Getting lots of visitors to the blog

I really don't post that often on this blog, just a few short posts a week. I am really amazed how many visitors I am getting each day. I would like to see more people leaving comments and I don't mean the ones who sign themselves "diet pills that work," I mean the regular readers. I know I have them because my statcounter tells me I have at least 5 people a day that are repeat visitors. So won't one of you leave a comment? I would love to hear about your dog or if you have a dog blog leave a link to it.
