Delay in adding pages to the site

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:32:43 GMT

Hi Everyone This is just a quick note to let you know that I am around to answer your messages, post your pages etc but I've stopped adding new info pages to the site for a little while as as well as being rather ill, my cat Geoffrey passed away unexpectedly on my lap on Sunday night. She was 15 and a half years old and had been ill just before Christmas, but had made a full recovery so it really wasn't something I was expecting, not for a few years anyway. I was in the process of adding some pages about my current pets to the site, but now I'll be adding her page to the my experiences pages unfortunately. I'm getting a custom urn made for her and hope to share photos of that with you when it arrives. Warmest Regards Bunny

Changes to the Site

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:02:21 GMT

Hi Everyone This is just a short message to let you know that I have been busy this week making several changes to the site in the Your Pet Loss Stories area. As we grow and more stories are submitted it became harder for Visitors to find the stories they were looking for, that related to their own experiences of pet loss. It has always been my intention for this site to be a library of experience and for Visitors to help and be helped. I have spent several weeks developing a way of allowing visitors to find information as quickly as possible. So over this weekend I have divided the Your Pet Loss Stories area into 'Cat Stories', 'Dog Stories' and 'All Other Pet Stories' pages. I have also then divided up the cat and dog pages into alphabetical sections by pet name. This will mean that if you have submitted a story in the past, the page address may be different, but you should be able to find your story under your pet's name. If you have any difficulty whatsoever though please contact me and I will find it for you. I have also added a Search This Site page which will allow you to search just within the Pet Loss Matters site and I am currently building new pages which will list Your Pet Loss Stories according to the cause of loss, which will hopefully help those who have suffered perhaps a sudden and unexpected loss find stories more closely related to their own experiences. I hope to have these pages added this week and all these changes will hopefully help to improve your experience of this site. Warmest Regards Bunny xxxxx
