It's All About ME!

Hey everybody!  Brutus at the keyboard today!  

After a busy few weeks we have some downtime here before all the chaos of the holidays goes into full swing.  One thing that mom & I like to do is cuddle up on the couch with a blankie and a good book.  I'm always up for that, but recently mom had a special surprise for me.  We read the BEST book EVER!!!  Allow me to explain...


A few weeks ago mom spent a bunch of time on messing around on the 'puter.  Well, she does that a lot, actually...  Anyhoo, she was on this website that takes your bloggie and makes it into your very own book!  

You can't judge a book by it's cover, but with that handsome guy on the front it's GOT to be good!!

 OMD - I'm published!  A real hard-cover book, all about ME!!  Well, what are we waiting for - let's crack this baby open!! 

Sweet!  A dedication!!
Wow, mom.  That means a lot...  I hope you all will biggify that photo above to see what nice things she said about me.  I'd totally be blushing right now if you could see through my shiny black furs!!

Look at that!  I'm on every page!!
So this place called Blog 2 Print took everything we've posted - text, photos, captions, even the comments from our furiends - and put it in a form we can put your paws on.  Mom says it's a momento she'll always have even if Blogger goes *poof* someday.  Besides, if our internet connection goes down some day, we can just pull out the book to keep us busy until the cable company gets it fixed!

It's a real page-turner, I'm telling you!
Our blog tends to have a lot of photos on it, and there is a limit to how many you can put into the book.  So we call this book "Volume One" - it encompasses the first 8 months of what we've posted.  I think we might have something that resembles Encyclopedia Brittanica by the time we catch up to where we are now!


That's the back cover, where mom put what she says is one of her all time favorite pictures of me (how can you not be impressed by a bulldog flying, after all?).  I have to say, it's a quality production all-around; glossy pages, crisp print & sharp photos, nice binding, a substantial piece of work for sure!


It's like having my very own yearbook!  I can't wait to see how Volume Two turns out!!

Read it & weep, Carmen!
So if any of my friends would like your very own hard copy of our bloggie, I'm available for pawtigraphs.  Or better yet, go to Blog2Print.com and have your human get one starring you!



Wonder if I'll make the New York Times bestseller list....

How cool, Brutus! You sure have a photogenic face that is just perfect for that book! I'm sure it includes one of my favorite posts (ok, I like your agility posts, too) -- comparing you to the Dragon! You are indeed a little goblin! Oh, and I think it's so great of you to share your new header with Carmen. You're such a good big brother and I can't wait to read of your further adventures!

Wow, Brutus! That is one of the neatest things I ever, ever saw! I luvs that they put the comments in there, too. Cuz I thinks the comments from furends are one of the best parts of having a bloggie!

We visited that blog to print place a while ago, but when momma found out how much it would cost she almost fainted. I told her to just choose my most favorite posts, but she had a hard time with that. Glad you got published. What they need is a subscription service that automatically makes a book every so many posts so then it isn't a ton of money all at once.

Slobbers,
