We’re looking for the right single person to be interviewed on a daily TV show representing your Dogster colors! It’s a really big name show! The right person will be a very active Dogster user, someone looking for the right partner and loves their dog as much as anything in the world. If this is you, email steven at steven@dogster.com.
I wish we could invite everyone, but you’ll get an email back if you fit the dogscription they’re looking for! And we’ll post a message here when it is going to air!
First off did you know the Dr. Barchas’ name is pronounced like ‘Bark-us’. He’s just as serious and whimsical as we are! Woof!
Second off, Dr. Barchas has a new answer up about pet dental procedures. He is truly speaking the tooth.
Even though there have now been almost 100,000 votes cast in the Give Paw feature, we saw too often that since we have to always randomize the voting process some fluffies never got to be judged. So now we launched a special voting stroll called New Additions that will only show pets that have less than 3 votes as of that day. It’s found in the left nav with the other Paw items. Yippeee. Now even the newest additions can strut their stuff right away.
While we’re on the topic I thought I’d explain that voting is strictly for fun for those that want to be involved. Each person that posts a pet to the site has full control if they want their pet voted on, if they want their pet’s results to appear on their page or if they’d rather not see ratings on any page altogether. While some users love to give paw and vote everyday, others already know that every pet is a perfect five so there is no reason to even judge. It’s our way of saying “everyone deserves to get what they prefer”
How lucky are we? The amazing veterinarian Dr. Barchas, whose name is even a pet pun, will be answering a new member question each week. More than just a great vet he is a great person and we’re are definitely barking like mad he has joined us.
Read his column weekly and send in your questions!
We are thrilled to see how active everyone is with the new Forums. Have you seen them yet? Thousands of entries have been made in less than a month. New topics range from tips and tricks, to obedience to warm farewells. Keep on yak’in it up!
We had so much fun with the Mother’s Day Picture Stroll that we left it up for an extra week. The mothers deserve it. Over 1,900 fluffies joined in the party so it’s been quite a blast. We’ve taken down the main links, but as always if you joined the stroll there will be a permanent link to it from your pet’s page. Thanks moms!
First off, we want to thank you from the bottom of our fur for sending in all your votes for Dogster. Reading all the referals on their site as well as ours really meant so much to us and re-emboldened us to keep making this as great as we can. We did not win the People’s Voice award for our category, but closely reviewing the numbers I suspect overall Dogster got the second most votes for any website entered.
But puppy-love came through and the judges voted us the offical winner of the Community Category for 2005! Of all the community sites on the internet they judged our community the best! Really it’s more than a little mutt doggie can fathom. Thanks for all your support!
