We made it! Time to find out which blog is the top canine blog! That’s best today we reveal the top 10 canine blogs and in David Letterman fashion we start off with blog #10 concluding with our number 1 canine blog of the year.
We’ve been following some of our top ten canine blogs for 5 or much more years and some of the others we discovered as recently as the past few months. They all have one thing in common and that is we absolutely love the content they are generating.
Just in case you haven’t seen our past top canine blog articles here’s an explanation of some of the stats we used to find our top canine blog:
Top 50 canine blogs – 1-10
In case you’re wondering about the strange numbers in the boxes below each blog screen shot here are some definitions:
Compete distinct visitors – an estimate of how numerous visitors each site receives per month.
Alexa rank – ranks sites by the number of visitors and pageviews they receive.
Google page rank – is mostly based upon the numer and quality of backlinks to a webpage.
Facebook “Likes” – the number of people who “like” the blogs accompanying Facebook Fanpage.
Twitter followers – the number of people following the blogs accompanying Twitter Account.
D.O.B. – the date or approximate date the domain name was registered.

Unfortunately, I don’t have very amazing programming skills so these numbers are just a snapshot at the time I put together this post, but it ought to give you a good approximation of the current numbers. We start off with our #10 canine blog and we look no even more than one of our favorite celebrity canine trainers, Victoria Stillwell.
TOP canine blog #10 – Victoria Stillwell’s Blog

What they have to say:“She is best known for her role as the star of animal Planet’s hit TV series It’s Me or the Dog, through which she is able to share her insight and passion for positive reinforcement canine training by taming some of the world’s many unruly animals as she counsels families on their pet problems. She also served as a judge on CBS’s greatest American Dog.”
What we have to say: If you asked a canine lover to name two well-known canine trainers the first would probably be Cesar Millan and the second just might Victoria Stillwell from the hit TV show “It’s Me or the Dog.” We had to include at least one if not both of these two well-known canine trainers on our top canine blog list, but sadly we couldn’t find a Cesar blog. However, Victoria had a fantastic blog that includes not only her own musings, but articles from other expert trainers as well.
TOP canine blog #9 – Pawluxury

What they have to say: “eco-living for the everyday canine – We offer eco-friendly, organic, natural canine products made in the USA.”
What we have to say: The Pawluxury blog is one of those blogs that I used to come to and read practically religiously. It’s actually a companion blog to their ecommerce site where they offer luxury, high-quality, durable, holistic and earth-friendly products for the everyday canine and their owners. I just wish they would get back to updating the blog. We highly recommend you sift throught some of their blog articles. However, you will not see them on this list again next year if we don’t start seeing some new blog messages soon. We are big fans of the environmentally friendly canine blogger and that is one of our favorite parts about pawluxury as well as another one of our favorites blog #30 raise A green Dog!
TOP canine blog #8 – The three canine Blog

What they have to say: “This site is all about our lives with the dogs. It will be a reasonable insight into the ups and downs of canine ownership and the joys and sorrows that choose it. in some cases challenging, in some cases thought provoking but hopefully many typically fun.”

What we have to say: another one of our all time favorite blogs that has slowed quite a bit recently. again we’d like to see much more articles or the three canine blog may also be in danger of falling off our top canine blog list. However, there numerous terrific articles if you sift through the content or you might just try searching their content by using the search box in the upper best corner. We have seen some recent changes to the blog design so possibly we will see a flood of new content soon. We’re keeping our fingers crossed. One thing we really like…we finally caught up to the three canine blog with Stetson, Linus, and Dublin we are now also three canine bloggers!
TOP canine blog #7 – Ask Spike Online

What they have to say: “Hello! I am Spike, and I write Ask Spike Onlinullnull

As a guide pet dog puppy sitter and raiser I deal with the exact same as well as new difficulties with each puppy. I’m regularly reminded of lessons as well as puppy training tips I learned over the years.
Ever considering that we dropped Apache off at guide pet dog college to begin his “formal” education Linus, Stetson, as well as I feel like we’ve been non-stop puppy sitters.  If only it was a paying gig we’d be rich!!!
We like volunteering our time to assist out the community.  In the past we utilized to volunteer with a number of non-profit organizations including habitat For Humanity, working Wardrobes, as well as the special Olympics.  More just recently we made a decision we wished to assist dogs/puppies as well as began fostering homeless dogs as well as pups for one of our regional animal rescues.
Puppy Sitter For guide Dogs of America
That brings us to our present volunteer activity as guide pet dog puppy raisers.  We like being puppy raisers!  We get the chance to bring house future guide pet dog pups at around 7 weeks of age as well as train them in fundamental obedience, socialization, as well as great home manners up until they are around 18 months old.

Yes, it is tough to provide them up after putting so much time, effort, as well as like into them, however it’s all worth it knowing that our pups will step on to assist a visually impaired person regain their independence.
That brings us to the past weeks task as guide pet dog puppy sitters:
#1 Tasha – A 4 Month Old Yellow Labrador Retriever
Last Tuesday we helped puppy sit little Tasha at our group meeting.  Tasha was a little bit restless as well as anxious at the meeting.  So we worked with Tasha so her handler might have a little break as well as go over our puppy raiser manual with a few of our other puppy raisers.  At 4 months old Tasha is extremely mouthy as her adult teeth are coming in.
Tasha getting tubed at Puppy Kindergarten…Brea watches…PUPPY training idea #1: If you have a mouthy puppy make sure you get great deals of different textured pet dog toys including KONG’s, pressed rawhides, plush toys, nylabones, etc.  When your pup bites down on your hand slowly eliminate your hand as well as replace with one of the toys as well as let them chew on the toy rather than your body part.

A second thing that you can try is utilizing Bitter Apple Spray (affiliate link).  Spray a little bit on your hand as well as let your puppy put his mouth on your hand.  Most pups truly don’t like the taste of the Bitter Apple Spray as well as will ultimately discover not to bite your hands.
#2 Treacle – A 13 Month Old Black Labrador Retriever
Next up was Treacle!  Treacle had a 2 day stay with us so she might work on mingling with other dogs (Stetson as well as Linus).  She did excellent as well as had a little bit of play time with her new friend Linus.  We likewise took a great long walk on the golf course, went to lunch together, as well as lastly got to enjoy an awesome roller hockey game!  Go team NDENSUM!
Treacle was extremely great with our dogs as well as played like a lady.  However, we have heard she often isn’t so lady-like as well as can be extremely rough during her play time. So we at first introduced her to Linus as well as Stetson on leash, however soon discovered out she did just also interacting with the kids off leash.

Treacle, guide pet dog pup as well as golfer!PUPPY training idea #2: Does your puppy play as well rough with your older dog?  Try keeping your puppy on leash when he is interacting with your older pet dog that method you can much better control any type of inappropriate behavior.
#3 Sable – A 15 Month Old German Shepherd Dog
Finally, the past 2 days we enjoyed Sable.  There are extremely few German Shepherd Dogs in our guide pet dog program so we felt extremely lucky that we had the chance to enjoy Sable.  German Shepherds as well as Labrador Retrievers are extremely different breeds.  Lucky for us we had great deals of experience with German Shepherds when we were fostering puppies.
Sable was a extremely great girl, however the only genuine issue we had was having her “get busy”.  She refused to potty!  It took her almost 24 hours before she agreed to make #1 as well as #2 while she was in our care.  It was extremely similar to when we took Linus camping.  He would not potty in the dirt (he was utilized to going on the grass).  Again it took over 24 hours to lastly get him to potty on the dirt.

Sable providing us a great down-stay with the little head tilt…PUPPY training idea #3: Make sure you train your puppy to potty on all different surfaces.  You never understand when you’ll want him to go potty somewhere other than the grass.  Guide dogs travel anywhere with their handlers as well as requirement to potty on command anytime, annull

I’ve heard of medication sniffing dogs as well as I’ve really been believing about enrolling Stetson, my black lab, in a Scent tracking – Nose works canine training class. Afterall, we like to phone call Stetson Mr. Sniffers as he seems to be tracking all the dogs in the neighborhood.
I started to do my typical research study as well as came across some unusual canine careers as well as believed to myself perhaps Derby might put that canine nose to great utilize as well as modification careers to a canine sniffer.  The only issue is Derby has difficulty focusing as well as most likely would have problems as a licensed sniffer.
Sniffing Dogs
Anyhow, back to canine sniffers…dog’s have excellent noses as well as as discussed earlier they can work with authorities officers as medication sniffing dogs.  However, did you understand they can likewise sniff out a DVD?  right here are a few other unusual as well as not so unusual things a canine can sniff out:
DVD’s
Explosives
Cancer
Accelerant, Flammable Liquid, Lighter fluid – Arson Dogs
Underwater drowning victims
Cadavers
Missing People

DVD Sniffing Dogs
DVD Sniffer dogs now…that just seems crazy.  exactly how can a canine discover a DVD? as well as even if it did, exactly how would the canine understand if that DVD was a pirated copy?
First of all a canine can be trained to sniff out the polycarbonate utilized in DVD’s.  However, as discussed in the Wired article: “The dogs cannot decipher the difference between pirated as well as authentic DVDs.” The short article does mention: “…Some day, he may be able to train his dogs to alert on subtle chemical differences between authorized DVDs as well as the less expensive knockoffs created by crooks.” now that would be amazing. then once again the recent Oprah short article states that “the typical canine can find scents 10,000 to 100,000 times much better than the typical human.”
Cancer Sniffing Dogs
A second short article I checked out today was on cancer Sniffing Dogs which led to my earlier statement about Derby as well as a possible profession in sniffing.

The canine in this story named Tessy was destined to be a guide Dog…just like Derby.  However, her plans were sidetracked when an infection left her blind in one eye ending any type of possibilities for a profession as a guide Dog.  lucky for Tessy she still had her nose leading her to her second profession as an Ovarian cancer Sniffing Dog.
How does it work?  Tumors release small amounts of chemicals different than those of healthy tissue.   It is this subtle difference that a canine can detect.
Check out the entire short article on Dogs who Can Sniff Out Cancer.
Stetson aka “Mr. Sniffers”
Some of our good friends including Nexxus as well as Nadia are already taking scenting classes as well as we believe that Stetson would delight in a sniffing profession of his own.  ideally this summertime we can enroll Mr Sniffers in training as well as see if he has the stuff to be a true scenting dog.  I’ll keep everybody informed as well as do my finest to chronicle his journey in the world of sniffing!

Do you understand of any type of unual canine careers?  have you taken your canine to scenting class?  I’d like to hear about it in the coments below.

I don’t typically re-read books, but there are a few cat books that have left such an impression on me, I periodically re-read them. I recently picked up Gwen Coopers’ love saves the Day, and I thought it was time to share it with you again. This is one of a handful of special books that don’t come along very often.

Love saves the Day is a novel written from three points of view. The primary narrator is Prudence, a brown tabby rescued from a deserted construction site on Manhattan’s lower east Side. Prudence is a keen observer of humans and knows them better than they know themselves at times. Gwen’s love for cats and understanding of their nature and emotional lives, tempered with a sense of humor, is apparent throughout the book.

Loves saves the Day begins when one day Sarah, Prudence’s human, doesn’t come home from work. Prudence’s world falls apart. For a few days, a neighbor feeds her, then Sarah’s daughter Laura, who hardly ever concerned visit, arrives with her husband. Suddenly, Prudence finds herself living in an unfamiliar house with two humans who she barely knows, and who don’t seem to understand cats.

Prudence spends many of her days near the boxes with Sarah’s things in a spare bedroom in the new apartment, grieving for Sarah, trying to hang on to her memories and find comfort by being close to the things that still smell like Sarah. Meanwhile, Laura tries to push away anything that reminds her of her mother and her childhood spent in the midst of the lower east Side music scene of the 1970s. told from the three alternating points of view – Prudence’s, Laura’s and Sarah’s – the past of a troubled mother-daughter relationship is revealed, culminating in one defining moment that changes the trajectory of everyone’s lives.

Gwen presents a lot of different topics in this novel: the heartbreaking issue of what happens to animals when their humans die, the music scene of the 1970s in lower Manhattan, the real life event of a building on the lower east Side that was demolished in 1998 and plays a critical role in the story, and a complicated mother daughter relationship that crosses several decades. Cooper weaves all  of these threads into a beautiful, cohesive whole.

This hauntingly stunning story about grief, hope and healing touched me just as much this time as it has every other time I’ve read this book. This is a book that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Love saves the Day is available from Amazon.

By Daryl Conner
June 1, 2020
It all started out with one innocent comment made by a customer. She has a prominent restaurant, as well as she, my employee/daughter as well as I were talking about one more popular regional eatery. Our client quipped that the chef at the location we were discussing, “Wears pearls as well as heels to cook. It’s a bit much.” 

My child as well as I made eye contact, as well as you might practically see the animation bubble over our heads, featuring strands of pearls. We never entertained the believed of heels—we’re not that crazy. 

Over the years we have worked together, we have produced a uniform that we both discover to be comfortable, lovely as well as expert looking. It is part of our brand. Our uniform is black, easy as well as kind to our curvaceous figures. The concept of using pearls seemed like frosting on the cake for our small, upscale studio. 

To our surprise as well as delight, numerous clients discovered the modification best away. We were amused to find that if we are slacking as well as fail to remember to put the pearls on now, they comment on it. They have come to expect pearls as part of our service.

This distinct bit add–on to our look got me to believing about exactly how groomers can as well as ought to produce their own personal brand. around the country, groomers are working at different outlets, as well as not truly focusing on their careers. many work at a beauty salon for a few years, then hop to another, or perhaps open their own place, however not truly relocation upwards in a meaningful way. What if you want to make a name for yourself, as well as go after the type of grooming you delight in the most? 

I created a fictional groomer to show some methods you may do just that. I named her Annie. let me introduce you… 

Annie went to grooming institution as well as was hired by a regional grooming beauty salon when she graduated. She liked grooming, particularly sporting breeds, as well as began to checked out whatever she might about them. She went to canine shows, asked concerns of handlers as well as breeders, as well as purchased herself an English Cocker puppy so she might method to her heart’s content. She took some personal lessons, went to some seminars, as well as instead of viewing TV at night, took on the internet classes with some experts she respected. She sought out sporting breed accreditation as well as was happy to hang her certificate on the wall. then she as well as her cocker competed at a grooming show as well as were in the ribbons. 

Annie was loving her work as well as was building a moderate complying with of sporting breed owners, however she was likewise shaving a great deal of once–a–year dogs as well as having a hard time with huge breeds that weighed much more than she did. She was making sufficient money to pay her bills, however there wasn’t a great deal extra. She didn’t understand what to do to take fee of her career. 

Then Annie realized that no matter if she helped somebody else or was self–employed, this was her grooming career. It was as much as her to choose what to finish with it. She might keep on as she was, as well as in five years, be essentially in the exact same position. Or, she might take charge, set herself aside from the competition, as well as put herself in the setting to make much more as well as have a much better time doing it. 

Annie top quality herself. She altered from being a happy canine groomer as well as ended up being a “Sporting Breed Specialist.” She selected a logo as well as a color scheme, as well as purchased trendy grooming jackets with her name, her new title as well as logo clearly embroidered on them. She purchased upscale company cards in free colors, with the exact same eye–catching logo as well as title. 

Annie started on the internet galleries on Facebook as well as Instagram featuring gorgeous pictures of the animals she groomed, as well as published useful hints on sporting breed coat care for pet owners. The jacket she used when she was not working had her logo as well as title embroidered boldly on it, as did the adorable sphere cap she used when she was walking her canine at the park. Her vehicle had stylish silhouettes of sporting breeds embellishing the rear windshield as well as people frequently asked her about them, providing her a possibility to discuss her enthusiasm as well as hand them a card. 

Annie contacted every sporting canine breeder in her area as well as let them understand that she might groom their breed correctly. Then, every veterinarian, canine walker, pet shop, pet photographer, canine trainer, doggy daycare, boarding kennel as well as pet sitter in town got a go to from Annie as well as was entrusted to something to keep in mind her by. perhaps a jar full of high quality canine cookies for them to hand out to their clients, or human treats for them to enjoy—but they likewise got a stack of hnull

I don’t keep track of the number of books I checked out each year, however my finest assumption is somewhere between 150 as well as 200, as well as at least half of them have something to do with cats. I reviewed more than 30 books right here on The mindful feline this year.

I made a commitment to myself long back that I would never publish a poor book review. I feel that every author pours his or her heart as well as spirit into a book, as well as just since I don’t like a book doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a great book. As a result, if you see a book reviewed right here on the site, it means that I truly liked it. This made it difficult to pick only ten favorites for this year end round up, particularly since the books cover such a wide range of genres.

Here are my ten favorites for this year, in the order in which I reviewed them.

Love saves the Day is a hauntingly beautiful, heart touching, as well as at times painfully raw story about grief, hope and healing. Narrated from three points of view, with the main narrator being Prudence, a brown tabby rescued from a deserted building site on Manhattan’s lower east Side, this is a book about the importance of memories, as well as of preserving a part of one’s past. It’s likewise the story of a mom child connection that shows that deep rifts can be mended even after death. however ultimately, this is a book about love, as well as exactly how one little cat, with her mere presence, can modification several lives.

Parrots prove Deadly, the third in Simon’s Pet Noir series featuring pet behaviorist as well as psychic Pru Marlowe is yet one more champion from this prolific author. This book has a bit bit for everyone. animal enthusiasts will enjoy Pru’s communications with the different animals. secret enthusiasts will enjoy the wild trip Simon takes the visitor on. romance enthusiasts will enjoy the establishing on again, off once again connection between Pru as well as her detective boyfriend.

Grey Dawn, Simon’s second new release this year, as well as the sixth book in the Dulcie Schwartz secret series featuring the Harvard graduate student, is one more satisfying checked out for enthusiasts of cat-centric mysteries. Simon masterfully takes the visitor with several plot lines to a surprising finish. There are lots of cats in this book: from ghost feline Mr. Grey, who keeps an eye on Dulcie and guides her with subtle as well as sometimes not so subtle messages, to Esme, who is maturing into a young adult with a strong sense of who she is, to an orange kitten rescued by the protagonist.

Cats as well as Daughters: They Don’t always Come When They’re Called is the long awaited sequel to Helen Brown’s worldwide bestseller Cleo: The feline who Mended a Family, about the bit black kitten who came into the author’s life after the death of her young son. After Cleo died, the author swore she’d never get one more cat, however the world had different plans when a little Siamese kitten with an intense blue look wrapped his paws around her hand in a pet store. Jonah came into Brown’s life soon after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as the book chronicles Brown’s struggle with her illness, her daughter, as well as her rambunctious cat. This is a story of like as well as household – both two- as well as four-legged – with all the difficulties as well as flaws that are part of life.

Fifth Life of the CatWoman was the most unusual book I reviewed this year, as well as the most unforeseen treasure. history instructor Kat O’Malley is living the nine lives of a cat,  as well as her lessons come from four hundred years of underdog experience with witch trials, prejudice, intolerance as well as poverty. This is wonderful realism at its best. The book touched me deeply, as well as it’s one I will be rereading over as well as over. It is poignant, haunting, bittersweet, joyful, as well as thought-provoking. as well as the truth that a tortoiseshell feline cat appears throughout the book only added to my general pleasure of the book.
I fell in like with Bob, the ginger (orange) tom feline as well as his human, James Bowen, when I read  A street feline named Bob last spring. The story of a down on his luck street musician who was busking the streets of London with his feline caught my heart – as well as the hearts of millions of visitors around the world.  The world According to Bob: The further Adventures of One guy as well as His Street-Wise feline picks up where the very first book leaves off, as well as takes us all the method to the publication of the very first book as well as exactly how it altered the pair’s life.

Lil BUB’s Lil Book: the most extraordinary Life of the most remarkable feline on the world came as a surprise to me. I didn’t truly expect to such as this book. I liked Lil BUB, however I didn’t believe this little book was going to be all that special. I was wrong. Unlike the numerous pictures I’d senull
