Follow up.... Monday?

Geez, I suck at this follow up stuff.

Actually, since I was watching the manhunt that shut down all of Boston and most of its immediate suburbs on Friday, a follow up never entered my mind. However, I do have a bunch of house-keeping items to address and thought tonight would be a good time to get that in.

First up on the agenda, have you heard about the Pet Blogger Mall yet? A few very industrious bloggers have set themselves to work creating a great space for the creative types among us bloggers to hawk their wares. (They're making a website that will feature pet bloggers who sell stuff.)

The target date for the Mall opening is July 2013, but a blog is up and you can subscribe via email to make sure you don't miss out on any important updates.

Next, I wanted to give everyone a brief update about Bella's health. For those just joining us, Bella re-awakened an old injury last September and we've been battling it ever since. Essentially she has the equivalent of a human's torn rotator cuff that we were hopeful would ease up with restricted activity and rehab.

It didn't so we have tried a number of things to make her feel better and able to run and jump again but it has been disappointing and frustrating. We have most recently taken her to one of the best neurologists in Boston to make sure we weren't missing anything, verify the diagnosis was correct and come up with a treatment plan. Last Tuesday, we took Bella back into Boston for a second procedure to try and heal her up. So far, so good. But we're still in the wait and see stage. We have been weighing our options on what to do next if this doesn't work.

Finally, I'm hoping to get my act together and start posting more than just pictures in the next few weeks. I've got some reviews coming up, some causes I want to talk about and most of all, lots of Bella updates waiting to get out of my head and onto paper er, empty white space... I'm going to get out and about to visit you all to check in on your pups and other critters and I'm also making plans for BlogPaws! (I just have to finish this unreasonably scoped project for work first... Eek.)

So, that's all the news that fit to print today. Thanks for bearing with me last week. And be sure to hop on over to the Pet Blogger Mall and sign up to keep posted on all the goings on and we'll see you back here soon.
