Rescued!

Well, imagine that! Dogster isn't closing the Community after all!   This is great news!  We love Dogster, and we were SO SAD when they said it would go away.  It's hard to know right now who rescued it, and how much of it they rescued, and whether evfurrything will stay the same.  And we're sorry that some of our pals have already packed up and pulled down their own pages.  Mommy felt like doing that sometimes, but just couldn't.  We kept hoping, and we kept pawraying, and we said we would stay and go down with the Dogster ship on March 3.  But now someone has put a cork in the hull, and we have more time.

We've learned some important lessons.  Like save evfurrything as you go, back-up all your photos and diaries, and collect off-Dogster addresses from all your pals if you can.  And some of our mommies and daddies have gone to work to make us new homes, like P4P and Pupsters and Kitsters.  We won't be leaving those, even if we spend most of our time at Dogster, just like we have been. 

Most of all, we were reminded how important evfurry one of our pals is, and how much smaller our world would be without all of you.  We were reminded how much we count on you being there, and how much we value your knowledge and experience and support, and the way you make us laugh, and the way you challenge us to be the best doggies (and doggie pawrents) we can be.  And we showed Say Media and the world that a real Community can nevfur be destroyed.  AroooOOOoooooOOOO!!!! fur US!!!

  3. We are very happy the community is staying, but will sit back and wait and see what changes will be coming our way. We now have our memories saved and that is important. Would really like to know who gave the infusion of much needed money to keep the Dogster/Catster community.

    We have found out how FURRY impawrtant this community is though and how severely we would miss it, all the other fun sites we have joined are not the same...no offense, Fizzy, we like your forum and the others too, as well as the blogs...but sheesh, Dogster...you know?

  5. There was always something in the back of Mommy's brain that kept saying something like this would happen. She kept shaking it out of her head and saying "No way" but it kept coming back. And now it happened!! I guess the question is what will everything look like? If you read the announcement they are not guaranteeing anything including whether or not or pages will be there. It is now just a waiting game. Some pups have left all ready and others have taken down some of their pages. Will the pups be willing to come back?? I am cautious. For now I am keeping my blog and just watching to see what happens. I am hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

  7. I think we need to be very careful with this latest news. I want to think our community pages are being saved, but who knows until everything is done.
