The most popular story is still Mr. Mouse, with nearly 4000 pageviews, next is the Rescue, followed closely by My Dog Is Getting Old. The overheard conversation, For Dog Lovers Only, is right up there.

Some of our personal favorite stories are

  9. That's great Patience! But as a long time reader, it does not surprise me at all! As I told you in my first ever comment, you are a very gifted and talented writer!

    I feel I MUST have the poop candle. It would be nice to pick up a piece of poop that is not quite so,um,poopy scented. (Tell me this is so and they didn't give it poop scent! hah)

    I finally started a blog myself. In today's post, a whippet (well, my grandog) leads Sunny, my Standard Poodle, astray. And it seems to be escalating!

    Hugs all around
    Sunny, Scooter and Jamie (the frazzled human bean)

    Keep up the great work. The dogs really do deserve a nap.
