About Us

Hi, I’m Paris Permenter, and I’m the founder of Doodlebug Publishing.

I’m the co-author of 35 guidebooks and pet books along with my husband, John Bigley. Through the years, we’ve written many guides for destinations ranging from the Caribbean to Cyprus, Texas to Trinidad. In 2008, we transitioned from travel writing to pet writing, launching our blogs, DogTipper, CatTipper and BirdTipper.

We live in the country just outside of Austin, Texas, surrounded by a bird preserve for the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler, along with our dogs Barli and Isla and our cats Inca, Jetty and Lucky.

Doodlebug Publishing brings together our interests in pets, travel and the outdoors in way that helps promote relaxation and fun.
