Mutt Monday Shares Pet Blog Top Tens

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

This theme was definitely the toughest I have chosen yet for Mutt Monday. I had to make an executive decision to limit the (1) Weekly Wag entries, (2) nutrition information, as well as the (3) CGC Tips series. I enjoyed writing all of those posts so much that they are definitely among my favorites. 

I created this list based on my own preferences, not my traffic or your comments. Care to venture an opinion? I'm happy to hear what your faves are, as well as your thoughts on why any of these are not terribly useful for you personally. No worries about hurting my feelings. It's great to hear what you enjoy so feel free to share.

Bloggers are invited to link up their favorite Top 10 Posts from their own blogs as well. Please let others know what we're doing here and let's get more great listings for these readers who love to learn more about their life with dogs. Here's a Tweet to help get the word out. Just click!

Before I leave, I can't forget next week's theme. I'm dying to see some of your photos of furry friends in their Easter or Spring glamour. Do share!

Mutt Monday Goes Greener

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

We're here today to share ways to live a little more lightly on planet Earth: Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle with your dog. Bake your own healthy, organic treats, make homemade dog toys, choose recycled or Eco-friendly products, or seek out new places to find Earth friendly things for Fido. You've found the right place.

Today I'm asking bloggers to join in with their posts to offer you any help or ideas along this line. I hope you enjoy this theme and find something useful in these articles. Next week, watch for our new theme:

Top 10 Posts of 2012

I'm pretty sure I'll have a tough time sorting through all of last year's posts, but it's a great way for me to share some of my better tips and strategies for your life with your dog. Be sure to join us for this upcoming week's great offerings.

Last week I made an announcement. I'd like to help Mutt Monday become easier access for the bloggers who participate, giving more of them a chance to join in with their own posts. For this reason, Mutt Monday will now become a 24/7 event. The current week's event will open with a new theme on Monday at 12:01 AM and bloggers can link up anytime during the week.

Mutt Monday Loves Dog Books

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

More and more I'm seeing dog book reviews and dog book giveaways popping up in the pet blogging space. I'm reading a Chet and Bernie mystery right now and totally loving it. What's your current fave?

Today's blog hop is focused on book reviews and book giveaways--ones that are currently going on. Bloggers may feel free to link them up here and let's give all of our readers the opportunity to see what's up for grabs and learn more about a great read.

Now, on to next week...You know the mantra for green: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle? We'll, here at All Things Dog Blog we have tweaked this phrase to better suit pet owners. It is now Reuse, Repupose and Recycle, and this is our theme for next week. Same green idea, but more pet friendly, and that's what we are here--green and pet friendly. 

We're inviting bloggers to dig deep into their archives and share their "green dog" posts  along this theme next week:

Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle

And just a quick sneak preview of the following week. I always tell myself that I'm going to go through my archives and name my top 10 posts, but it never happens. Perhaps if I get ahead of myself and simply announce it, I'll be committed. Watch for "Top 10 Posts of 2102" on March 18. Join me?

Now let's make another announcement. I'd like to help Mutt Monday become easier access for the bloggers who participate, perhaps giving more of them a chance to join in with their own posts. For this reason, Mutt Monday will now become a 24/7 event. The current week's event will open with a new theme on Monday at 12:01 AM and bloggers can link up anytime during the week.
