Oz the Terrier's Top 11 Posts of 2013

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.

Tell me... 
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....

  19. Ring-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.
    Thanks for being a friend
