Wow, all this awesome stuff seems to be happening to me lately! First I get a section in R4YL magazine and the next day I find out that 1 Fit Mutt won Best Dog Related Website of the Year at the 3rd annual Master Dog Breeders and Associates awards! This is pretty unbelievable. I was so excited to be nominated, but never actually expected to win, especially since 1 Fit Mutt is still such a new website and there were other really awesome and older sites nominated.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to be at the awards presentation in Sydney (and I’m jealous of everyone who was!), I so wish I could’ve made it. Thanks to everyone who’s visited the site, provided feedback and encouragement, and to the MDBA judges who reviewed and chose 1 Fit Mutt for the award. There is one main person who inspired me to actually take my dog fitness project idea and start building it and there is no way 1 Fit Mutt would even be here, much less be nominated for an MDBA award, without him. He probably won’t read this, but I really can’t thank him enough for inspiring me – his excitement was contagious and I’ll always be grateful.

Anyway, I’ve been working on some pretty big ideas for the site. The immediate task is to start get the 1 Fit Mutt dog fitness newsletter sorted out and send out the first installment. I’ve also gotten a few enquiries about laws regarding cycling with dogs and am planning on putting together an online tool telling people all about the laws of cycling with their dogs in their areas. Lots of research and hours involved in this one, but we’ll get there.

There are some even bigger plans in the works, but I don’t want to spill the beans too soon.
