Let’s celebrate! This fall issue marks Modern Dog’s tenth birthday! When I think back to the launch of our first issue in 2002 published out of a tiny office in the loft of my house, it seems almost unbelievable that we’ve come so far. Those first few years of publishing were the most overwhelming I’ve ever experienced—it felt like the first day on the job for at least two years! Sometimes, though, what you don’t know can help you; with no prior publishing experience, we simply forged ahead, creating our own path to success with no “rules” to trip us up along the way. And now, here we are, a decade later, celebrating Modern Dog’s tenth birthday. In keeping with our celebratory theme, the fall issue is just jam-packed with all sorts of goodness. We check out some award-winning dog-dedicated wineries, explore what your dog really wants (page 30) and how to be your dog’s best friend, and get you started blogging (page 58). Brace yourself for extreme cuteness—this issue’s photo-editorial is all über-adorable.
