Dog Blogs - Hot Weather Reading
It’s hot. Dash makes very brief trips to the backyard, only when necessary. My plants have stopped growing. My car could double as a sauna. We have little ambition. This is the perfect time to stay in the air conditioning and do a little internet browsing. Why not see what dogs are doing in other parts of the world?
- Kenya the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and her humans live in Canada. Kenya and family been blogging since August 2005. Her blog has short posts but lots of photos and a great sense of humor. It’s one of our favorites.
- Find out what it’s like to raise a Guide Dogs of America puppy raiser with Jenny.
- Jon, of Dogblog, lives in San Francisco and has become famous for photographing dogs “tied to things” around the city. It’s oddly fascinating to look at the expressions and posture of these city dogs as they wait for their people.
- Zippy the Corgi’s blog is approaching it’s fifth year. Zippy’s blog is full of extras; pictures, movies, games, stories. What a busy guy.
How do you find more dog blogs? Two dedicated blog search engines are Google Blog Search or Ice Rocket Blog Search, but truthfully, I have better luck just searching on Google. Search for blogs about your breed, your favorite dog sport, or dogs in a certain locale. Type in blog and your choice of keywords (like beagle, tracking, or California).
Why not set up your own blog? Blogs are a great way for far-away friends and relatives to keep up with you and your dog. Blogger is free and very easy to use. Other blogging services are Wordpress (Good Dog Ideas is powered by Wordpress), Typepad, Live Journal, and Movable Type.
Do you have a favorite dog blog? We’d love to hear about it.
