Somerville Dog Owners Group (som|dog)

To the readers of the Weekly Dig: welcome to the somerville dog weblog, and thank you for your interest in the Somerville Dog Owners Group (som|dog)! For historical reasons, the url for the som|dog website is www.somervilledog.com/somdog. If you have a message and are looking for the online message board for dog owners (Somerville's first, albeit virtual, dog park), the url is www.somervilledog.com/board.

To everyone who has been telling me that the somervilledog.com url should really be the homepage of the Somerville Dog Owners Group: you were right; I was wrong...

To everyone who works so hard with me in the Somerville Dog Owners Group: Out of respect for your privacy, I won't list your names here, but know that I know that, without you, the talented Jed Gottlieb would have had no story about "Fighting for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of squirrels" for the Weekly Dig.

message board cracked

The Somerville Dog Owners Group Forum, the first, albeit virtual, dog park in Somerville, MA, was cracked recently. I apologize to all for the inconvenience, for which, due to my failure to upgrade the board software to the latest version, I take full responsibility.

With a lot of help from the the technical support staff at WestHost, I have upgraded the board to the latest version and have gotten the board and most of the data back online.

If you are one of sixteen people who registered on the message board between May 29 and September 5, 2005, I regret that your user profile, including your username, has been lost. Also, at least one post to the board—hilby's request for recommendations for local pet-sitting services— was lost. Again, I am very sorry about the loss of data. I hope everyone whose username was lost will register again, and I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy using the message board.

som|dog website

The som|dog website is now "live," and I have moved some information from this weblog to that site. For example, the link to the local weather forecast from Weather Underground is now on the som|dog information page. The links to other dog owner groups as well as the links to websites providing information about starting a dog park are now in the bibliography, located under som|dog resources. I have also moved the link to the Somerville Dog Owners Group message board to the som|dog homepage.

The som|dog logo on the blog homepage links to the som|dog website.

Soon I will be adding information about past (and upcoming) som|dog meetings to the som|dog events page. You can still find the agendas and summaries of past meetings on the message board.

Speaking of som|dog meetings, the first som|dog meeting of 2005 will be rescheduled soon. The meeting previously scheduled for January 24, 2005 was postponed due to a snow emergency. I had been waiting to reschedule the meeting until the Green Line meeting was reschduled. The Green Line meeting has been rescheduled for to Monday, February 28, 2005 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Somerville High School.
