I was thinking....

[TerriL]

We have had a few very sad months here on WW.  We have lost some cherished babies and we have prayed for others with back problems and other medical issues.  Maybe now would be a good time to revisit our Dog of the Day or something like that.  It's been over a year and we have a lot of new hoomans and furkids.  It might cheer us all up a bit to read about all of our furneices and furnephews!  What do you all think?

[Kelly]

I agree with you Terri! That way we can find out about everybody!

[DeeanDave]

I think that is a wonderful idea, Terri.  Since I'm home now, if you all want, I'd be willing to coordinate the names with the dates. Retirement is wonderful!!  Dee

[Teresa]

Sounds Wonderful! I can't wait to learn about our new people. What if you find one of the old Dog Of The Day pages and post it here so the new ones can see what we are talking about.
Here is a link to Schatzi's Dog of the Day page from last time to give the newcomers an idea of what it is all about. Now that we are in a house and not a condo, it will be fun to have some new answers to the questions.

Dee... I think it would be great if you could organize this!  Retirement has it's benefits!   :thumb:   If I remember correctly, Barb set up the schedule of days when we did this last time.  I think everyone just let her know if they wanted in or not.  I love the idea of new questions as well.  We could just add whatever is suggested.  This is going to be fun!!!!! 

[Kelly]

Count us in:Kelly,Blusky&Manny and 2 new ones Annie&Fritz!

[mrsmartinez]

Count Frida in!   

[Barb]

I think I actually set it up last time, but it was really easy. I just had people send me a PM or an email or respond to the post and give me their dogs names and the human names. I used a free software http://tinyurl.com/6ebsvx to sort the list randomly. Yeah! Fun Times!

Or if you are an excel wiz you can sort randomly by:
In column B (or other vacant adajcent column) insert the formula =rand() .
Then copy the formula down for the lenght of column A.
Then sort by the new column of random numbers, and you will have a randomly sorted list in Column A.

[DeeanDave]

Sounds like fun!  Setting this up will give me something fun and different to do.  I'll work on it and get something posted so folks can let me know who wants to participate.....and will think on some additiional/fun questions to add!  Thanks for the info, Kari!  I'll get something posted to get the word out -- meantime, folks can post here also and I'll start a list!  Dee

[Kari]

Thanks Dee! Count Penny in!

[TerriL]

We can also ask people to send ideas for additional questions to Dee or to post them! 
Sorry Kari ....  Aunty Barb is the Treat Box lady and you are the DOD lady!  I get confused!

The pupper paw count so far:

21 puppers times 4 paws per pupper equals 84 PAWS UP!
