    This is very cool

    We can block ignorant posts, or posters, and we seem to be having so much fun finding our way around that no one is fighting.  And, we haven't seen an aggressive dog post in days.  I guess our dogs are getting along better, too!!!  Either that or the owners haven't left their computers in days...

    heheh... I'm slow; it took me a long time to find/figure out the new board!

    where should I start a post about the new Ohio appeals court ruling overturning BSL???

    Hehe, very funny Spiritdogs :) Personally though I will try hard not to ignore or block anyone. It is a quick-fix, and I do not like those, no matter if its for dogs or for humans (and perfect training to handle any form of aggression calmly! Priceless I say [:D] ).

    I concur, this moving did not go smooth - and I am happy it was not just me who needed two days finding out what is going on (basically needed an admin email to get me onto the right page here, but then I am pretty new to this, so maybe I just lack the proper experience). Somehow I think this could have been handled better, so for instance with a forwarding cue popping up when one loads the old page.

    Anyhow, lets hope that all those still missing have some good tracking hound at their disposal! [:D]

    BSL info usually gets posted in Advocacy.

    Perhaps an email could go out at this point for the MIA members??  With instructions on how to get here and how to get ON here??  Someone pointed out when I said maybe they couldn't email 18,000 members that spammers email hundreds of thousands at a time, so I guess it could be done......

    I just found you guys!!  Very excited to be back - I was really confused for days...

    That's a great idea, Glenda.  It just dawned on me that I haven't seen Ashlea since the new board got up and running and she used to post a lot.  If someone has her regular e-mail maybe we could find out if she's having problems with the new format.

    Opps.  Forgot to tell everyone.  Ashlea can't get on idog for some reason.  I forwarded her email to Joel and Jaime hoping that they could get her straight.  She did ask that I let everyone know that she's thinking of them!  And trying to get back.  Yikes, I've got such a rotten memory!  Sorry.

    Oh I wish that were the case!!  I have bought the muzzle, but I haven't had the strength to use it on him.  I have frequented the dog park at quiet hours and kept a diligent eye out for passers-by.  I apply a long lead when I see someone, sometimes he bolts after the person but I call him back to me, and so far on the lead he has had nearly perfect recall.  I'm hoping we are making progress and it sure seems that way.  I just can't go to the park during peak hours and mindlessly chat with everyone else anymore.
