I know, when I find a new post in my feed reader, that it will either be a passionate plea for animal welfare or the personal expression of that in your life with Kenzo and Viva. It all hangs together.<br /><br />As for feeling bad about not posting more--the blogs are supposed to be an expression of our love of dogs. And if you're taking Kenzo and Viva to the beach, giving them stimulating days, or taking them to the vet, then you're not neglecting the blog. You're fulfilling one of the passions of your life.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2013.Pamela | Something Wagging This Way Comeshttp://www.somethingwagging.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-17961585573562788032013-01-12T00:35:46.340+01:002013-01-12T00:35:46.340+01:00We're fighting the fight against BSL, too - ke...We're fighting the fight against BSL, too - keep up the good work!AJ of PupLovehttp://www.puplove.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-19284817082419529502013-01-11T21:00:14.535+01:002013-01-11T21:00:14.535+01:00Terrific post!

I find you bring a fresh set of eyes and a different perspective to a lot of the issues you right about. There are a lot of things I would never have known if not for your blog (plus I never would have discovered the Hovawart!)<br /><br />I didn't even realize until tonight that I read 90% of your posts in my feed reader and therefore, NEVER comment on them. My apologies - I'll try to be better. Might I make a suggestion if your looking to bring more people into the discussion? Using jump breaks a paragraph or two into the post means we have to click that read more button and come to the blog to keep reading. My commenting when way up when I started using jump breaks.Kolchak Pugglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246753495695769393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-86519277365030389792013-01-11T06:20:08.328+01:002013-01-11T06:20:08.328+01:00I've actually wondered if lack of focus might ...I've actually wondered if lack of focus might be a problem. I know that some of my more *cough* impassioned or pleading posts (For fundraisers, specific rescued dogs in need) seem to get hardly any comments, and I wonder if it's because it's far too specific, or because there's little to say on the matter. But then Wordless Wednesday posts will get comments from entirely new people, and a lot of comments. It's very strange to me, though I guess there's less pressure involved.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-61236448496813547232013-01-11T05:59:17.322+01:002013-01-11T05:59:17.322+01:00Thanks so much for posting some of your favourite ...Thanks so much for posting some of your favourite past blog posts.

So...You doubled your stats - that's great, Leo! Sometimes I think that engagement and traffic run in opposite directions and I have a hard time finding a balance between the two. I think that's why I'm focusing on posts I'm passionate about this year - it may mean less traffic, but I think it will result in more engagement and my primary goal is to incite people to travel, after all!<br /><br />I also think you're being a little hard on yourself. It sounds like you have some great engagement! It may not be the way you were hoping or what you expected, but you're definitely reaching people! I'm looking forward to seeing where 2013 takes us both - wherever that is, I'll be along for the ride.

I love the after-party picture of Viva and that you "achieved the opposite of what we set out to do" because your blog has a scary, independent life of its own. Funny how we've all learned that together over the years.<br /><br />Thanks for everything Hovawart and BSL related in your posts. I hope you find more time to write, if only because you clearly enjoy it - and I learn a great deal about breed struggles in Denmark and a dog breed I've never heard of until you came along.<br /><br />Happy 2013!

How frightening it is when the blog takes over. <br /><br />I actually like that you have been back and blogging more regularly the last couple of weeks. I thought maybe you were traveling more and couldn't blog as often. After all, Kenzo and Viva did get some serious beach time this summer. :)<br /><br />I love your stance on BSL, on Hovawarts and on Kenzo and Viva. Truth be told Leo, I learn from you all of the time. I don't know if you have heard this about us Americans, but we can sometimes become myopic and have a hard time seeing the world beyond our own. You educate me on what's going on beyond our borders. I like that. <br /><br />I also happen to love Kenzo and Viva, so any posts on them (or cure pictures like the one above) are most welcome! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-86104440231963734552013-01-10T22:19:07.839+01:002013-01-10T22:19:07.839+01:00Haha, glad you noticed the photo.

I lo...That photo of Viva is perfect for this post!<br /><br />I love your Hovawart School posts - do you think you'll continue it in the future? It's especially cool that it inspired those discussions on Facebook.<br /><br />I don't really feel that you're all over the place. I think that there's a common thread uniting all of your posts - the love of Hovawarts. :) I find the BSL posts very educational and interesting, and I think that Hovawart TV and posts about Kenzo and Viva help reinforce the idea that BSL is stupid because you spotlight some absolutely awesome pups.Pup Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539666792034242448noreply@blogger.com
