Our favorite is very recent. The addition of Waffles Too to the GLOGIRLY family has created a whole new level of drama.

[Random Felines]

We had lots of favorites, but the bond between foster siblings Gin and Bourbon always makes us smile: http://randomfelines.blogspot.com/2012/09/wordless-wednesday-more-or-less.html

[TFKblog]

Well if I can only have one, I guess it would be my blogoversary post. http://www.kittyblog.net/2012/10/2002-2012-and-beyond.html

[caren gittleman]

With the end of the year upon us, I think one of my favorite posts for Cat Chat was the one I posted the first Monday of the year that talked about the meaning of the word "January" from Cody's viewpoint. Here is the link:

My favorite post for Dakota's blog was actually a product review for Viva La Dog Spa facial wipes. I used these on Dakota in a rather unconventional way that I thought was hilarious. The brand loved it too. I just thought this one was too funny. Here is the link: http://dakotasden.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/friday-find-ooo-la-la-cardinal-pet-cares-viva-la-dog-spa-dog-facial-wipes-you-can-win/

obviously the give-away for this is CLOSED!

[CompAnimalPsych]

It's hard to choose, but my favourite is this one:
Canine Neuroscience http://www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2012/10/canine-neuroscience.html

My blog is at http://www.companionanimalpsychology.com, @CompAnimalPsych on twitter.

I can't wait to see everyone's favourites!

[Carol Bryant]

WOW I can't wait to catch up on some of these that I missed and will share mine soon, too.

[Sparkle]

I looked over the past year, and although I am not a political kitty, i have to say my favorite blog post was "If We Kitties Could Vote…" - http://www.sparklecat.com/special/if-we-kitties-could-vote

It shows an awesome kitty utopia!

We love to empower pet parents in natural care, so I'd choose this post as one of our 2012 favorites:

Dog Treat Recipe – Homemade Joint & Arthritis Supplements
http://allnaturalpetcare.com/blog/2012/07/20/dog-treat-recipe-natural_homemade-joint-arthritis-supplements/

Thanks for the opportunity to share, I'm looking forward to reading the list & reading the posts.

[Barbara Strunin]

OK here goes my favorite post was one just recently put up. AMTCTD Blog participated in a group effort, and this was my blog's contribution.

http://adoptedmomtochazzthedog.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/chanukah-blog-crawl-2012-mazel-tov/

We were trying to educate as well as share some holiday fun. And a special wish for all animals to be taken care of with a furever home. :)

[Carol Bryant]

WOW, I found some awesome blogs I hadn't been following and now I am!

[Beth]

The post I'd like to share the most is about a dog who has suffered needlessly from poor veterinary care, but has been given a second chance.

[Gizmo (@GizmoGeodog)]

The one that best displayed Gizmo's personality and his joy in all things is http://terriertorrent.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/grooming-getting-it-right-mischief-monday/

[MyFavPupJasmine]

Since it's Christmas time, I like sharing Jasmine's "Dog Saves Christmas" trick video. It never fails to make people smile. ;) (Especially the bloopers at the end.)

I was torn between two - a more serious one, and a funnier one. I think that I'll choose the funny one for now: http://www.wantmorepuppies.com/2012/11/19/the-7-habits-of-highly-irritating-dog-walkers/

[Christie Zizo]

Thanks for this!

"The day in Sanford" post is one of my favorites, mostly because of that picture of Lulu. For the longest time it was also my most popular.

My favorite post for BlogPaws:
http://www.blogpaws.com/2012/08/pet-bloggers-have-purchasing-power-influence.html

[Shannon@theDIYdog]

While it's not a post about training, one of my favorites was this one:
http://thediydog.com/how-to-use-facebook-to-find-your-lost-pet/
I think the concept of it is great, and lost & found pets are a subject near and dear to my heart. More pet owners need this info.

[Jackie Bouchard]

This is my favorite post - the one where we introduced our new sweetie, Rita, to the world. It was the first happy post on the blog after losing our beautiful Abby to her bone cancer.

[The Scottie Mom]

Whenever I'm in need of a good laugh, I like to remember one of Mr. K's craziest moments. So, "Attack of the Air Mattress" would have to be one of my favorites: http://scottiemom.com/2012/12/07/attack-of-the-air-mattress/

However, nothing can replace the memory my two Scotties and their Scottie Dad gave me just this past weekend in "A Scottie Proposal." Hands down, the best wedding proposal EVER! http://scottiemom.com/2012/12/18/a-scottie-proposal/

You can follow the rest of our silly Scottie happenings on various social media sites:

[Intrepid Pup]

One favorite has to be "Oh Shenandoah, I Long to See You":

http://www.intrepidpup.com/2012/08/05/rapidancamp

in which Intrepid Pup heads for the mountains of Shenandoah National Park and takes the trail less traveled to President Hoover’s Rapidan Camp. This post includes outdoor recreation, history, presidential dog trivia, gear recommendations, and more!

[Natalya & Oscar the Dog]

Fun exercise!
Our post on Oscar dog's signature "Lazy Flop" has to be near the top... he took things to new depths of lazy low that day...
http://www.oscaratemymuffin.com/2012/07/reaching-new-depths-of-lazy.html

I personally have never laughed harder than the day of the great "Carb-UNloading" (Oscar, however, has never forgiven me):
http://www.oscaratemymuffin.com/2012/06/carb-unloading.html

And then there was that sidewalk wig incident... dont' see THAT everyday!

[CarmaPoodale]

I had a few favorites. The one that I got to announce that I won the BarkWorld contest, One where Scooby Doo's owner signed over rights to him to us and our birthday's. But my Least favorite blog post was where I announced the news that Zen was missing.http://www.carmapoodale.com/2012/10/family-heart-is-tore-apart.html
But my favorite heartfelt blog post was about my ma's date with Dozer. http://www.carmapoodale.com/2012/09/promises-made-promises-kept.html

[Colehaus Cats]

Our favorite post was introducing kitten Pia Bean to the Internet and our blog pals:

http://www.colehauscats.com/meet-the-new-kitten-pia-bean/

Our most commented upon post was kitten Quint's first painting project when we decided to put his pawing toothpaste flecks on our bathroom mirrow to good use. Turns out he's a natural artist!

[Layla Morgan Wilde]

Ok, you can see the theme, here. I focused on tripod dogs in 2012 because we adopted one!
