Our blog has been around a little over two years now and we have published over 300 posts.
These are the top 5 most popular posts of all time:
We watched two other wiener dogs so we had 4 at our house. I think this post was so popular because everyone loves pictures of multiple wieners.
4. 7 Reasons that Hiking with Your Small Dog is Better
People are often surprised that small dogs can hike and there aren’t many people out there writing about it. It’s has probably been a popular post because people who don’t hike with their small dog are intrigued and those that do know that is awesome and are curious what I had to say about it.
It’s hard to find jackets to fit Dachshunds. When you do find them, some of them are pretty expensive and/or can’t be thrown in the washer. It’s muddy on trails here in Seattle so we need to be able to wash our jackets often. These custom-made fleece jackets are very affordable and our favorite ones we own.
2. How Many Calories Do You Burn Walking Your Dog?
People are beginning to realize that dogs can make good workout partners. Also, sadly, many pets in America are overweight. Walking together is beneficial for both people and their pooches. People are curious how much exercise they are getting on their daily walks….maybe so they can get out of going to the gym 🙂
The #1 Most popular post of all time was the recent post How Do You Sleep at Night?
This post just goes to show that you (ok…me and other bloggers) don’t always have to work for hours on a post to come up with something people like. For some reason people really identified with my poorly drawn schematics of how the four of us (me, my husband, Chester and Gretel) all sleep in the same bed.

Glad you posted this…As a somewhat new reader I liked seeing your past Top 5…And my favorite is definitely #4 7 Reasons that Hiking with Your Small Dog is Better…As a convert from hiking with big dogs to hiking with a small dog I’ve had to make a few adjusments (he can’t really carry his own water in a backpack, eg.) but other than that it’s been great…I will add that I am super conscience of hydration and always carry more water than we’ll need (it gets HOT here in Florida) so we can share with other hiking dogs if needed

Our wellness program at work gives credit for walking but not hiking nor horse-back riding :(. And yes, people (OK, me) love seeing bunches of Weiner dogs…

Sometimes the popular posts are surprising but in your case, I think all five make perfect sense. These are the posts that reach wider audiences, beyond just the pet blogging world. I’ve probably googled the title of number two several times and I am sure I am not alone!
