As the end of the year nears, an avalanche of calendars has covered store shelves everywhere. One minute, you’re walking to the cash register of the local bookstore. The next minute, you’re hypnotized by the cutest dog you’ve ever seen–staring back at you on the cover of a 2010 calendar.

For everyone who loves daily tributes to cute dogs, our NoDogNo.com editorial team has compiled a list of our favorites for 2010.

	Dogma: A Dog’s Guide to Life It’s a dog’s life – and this is the wall calendar to prove it! In the 2010 Dogma wall calendar, nationally recognized photographer Ron Schmidt treats dog lovers to a collection of his humorous photos paired with what can only be described as doggone brilliant maxims. This calendar has gone completely to the dogs – and you’re sure to love every minute of it!
	Bad Dog Wall Calendar 2010 Man’s best friend? Don’t count on it. Adapted from Bad Dog, the wildly hilarious New York Times bestselling book, this calendar presents in full color hundreds of dogs who aren’t eager to please anyone. Meet dirty bichons. Forlorn-looking labs. Badly dressed boxers. Clearly guilty (of something) pugs. Plus schnauzers costumed unconvincingly as superheroes, dalmatians “forgetting” their potty training, and lots of dogs who could roll over, but just won’t. It’s a disturbing showcase of canine misbehavior. Includes 12 fullcolor postcards and a centerfold poster.
	Bad Dog Page-A-Day Calendar 2010 Bad is getting badder! Now in drooling full color, Bad Dog is a hilarious year of sheer canine lunacy, based on the howlingly funny New York Times bestselling book. It’s a veritable rogues’ gallery of dogs gone bad: the lazy, the mean, the mangy, the morose. The smelly, the excitable, and the inappropriately costumed. These mutts don’t want to roll over, don’t want to wear a leash, and certainly don’t want to be your best friend. With Bad Dog Career Opportunities, Good Advice for Bad Dogs, and Bad Dog Early Warning Signs: Dog resents having to feign excitement for lousy treats.
	What Dogs Teach Us 2010 Calendar: Life’s Lessons Learned from Our Best Friends (Calendar) What could be cuter than a floppy-eared Bassett hound enduring a nearby fan? Only the life lessons learned from such a moment. Each month of this calendar features an adorable dog photograph and life lesson to keep you cheerful yearlong.
	Yoga Dogs 2010 Wall Calendar Dog lovers who’ve seen these delightful calendar have raved about the hilarity of seeing dogs in classic yoga poses. This calendar is also a perfect gift for others. And while we hesitate to mention it, there’s also a version for cat lovers.
	Stuff on my Mutt 2010 Daily Calendar Every day reveals a new hilarious photograph of man’s best friend covered in offbeat objects.
	Dog Gallery Daily Calendar for 2010 Unwavering fidelity. A Bulldog’s lopsided grin. A Basset Hound, droopy and droll. The amiable expression of a yellow Lab. A lovably scruffy mutt. Featuring hundreds of beautifully composed canine photographs in black-and-white and color, this calendar celebrates the lively spirit and true, loving soul of the dog.
	William Wegman Man’s Best Friend 2010 Calendar Available only from Abrams, this bestselling calendar features many new photographs by William Wegman. Includes 6 postcards.
