Hope everybody's been having a good celebration (or hiding efficiently away from it all). We've got a review of the year on the blog, and there will be some new year's resolutions for dog lovers appearing on the 31st... check it out.

I'm off on honeymoon for a few days but look forward to seeing you all commenting on the blog in 2009. Even if no-one leaves a message here. *sob*

Hello all... how are you? Sorry I haven't updated here in a few days. I've been busy blogging... about blogs! Specifically blogs written by people who have adopted dogs from us. I'm beginning to have a very long RSS feed... So, how's everyone?

If you have any great ideas for Christmas-themed posts, please do let me know. I am open to guest blogs or happy to write the posts and credit them to you. :)

Thanks very much to those bloggers who picked up our Girls Aloud story - that's much appreciated. x

Since I moved house yesterday (I'm bearing the scars... oh yes), I got all gung ho about tips for moving house safely and calmly when you have a pet to consider. Our cat Snaffle is fantastically unconcerned about the upheaval although we did our best to keep him away from it anyway, but I know some friends with dogs (and cats) that are not so happy to be moved around.

Please do add any suggestions to the post - comments make us feel loved. :)

Could three of you please do me a favour and verify me as the author?! Btw, our Dog of the Week is already up in regular Friday feature form, so do pop over and take a look (links above).

Ooh, hello everyone! Nice to see a few DoggySnappers over here. Please feel free to start using the Wall to tell me about features you'd like to see on the blog. We joined this network as another opportunity to be able to talk to supporters directly, so please do talk to us!
