With the extra posts about Ollie being ill recently, I have been reminded of the fact that my dog is genuinely the most popular thing on this blog.
Anything I write about concerning Ollie beats all other posts hands-down, and by at least 20% more views.
The second most popular thing here is anything to do with ‘Blogging’. Whether that be tips and advice, or just plain moans, those posts always get a big audience.
Photos have always been popular, and adding any image helps to create interest. But include a photo of Ollie, and those views go off the scale.
So let’s be honest about it. This is really Ollie’s blog. Maybe I should change the name of it? 🙂

He honestly looks adorable, and I love your profile picture. Hope that he is better now❤️

He has recovered from the breathing crisis, but it has slowed him down considerably. For his breed, eight and a half is quite old, so we have to take things a lttle differently now. I am very pleased that you like him so much.
Best wishes, Pete.

Ollie is beloved by your bloggers, but it is not Ollie’s blog. He is just a big part of you, and your blog. No need to change names, but please give Ollie a big pat for me.

No! Please don’t change the name. You are more than Ollie’s interpreter, biographer and carer. You have enlightened the murky blogosphere with the tale of a special relationship. Animals make humans better. We need to be reminded of your crucial role!
