Thanksgiving Weekend 2009 Update – and post #100!

This is post #100 on the Dog Spelled Forward blog. I probably find this fact more interesting than you do. I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to read my iScribblings, and also remind you of the ways you can subscribe to them over there on the right.

 

It is, of course, Thanksgiving Weekend. A time to reflect on the wonderful bounty and prosperity we (those of us with the time and money to write or read blogs) have here in the United States. I can’t even begin to express how thankful I am for my family of people, dogs and birds. So I’ll stop there.

 

For a few people it’s also time for American Football (bleh) and/or shopping (double bleh.) Hope you had fun if that’s your thing. I did do some shopping online from the comfort of my laptop to make my contribution to the economy.

It was a slow news week for pets. I saw a lot of the same stories, and many of them were more on the depressing side. I’m just going to leave you with story that demonstrates how dogs contribute to our consumer economy too.

Here’s a nice interview and demo with fellow IAABC member (and CPDT) Bob Hammesfahr:

I also want to point one change to the site. I have added Disqus as the new commenting system for DSF. Disqus is used on several popular blogs and allows you to set up your own avatar for your comments, as well as publish your comments on Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, and many other social networking sites. I’m hoping this helps expand the conversations here to other sites far and wide. Take a look and leave a comment!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend!
