A new direction .....

 Wednesday 17th November 2021                                                                  

Hello to all readers of the English Blog. 

First, many apologies for the lack of posts in the last few weeks. As you will know, we have a splendid new website, which is still having last minute tweaks and fixes. So please bear with us.

As to the English Blog. It's still here - currently called Ace Doggie Blog, though that might change. (Suggestions for a new name are welcome!) You'll find it under 'News and Stories', and eventually there will be a link on the front page. 

However, there will be some changes. As you can see many of the stories and posts - e.g. Fabienne's Diary, In Memoriam, Fabienne's Dog of the Week, Happy Endings (stories from happy adopters and their beloved dogs and cats) etc. -  now all appear on the main website, and are in Dutch and English (depending on which version of the website you are looking at). So whereas, formerly, these were incorporated into the English Blog (translated mostly from the Dutch Blog), there is now no need to simply repeat these in the English Blog.

Instead it will go back to being more like it was in the beginning, ten years ago. With a mix of specially written stories and articles and information. It gives us the opportunity to highlight certain dogs and cats, for instance our long stayers. Darling dogs and some cats who, although totally deserving of every happiness, for some reason are overlooked. Black dogs and cats also deserve a special mention and I will hope to write some articles about the history of black animals, and the reasons they have unfortunately got such an unfortunate reputation. 

Among this new material will be information  about fundraising activities, articles for sale for the benefit of our dogs and cats etc. The aim is to make sure everything is accessible to our English speaking readers, but only if it's not available elsewhere on the website.

There will not be as many posts as before, with so many of the essential stories now on the main website. However, until the all the links are active, I will try to include some of these for the time being.

Please bear with me as I get myself up to speed. There will be more stories and information hopefully by the end of the week. So watch this space ... and thank you.
