Happy 400 comments

 

As promised the 400th comment was recently posted. Luckily, Jill from j.c.furtography is a self-confessed weekend internet addict and was the first to comment on Saturday morning. Jill, I’ve included an extra pack of Dogs of India cards in your shipment.

Todays picture, in the usual fashion was chosen from google images. It came from a blog called The Dogs of Pompeii. I’d really love to get to Pompeii one of these days. Preferably before Mt Vesuvius blows again! The next big volcanic eruption is due sometime this century. After that, the remnants of old Pompeii will once again be covered in molten lava, but this time, the neighboring modern day cities will be destroyed along with it.

Your chance to get a FREE doggie gift card pack

Oops….Once again a milestone has gone quietly unnoticed while all the excitement was happening. 300 comments came and went and this time the lucky winner is Emilee Fuss. Yay Emilee. I’m going to send a Dogs of India gift card pack your way. Just email me with your address and it will be in the mail with the others tomorrow.

Because I’m so late with 300, I’m going to announce 400 comments very, very soon. You know what that means?

If you want a pack of Dogs of India gift cards heading your way, all you have to do is leave a comment and be lucky number 400. It’s as simple as that. 

And in the usual form, I googled ‘Three Hundred Dogs’ for today’s picture. It’s a photo of three hundred dog kennels on a glacier in Alaska where some sled dogs from the US were spending the summer. You can read about it here. I seriously want to go sled dogging. Has anyone been?

Should ‘A Dog A Day’ take a break on the weekends?

When I first started A Dog A Day in April, I had planned to post a photograph of a dog every day of the year. I’ve recently started tracking the traffic to this blog and haved noticed a drop in visitors on the weekends. I’m considering make ‘A Dog A Day’ a five day a week thing, but I’d really love to know what you, the blog readers think.

Dog A Day has made it somewhere very foreign

My recently posted photo of Buddy has turned up on a site which I suspect is written in Russian. Check it out here. Having not a clue how to translate, I turned to Babel Fish. What follows is the translation that Babel Fish spat out at me. If anyone knows someone who could do a better job of translating, I’d love to hear from them. In the meantime, lets see if we can work out what’s been said.

Даже собаку захотелось…..

Even the dog wanted ..
