In a few more days, 2013 will be but a memory...but for me, 2013
was memorable and I have you all to thank for that. I have had so much fun making new friends
this year and meeting some of you in person.
Because of you, my blog grew by leaps and bounds in 2013. I am so grateful that you continue to share
in my travels, poetry, reviews, thoughts, ideas, humor, and general
silliness.
So, here are my top 11 posts (an odd number I know, but I am
an odd terrier) as determined by you - your pageviews, your comments and your
social shares.
Oz the Terrier's Top 11 Posts of 2013
Poetry
1) The Bad Poetry Contest. I love poetry but I am guessing
so do a lot of you because this was the post that announced the contest; the
actual contest post was just as popular.
Boy, did we have fun writing bad poetry or what? Do you think I should host the contest again
next August?
2) Marching Out the Limericks. Yep, this is the post where I
said I would write a limerick every day for the month of March and you could be
the inspiration. I started late (March
2) and was overwhelmed with entries; I didn't write one every day like I
planned either. Maybe in 2014 I should
announce it earlier so I can get a head start on writing them? Though I have been writing them off and on
all year...and still have some to do (shhhhhhhh).
Reviews
3) Wonder Why I No Longer Mind a Bath? My Wondercide
shampoo product review where you once again caught me bathing in my Roman
tub. BOL
(I actually get my baths in the kitchen sink.)
4) Clickit or Ticket: SleepyPod Product Review. I was so excited when I got my SleepyPod
Clickit Harness for riding in the car. I
use my Clickit all the time in the car now and I love it. I highly recommend this product if you are an
avid traveler.
5) #FueltheLove with Zuke's. My first product review that
combines two of my favorite things - treats and poetry.
Camping
6) Adventures in Silver River State Park Part I and Part II.
This is a well known park here in Florida, near Silver Springs. We had some great hikes in the park and
canoed the river where we saw monkeys (yes, in Florida), bacon-on-the-hoof and
big gators.
7) Make a Run to Anastasia State Park. This park was so
fun! In this post I posted two videos -
one of that really F-A-S-T Gopher Tortoise and one when we canoed alongside the
dolphins.
Campaigns
8) A Sad Reminder of Summer Pet Safety. We were all trying to
share the infographic from Petfinder for keeping pets safe during Summer and
then I read about some stupid guy in my area who left his two dogs in the car
with disastrous results.
9)
#ScoopThatPoop: PoopBuddy and Scooper Oz. Special thanks to my good
friend Sugar the Golden Retriever for including me in this campaign. This is my first post where I used the movie
studio software to create my "Keystone Kops" like slideshow where of
course, I am the Scooper Hero.
Raw Diet for Dogs
10) Raring to Go Raw: My Primal Pet Food & a Giveaway. I
shared about my new food, how I was asked to be a part of Primal's product
review program and I gave away the first products Primal gave me - because Ma
forgot to tell them I was allergic to chicken!
11) Food Energetics: Are You a Hot Dog? This was a good start
to a conversation about eating cold versus hot proteins. I meant to do a follow up post but never got
to it. I may put it on the list for
2014.
And there they are...my Top 11 Posts of 2013. I cannot wait for the New Year so I can share
more of my life and adventures with all of my friends.
Which of my posts was your favorite from last year? What
topics are your most/least favorite?
Should I add any new topics?
I'm
all ears....
Thank you Oz for all your great post, however by far the bestest of the bestest is the Marching Out the Limericks, a most wonderful bunch of nail the doggie on the head.!

DeleteOz we didn't know you were a limerick sort of dog until today - please do another limerick post/day/month next year so we can try to look intelligent and see if we can make one up.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx.
BOL! You don't write the limericks, Hannah and Lucy...you submit silly information about yourselves to me and I write a limerick about you. It was fun so I bet I will do it again!

New Blog Post: How to Start 2014 With The Right Attitude
Well done on all your success, Oz! Mom and I would love to see some more poetry as we didn't enter the contests this year and regret it very much! Well done again and all the best for 2014!
ReplyDeleteDina
Love the Limericks and so glad you did one for Norman. I just love it. Don't change a thing I love all your posts. Your reviews are great, my favorite one was the alligator looking treat one! Have a great 2014.
ReplyDeleteKeep the poems coming Oz, love the limericks and the bad poetry contest:-)
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun post! I love seeing what you've posted about for the past year.
ReplyDeleteRing-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding ~ Tough question. Hum I liked different ones for different reasons. I loved seeing your mind twist out those limerick. And of course because of your review I tried Epic Pet which helped me. But then I loved Anastasia State Park. So you are not going to twist my arm for just one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
