Blog Stats

Congrats to my friend Dr. Gerard "Raddy" Mabasa on his two new blogs, Athletic Motion, and World Passages.

He wants to know how much traffic my generic blog makes, so I'm posting them here.

He also wanted to know where my views were coming from.  Techie She is a regular regular site, but I have not figured out why.  I suspect that most of these referrals came from backlinks?

How to get to Xavier School, dated March 24, 2011,  with 7 views, is the top result in Google search.   So is Podium Opens at Noon on November 1, dated October 31, 5 views, also last year, with the search words 'Podium Opens at Noon on November.'  Another November 1 post, Via Mare Open on November 1, 3 views, has the thirdmost views.  My fourth highest post, Clinic Christmas Break, 2 views, is the third holiday post in the list.  So I guess holiday skeds attract the most views to this blog.

In case of a heart attack, 2 views, is the second health-related post in the list.

Feng Shui Figurines,  7 comments including mine, Canon Pixma MX 416?, and Professional Dog Trainer also had 2 views each.

Both health and holidays are part of the site description.

120 of my pageviews come from the US; 31, Philippines; 5 and 3, Argentina and Singapore, respectively.

Atimiti has had a total of 18,068 pageviews from 79 posts, or 228+ views per post.

This blog had 980 pageviews last month.

Dog Posts Have Most Views

Put together, doggie posts Professional Dog Trainer and Dog on a Slide got the most views in Atimiti yesterday at nine views.  Ateneo lights posts Ateneo Lights (6 views) and Ateneo High School Lights (2 views) were second at 8 views.  Thanks again to Manny de Guzman and Kiril Caral for letting me use their photos.

I had wanted to post a video of Charis (pronounced ka-ris), the dog in the slide post, and another dog, Keegan, on the same slide, but couldn't in Atimiti.  Both are Joy Uy's Havanese puppies.

Professional Dog Trainer had five views yesterday.

Dog on a Slide

To cut down on costs, Joy Uy is using black and white versions of my photos.  She asked me which photo she will use for her Pawsitive Education flyers.

Photo 1: Havanese on top of slide.

 If I had to choose one, I choose Photo 2, because it is a rarer photo than the cuter Photo 1. 

It took several tries for me to get Photo 2.

But I think that Joy should use both photos, since the flyer is a half page, and it costs the same to run both photos.  So some people will get Photo 1 and others will get Photo 2.

What do you think?

Photo 2: Dog going down slide.

Model is a Havanese.

To promote Pawsitive Education, Joy and I were thinking of coming up with a blogger event. 

I'm open to ideas on how to do this.

Maybe we'll invite bloggers with dogs for training and behavior.  Behavior is for problem dogs.

Then we can have a forum, then snacks for humans and dogs at say, Eastwood City or Bonifacio High Street.

I just don't know how to do the doggie snack thing.  I guess we can go to venues that have dog shows.

I had been planning to go to a dog restaurant in Quezon City but can't remember the name now.  Does anybody?

Professional Dog Trainer

My friend Joy Uy asked me to edit her flyer.  The final version looks something like this:

"Pawsitive Education is the best dog training company my dog, Milo and I have ever attended. Joy is very knowledgeable and she knows how to correct any bad dog behaviours.

I can't find the photo that I took for this flyer, so I'm using another one from the same photo session. 

Our Temporary Treasure

While his human parents are away, I've been Chiz's legal guardian. 

Chiz is a Doberman Pinscher.  When I stroke him not so gently, he moves like he's on a skateboard.  When I bring down my feet and accidentally hit him, he acts like I had kicked him.  When my mom gave him the throwaway end of a banana, he ate three pellets less, even with hand-feeding.  His quota for the day is four scoops of pellets.  Because of his wound, he needs to take one ml of Cefalexin, which more than covers a scoop of pellets.

Yesterday, he tried to enter the bathroom with his neckband.  After I encouraged him, he managed to open two doors by himself.

When he barked at my brother-in-law, my niece told him to get back to his cage, which he did.  My brother-in-law wants to be his foster parent, too.
