It’s hard to believe that 2022 is over already and that 2023 is here.  As we get into the swing of things for the new year and say goodbye to the old year, let’s take a look back at some of the best Wow My Pet posts/stories from 2022.

1) This book about Ghost Cats was a fun read and perfect for posting a review of close to Halloween.

2) We love it when someone is willing to share a great pic with us, and this adorable and funny chicken protecting her chicks pic still makes us smile.

Exactly how many legs does that chicken have? Picture of the day

3) Another share led to us being able to use some incredible footage of a bear in someone’s backyard, but we also love this post because we learned a lot about protecting chickens in the process of researching and writing it that we were able to share with readers.

4) We think our readers love reading about pets, but also about businesses that are creating unique and special pet-related products. This story is a favorite of 2022 because of the creativity this business cooked up for dogs.

5. Speaking of creativity, we like getting creative ourselves and, although we’re tooting our own horn, we are proud of coming up with this pet fur effect that people can easily create in Adobe Illustrator:

7. Going for walks is great for dogs, great for humans, and, according to this study, good for your neighborhood.

8. We’re always happy to lead readers to fun-to-read books with pets in them and this book about a crime-fighting dog and his human partner is one we certainly recommend.
