Welcome once more to My Nerdy Pet. I wanted to incorporate a blog into the website so that you could get to learn a bit more about us, our pets, and our lives.
I’d like to start off with why we started My Nerdy Pet. My husband and I have been attending a local anime/geek culture convention called Connecticon for about 10 years now. While there’s always cool stuff and a lot of great Fan Artists, we’ve come to that age where we really don’t have a desire for another cute plushie. Or room on the walls for comic inspired prints or figurines. I wanted something that I could show off. Something that I could share, so I thought “Hey my puppers is a nerd. Why not something for him?” So I went searching but alas there was nothing. Now don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of great Star Wars stuff at the big chain Pet stores but that’s about it. What about Zelda? What about Dr. Who?
At this same Con, I attended a panel hosted by some of my favorite people. The Super Art Fight guys (www.superartfight.com) are a fantastic group. Jamie, in particular, lead the panel entitled “Just F*ckin’ Do It.” The whole premise is to encourage others to do the project or pursue the dream that they’ve been thinking of. Want to start a web-comic? F*ckin’ do it! Want to learn guitar? F*ckin’ do it!
Want to start a nerdy pet company?
You see where this is going. I left that Con with the encouragement I needed. I certainly had the inspiration at home.
So this is where our story began.
