Are You A Nonprofit Techie, Working on a Social Media Strategy, and Love Dogs (or cats)? Need Your Help!

I'm working on a keynote for a nonprofits conference at the end of the month in Minnesota.  I'm going to explain on the Cute Dog Theory but I need some photographic evidence.  I need photos of nonprofit techies who do work in social media strategy and love dogs - need a photo of you with your dog.  That's Jonathon Coleman from the Nature Conservancy above, I know there must be others.

I also don't want to offend the cat lovers.   So, if you are cat lover, let me know that.

Here's what you need to do:

1.)  Leave a comment here -- include your name, organization, and web/blog url.  Also include a pointer to you with a photo of your dog (or cat).  Please also include your pet's name.  Also, if you're on Flickr, consider joining the NpTech Dog Group.

Thanks so much!

Photos coming in: Just a place to aggregate

Here's one more -- with The HSUS's Carie Lewis and her family's dog Sade, and me and Zoey: http://www.flickr.com/photos/humanesociety/1432762737/

These two dogs aren't only cute, they're also talented! They served as canine journalists for the day and reported on the Humane Society Walk for the Animals: http://www.hsus.org/pets/pets_related_news_and_events/dogs_view_walk_for_the_animals.html.

Oh I bet this is going to be a fun keynote! I hope you can share the presentation once you're done - I have trouble explaining this to my clients too.

Here is a shot of Windsor & I; feel free to use it if you like - he is pretty cute and willing to be a little famous:

Beth,

Hoping to connect with you at the N-Ten conference this week in NO. We are a Convio partner and we build out private label social media platforms for NPO's and Associations. Anyway, your blog is linked to from the Convio Connection Cafe Blog that is being launched March 19th in NO. We also built and host the pet site www.wagnbrag.com for Scripps Newspapers. I think you'll like it. Hope to see you in the Big Easy!

Here's a couple of me and my dog Cami. I got her when I was volunteering at an animal shelter; she was the cutest puppy I'd ever seen (and I'd seen a lot of puppies by then). She's still adorable ;-)
