Lets see what's new today....
*I added a note in the new section in the Information Pamphlet thread. Down at the way bottom.
*Artemis is back! Yay!
*New beach layout made by Artemis!
*I'm thinking about deleting the Vet's board, and Koda suggested I make a Therapy place for stressed pets in it's place. What do you guys think? Will it get used? What would you guys want in that board? Any suggestions?
*Dogs in the rescue board in need of foster homes! Go take a look!
*Don't forget to enter the Agility trials and open your own for others to enter!!!
*Anyone with cats, we have Kitten & Cat classes #1 go sign them up!
*I am thinking up and trying to work on the new boards, Not entirely sure how I'm going to do the information and such and I think I might write everything out in Word first, so those boards won't be empty for long! While waiting, get your pets enrolled in training classes as they will have to pass / graduate from those first before starting training in the other areas!
*I will be gone this weekend, not sure what days exactly, but just so you know!
*If you have ANY Suggestions or Ideas please post them up for me to hear them!!!
*If you have any questions, please do ask!
*Trying to get better organized around here, any boards you want deleted / added or moved?
Thanks guys, I think that's it for today!

Yay thanks for the updates Amy! I love the new layout.<3 I'm not entirely sure about the therapy board, I like the idea tho. I don't think there's any harm in giving it a try? But we need more ideas... Oh and I've decided to adopt Radar. I'll post an update on her tomorrow.

Your welcome Destiny. I definitely agree with needing more ideas on the therapy board. Aw, I'm so happy you've decided to keep her! She's a sweetie huh. Good luck with her!

I don't know if I like the title "Therapy"... what about "Behavior Specialists"? It seems more pet-ish...

I'm not sure about the idea. Does it involve sending petz to others? That might not work because people can have events that come up and it'll be delayed and just be a tiring process. I'm not sure how else it would work though.

I agree Artemis. I think it would have to be a place to ask behavior type questions in, but we already have the Let's Talk board where you can ask, so I don't see a need for it unless we come up with something.

Haha, I knew the therapy thing wasn't gonna catch on How bout, since its the summer, you could do a doggy/kitty camp program. Up to about 2 people run their own camp and you can send up to a certain number of petz (the camp owner decides). The camp could be as long as the owner wants. So an example could be a 'sleep away' camp for about a week, or maybe send the dog/cat for about 3 hours per day a week. They could also base certain activities according to the actual weather in real life. So say its supposed to be a sunny day, dog/cats could be out all day. Maybe it rains later, then they go indoors for indoor activities. Camp schedules can be changed every day, and pictures will be posted daily. I'm not sure that everyone will agree with this one, but its worth a try

^ That would take a long time as well. Sending petz out to people should basically be stuck to with playgroups simply because they take usually a weekend. Timing it so it's three hours a day every week would be hard; what if the person has something prior that they forgot about? What if the person falls ill unexpectedly and your pet is basically stuck with them until they can come back on, and they could lose interest and basically it would drag on constantly.
I know quite a few people would be uncomfortable sending their petz out to just anybody, so playgroups held by respectable members would probably be the only real good thing to focus on sending to people. The rest just seem really really really unnecessary unless held by members that have a seriously good reputation to back them up and are like, weeklend long, not a week or 3 hours a day or something like that.

I think the summer camp thing is a great idea, but it is pretty much just another playgroup type thing. Perhaps I could add a Summer Camp board to the playgroups & contests category and limit the days to like a 3 - 4 day camp or something. If it doesn't get enough interest I could always just take it down.
