Dekka, my plan for building a mailing list is to create a list of people who I may be able to ask for feedback, so I can keep adding the sort of content people are after. I also see it as a way of getting the most out of my efforts to drive traffic to the site. Purely selfish maybe, but some of...

Dekka, we've not had any concerns or complaints from the several hundred subscribers to our newsletter over the last month or two. We've also had nobody unsubscribe. A mailing list is purely a means of disseminating useful and free information to people who have expressed interest in the...

Beanie, you've obviously put a lot of consideration into this, and I appreciate your insights and the time you've put into your reply. So you're saying you'd prefer not to be notified by email when something new and interesting and relevant to dog health was available on the site for free, you'd...

Fair enough comment, but there's a good reason for it. I have contacts who are veterinary nutritionists, behaviour specialists, orthopedic specialists, canine physical therapists, and I'm planning on doing podcasts interviewing them about canine athletes. By building a mailing list of people...

An old farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable. His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?" He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. "What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks. "Here boy" he replies.

Isn't it hard to keep them quiet!!! They feel fine but really, you do need to give them time to heal. Dogs have no self restraint. I'm a vet and have seen some wounds break down because the dogs have done too much too soon. Even though the skin sutures look great, the incision through the...

Hi there, I'm a keen runner and I like to take my dogs out with me. It's good exercise for them, and I feel a bit safer being a lone female jogger if I have one of them with me. I also dabble in photography, work part time as a veterinarian and homeschool two children. Life is never peaceful...
