Blog-aversary #4 – Help Me Pick One Post
Today, April 13, 2011, marks the FOURTH anniversary of Champion of My Heart. Forget “dog years,” I believe this makes us downright ancient in blog years. As part of our celebration, I’m writing to ask for your help. Happy Tails Books, owned and operated by Be the Change Royalty Kyla Duffy, invited me and Lilly to share ONE best-of blog post in a book of stories by top pet bloggers (a charity project). And, I cannot decide which of our many posts to pick, polish, and submit.
We have more than 1,000 posts at this point from which to choose. So, among all our adventures dating back four years, which one do you think makes the short list of BEST?
Best Dog Blog Posts: Champion of My Heart
I suppose the stories of our ups and downs fall into a few broad categories:
- Dog training successes
- Dog training failures
- Full-blown dog adventures
- Scary dog emergencies
- Reflective posts about life lessons
Well, I suspect rants count as memorable posts too, but I doubt Kyla wants a rant in her book.
Best Dog Blog Posts: The Big Ones
Because it garnered so much dog blog traffic and other social media attention, I’m tempted to choose this recent and popular post:
5 Ways a Fearful Dog Improves Your Life
But, there are many other options, including:
Lilly’s first rattlesnake bite, Lilly’s second rattlesnake bite, and the time Ginko saved Lilly from her third rattlesnake bite
Lilly and the Technicolor Vomit from December 2010
The one and only time Lilly ran the full-sized, agility competition teeter-totter
Our successes with canine anxiety medications and the Relaxation Protocol
Best Dog Blog Posts: The Poll
You are certainly welcome to advise us and nominate specific stories for this book project via comments to this blog post, but we also created a little one-question poll to narrow down the kind of posts to consider.
