merkal2005: Hi Johann, please tell us about yourself. You must be a lucky dog. How is your life going?

JohannTheDog: I am a lucky dog! My life is really great. I have great friends, I have my Mum and my BC sis Gracie, and kittie bros, Wolfie and Wiggy.

We work from home, helping Mum with my website and blogs, training for agility, learning new tricks, helping raise money for pups in shelters, and do what we can for the environment.

I'm also an accomplished agility dog with over 20 titles to my name. I also am a 2007 Cynosport World Games qualifier in agility in the Grand Prix and Steeplechase.


merkal2005: When did you start blogging?What is your motivation to write?

JohannTheDog: I started blogging very soon after my Mum adopted me at 12 weeks, back in 2004.

My motivation is to share info for all pups about agility and all kinds of things that affect their life, and, of course, to make great friends.


merkal2005: How do you help pups in need?

JohannTheDog: I have a blog called 'Rescue Me' where I feature a pup in need every day in hopes that it will help get them the notice they need to find their furever home. I also donate 10% of the profits of income from my website - www.johannthedog.com and blogs - to dog shelters and rescues.


merkal2005: What are your expectations from year 2008? What are your goals? What do you suggest new bloggers?

JohannTheDog: The thing I like about blogging the most is meeting and sharing info with new friends. It is my hope that in the year 2008 I make many more friends, help more pups in need and bring even more info to the blogosphere that help pups have a healthier, happier life with their two-leggers.

I also would like to qualify for the 2008 Cynosport World Games and AKC Nationals in agility this next year. Paws crossed!

My suggestion for new bloggers? Have fun!!!!
