Top 5 Hambone Nation Blog Posts for 2010

As 2010 comes to a close I thought it would be a good time to recap the top 5 posts on the Hambone Nation blog and also tell you about some upcoming changes you’ll be seeing to the site in 2011!

I know it isn’t the most original idea, but since these are the stories our readers found the most interesting over the past year, I thought they’d be good ones to share in case you missed them the first time around.

1. A Poodle’s Sand-wich – Beau, a standard poodle, racked up $3,600 in veterinary bills after swallowing sand while playing catch at the beach!
2. Dog vs. Stingray – An amazing story of people coming together to save a dog that was stung in the neck by a stingray.
3. Labrador Retrievers – the Tiger Sharks of the Land? – Our gratuitous tie in to Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.
4. A Dog’s Mystery Illness is Solved – Rocco’s owners couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him and were prepared for the worst.
5. Groundhog’s Last Day – From the “what were they thinking” files comes the groundhog that tried to take on two German shepherds.

Make sure you stick around because we are looking to make VPIHamboneAward.com bigger and better in 2011. The site will have a new layout, there will be new interactive features, we will integrate more content from our Facebook and Twitter accounts, and as always—interesting stories about unusual pet insurance claims. If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions for the site please share them with us!

Thank you for visiting our site and I hope you all have a wonderful new year!
