March 19, 2026 was the 13th anniversary of my first post on the Wandering Dawgs blog. I started the blog in 2013 as a way to keep friends and family up to date on our RV journey from Georgia to Alaska and back. When I started the blog I never dreamed I would make blogging friends from all around the world!
I enjoyed keeping up the blog even after we returned from our Alaska adventure. For several years I mostly posted about our RV travels before I expanded my focus to include posts about gardening, birds, wildlife, coastal Georgia, and other random things. I still post about our travels even though we don’t take the RV any more.
I started participating in photo challenges somewhere along the way. In 2025, I was honored and excited to be asked to be one of the hosts of the Lens-Artists team. To learn more about the Len-Artists challenges please click here.
Wandering Dawgs then and now:


Thank you to everyone who visits Wandering Dawgs. I really appreciate all the visits, likes, and comments over the years. I value each and every one of my blogging friends! Thank you for your kind words and encouragement through the years!
I just renewed Wandering Dawgs for another year. I hope to keep this up until I run out ideas and photos!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on 13 years of blogging, Beth! Its fascinating to watch our blogs morph into different reasons from which we began. I’m sure you would agree that photography became a huge new hobby for me as a result of blogging, as it likely did for you. Cheers to another fun year!

Thanks Terri! I never dreamed I would still be doing the blog this log. I agree, photography had a lot to do with me keeping up the blog. I’ve learned a lot of new things about photography and I have had fun blogging.

Beth, we seem to be running parallel lives. I started my blog as a photo journal for our cross-country trip in 2013. We traveled in our 5th Wheel for 3-months. When we returned, I kept blogging. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks Egidio! I hope you make it back one day! It took us nine years but we finally made it back to Alaska in 2022. The second time we flew to Anchorage and took a cruise! I would go back again in a heartbeat if it wasn’t so far away.

It’s interesting for me to go through my list of subscribers, and my list of blogs I follow, and see how many have disappeared for one reason or another. Congratulations on keeping on; it’s always great to follow someone who so obviously enjoys life, and enjoys reporting on it in one way or another!
