Shorty Awards a Tall Honor

When I first heard I was in the running for a Shorty Award, I had to do a double take paired with a “Who are you calling shorty?” However I’ve since learned that the Shorty Awards are quite the tall honor as the top dawgs in social media are recognized in their respective categories. Conan O’Brien, Neil Patrick Harris, Suze Orman and even Sesame Street’s, Grover, have received the honor. So I…

Super Bowl Brings Super Models to Super Dawg

Super Bowl season is officially upon as today, Jan. 27, 2012, Indianapolis, Ind. becomes “Super Indy” for the first time as host of the NFL’s Super Bowl XLVI. Although, I think I might have spoiled today’s fanfare with my appearance earlier in the week with a couple of highly sought-after dames. (I’m a dog, thus I can use that word in an endearing manner.)

After all, you can’t expect to pair…

America’s Dog Ready for Super Bowl XLVI

As the official mascot of Butler University, it’s only natural that I’m all-things Butler. As mascot, I’m a spokesdoggy, face, greeter, host, personality, leader and just all around ambassador for the university. Well, that’s how things started at least. Now, nearly eight years and two NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours later, I’ve added to my title and responsibilities as Butler’s Mascot,…

‘Down in the Valley’ – The Head and the Heart

The Head and the Heart; a couple of vital body parts and the name of a band that further proves Seattle’s reputation as one of the nation’s best music mills. These avid mic night participants formed in 2009 to create a sound that has been dubbed, indie folk-pop. I call it Americana and this Dawg digs it.

Their freshman album, “The Head and the Heart,” which debuted in 2010, is still kicking out…

Giving the People What they Want

More Blue II. That seems to be what the people want and well, I’m happy to give it to them. I am just one dog, but that hasn’t slowed me down and in fact, with the launch of my new website this week, I’m only picking up steam.

My new site went live on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012 at 8:30 AM. That first day the site took on 1, 300 visits! Coincidentally enough, I also surpassed 8,000 followers on…

New Website Offers True HOMEpage

I’m all over the World Wide Web. In fact, my online social networking portfolio rivals that of most humans. Yet, one thing I have always lacked was a true online home, a la website. Well, now that has changed as today I’m proud to announce the launch of my brand new website, Butler.edu/Blue2.
Note: My site is best viewed in Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. The site gets a little lost in…

Summoning the Tooth Fairy

As you may have heard via my other social networking outlets, I had a little dental work done this past week. Now, I know what your thinking and no, I didn’t see the orthodontist for my trademark lower teeth. Instead, I went in for what I thought was to be a root canal on one of my upper fangs and much to my surprise, came away one tooth lighter. Oh, Tooth Fairy…pay up!

While my teeth may…
