Post number 1000 Celebration and Sale
Post number 1000 Celebration and Sale
Today is post number 1000 for this blog. I happened to glance at the post count the other day, and Wow, it just doesn’t seem possible.
I started this blog 4 1/2 years ago as Roxy the traveling dog. I really had no idea what a blog was. I had never read a blog, never mind writing one. But I wanted to find a fun way to talk about Al and his art, and hopefully connect with people. It quickly evolved into more of a dog blog though. It was easy to join the pet blogging community and I met some wonderful people, made good friends, and had great opportunities with different brands. I also learned a ton about blogging. You can find my very first post here. All I can say is, “You’ve come a long way baby.”
This time last year I decided to re-brand to Tales from the back road. I wanted more space to talk about our travels, our art, basically our life I suppose. Doing that opened up even more doors. I have met a whole new range of people, and made some fabulous new blog friends. The dogs are a huge part of my life, and will always be a part of this blog. But taking my photography more seriously, as in selling it here and at shows, plus talking about Al’s art, is more where I need to be. And it has been especially fun to have everyone following along on our crazy traveling life.
So in honor of post number 1000, and to thank everyone for being a part of this, I decided to have a sale.
For the next 7 days all photo prints will be 25% off and any framed art will include free shipping.
Please do not use the coupon code if ordering framed art. I have reduced the price on the framed photos to reflect free shipping.
Go to Mary Hone photography, or navigate with the drop down menu in the bar above.
At checkout, simply use the code 1000POSTSALE and the discount will be applied to your order of prints.
Taryn from A tail of two Cardis purchased a framed photo, and wrote a very nice blog post about it. You should check it out here. I love a happy customer.
I want to thank everyone for being a part of this blog. All the friends and followers certainly make this a fun and enjoyable journey.
Congratulations on your 1000th post! Wow. And we love your beautiful art and the changes in your blog. Way to go.
Wag on,
Tootsie & Renee
GOOD MORNING MARY! Congratulations for this milestone! And your photos really are iconic images. Blogging really does take us on a journey, doesn’t it? And Roxy paved the way. So many ideas start us on this trip we take and we then find ourselves needing to explore and express. I am so glad we found each other. You light up my day.
Now, I’m off this morning to take a flight to Carmel, California. See you on IG! Anita
Congrats Mary! I haven’t been around for several weeks – just too much going on here – but I just had to congratulate you on your milestone post. Hope all is well with you and the gang. :)
Congrats on your blogpost number 1000. Well done :)
Congrats on your 1000th post! Not an easy thing to do! It has been great to watch things change for you and of course I’m a HUGE fan of your work!
You have come a long way. You’ve pushed the envelope. CONGRADULATIONS! Its not a great morning when I don’t get to sit down and read you’re blog with a cup of coffee or tea. I need to order some note cards with your photos on them. Its sad that I’m completely out; but they were wonderful to send out to special people so they would have a card they could keep or frame. They had bruises on them from holding on to tight when I had to part with a few favorites I was keeping for my self.
1000 posts, a milestone! Congratulations, Mary! Beautiful photos. :)
Huge Congratulations to you!!!!!! I sure know how hard that is to accomplish! Here’s to many, many more!

Congratulations on 1000 posts. Isn’t it amazing how we all started out. We didn’t even know there were dog blogs, thought we would be alone, but not really how it turned out. Looks like Taryn got the fun frame with the keys!
Congratulations on your 1000 post! That’s so exciting! I really enjoy your stories and photography!
1,000 posts is truly amazing! I am so glad you discovered blogging. Reading your stories and your photo eye candy is a real treat.
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations – 1,000 posts in four years – wow, that’s quite an accomplishment – prompted me to go look at our number!
Congratulations on 1000 posts! That is impressive. I think that blogs sometimes evolve into different things than what they started as, and yours has made a natural progression. I love nature as much as I love dogs, so for me your blog is still perfect!
