Yes, this is a new blog. No, I am not new to blogging. In fact, I used to be quite the dog blogger (you can read those old posts here<\/a>, for now), but the advent of Twitter made 140-character updates seem so much easier. After all, I had a lot on my plate, or bowl, as a dog that was in attendance for back-to-back NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Final Fours and making appearances everywhere in between. Simply put, Twitter was easier!<\/p>\n

Yet Twitter<\/a> hasn\u2019t been my only social media outlet over the years as I\u2019ve continued my presence on Facebook<\/a>, YouTube <\/a>and Ustream<\/a> while adding the likes of Flickr<\/a> and Foursquare<\/a> to my repertoire. However, my social networking portfolio seemed incomplete and it was a lack of blogging that created such a void.<\/p>\n

In all of my adventures, Final Fours included, I keep discovering that there are still times when it takes more than 140-characters to get a point across or to tell a good story. So I\u2019m back to blogging and happy to have you reading.<\/p>\n

Speaking of reading, you\u2019ll want to do plenty of that, as there are many great things on the horizon. Sure, consecutive Final Four appearances are certainly a highlight of my tenure as Butler University mascot, but I\u2019m not done yet and I don\u2019t plan on just riding off into the sunset.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll keep writing, you keep reading and together we\u2019ll keep backing our beloved Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Go Dawgs!<\/p>\n
