I'm amazed

I had a bit of spare time today, so I asked David to have a look at some of the statistics on my blog. I was amazed to find that very nearly one thousand people have read it so far. Thank you! I never dreamed that the musings of this humble poodle in France would attract so much attention.

As one would expect, the majority of my readers are in France. These are followed by those from English-speaking countries. (Today, though, only one from Australia and none from New Zealand. They do bark a kind of English there, don’t they?)

The big surprise was the number (23) from Russia. I never dreamed that I’d be popular there. Do you think it’s the KGB following my blog? Or perhaps Mr. Putin wants to get a better insight into canine thinking in the West? In any case, they’re more than welcome. I’d love to hear come comments on a dog’s life in Russia.

Another surprise was that I have a reader in Iran. Maybe it’s their President; he of the unpronounceable name. It would be wonderful if my blog could help foster better understanding between the East and West. I’ve said it before: “Dogs of the World unite – in peace!”

I’ve also had some lovely comments on the blog; they’ve all been published for you to read. Please, please keep them coming.

Well, it’s a warm afternoon, Linda is off solving the world’s problems at a ladies’ lunch and David is tired of taking dictation so he and I are going to have a much needed nap.

Barks and woofs to all.
