo on Twitter as a little social media experiment. Next thing I knew we were part of an amazing community of pets and pet lovers, and helping raise funds and awareness for animal rescue organizations on Twitter.

I started To Dog With Love last July to provide a platform to share our adventures and stories about the fluffy side of life in more than 140 characters, including:

• Travel -- Cosmo's been to Italy twice now
• Agility -- the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat
• Products we love
• Reviews and giveaways
• Helping the animals who need it most

And now, to play a little party icebreaker game, here are some Little Known Facts  (LKF) about me and Cosmo.

About Diane

• Was a sports writer in Michigan, then a publicist during 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta
• Traveled the NASCAR circuit for 7ish years (for work, not as a groupie... not that there's anything wrong with that)
• Bought a backyard for Cosmo (with a modest house for me that I renovated)

Cosmo shares some love at BlogPaws 2010
