Wow – this was really hard. That’s my excuse for posting this on the late side. But I did take some pains, and felt some, too, to choose posts that resonated and that I thought would be worth your time. Here they are, my top 10 2010 favorite dog blog posts in no particular order:
A Fearful Dog Speaks Kevin Myers, Dog Lover’s Digest
Kim Clune’s Alaska: Ketchikan Misty Fjords Kim Clune, This One Wild Life
Is “Pack” A Four-Letter Word? Deborah Flick, Boulder Dog
No, Pit Bulls Aren’t Perfect, Are You? Edie Jarolim, Will My Dog Hate Me?
Danish Hovawart Puppy Mill Active Again Kenzo, The Hovawart
The economy of incentives and the surprising science of motivation Debbie Jacobs, Fearful Dogs
Real Man’s Guide: Using Positive Reinforcement to Stop Behavior Eric Goebelbecker, Dog Spelled Forward

Wait…uh, wait…I still have Brent Toellner, Christie Keith, Lorie Huston, Hilary Lane and Leslie Fisher, but I’m out of numbers! Well, I am a rule breaker, and as Shawn Finch has said – another one I’d like to include here – a “troublestarter”. (Shawn and Lorie, and both Vets, have guest posts here, one on debarking, the other on diabetes, both great!) There was also a thoughtful post on cancer by Jana Rade that talked about healing from the inside, and some very entertaining posts from Karen Friesecke. There are many others like Janet Tobiassen Crosby, Roxanne Hawn, Peggy Frezon, Dr V…maybe I should have done a “Top 25″ but then I will have all these new people I’ll be finding through your lists…I can see where this is going to get a litte complicated next year!
Happy New Year’s Eve! Have fun and stay safe:)
