As many readers know, about two months ago, someone or something caused The AAS WatchDog News to mysteriously cause our server to crash. Various "fixes" have been tried, and this is our latest.

There's a lot of catching-up to do and we look forward you to you helping us to make the WatchDog the place to go for local, national, and global stories of interest.

We also really like personal stories, ones that you write. You can insert a photo yourself if it is on any website by putting the photo's URL at the bottom of the Post Message box in the Optional Image URL field.

If the photos are not on a website, send your post with photos attached (only jpgs please)to us at animaladvocates@telus.net and we will insert them into your post.
