Site Change
WordsWithWieners.com has officially changed to DachshundRescueList.com. Blogging was something I was finding harder and harder to keep up with, so I almost decided to let go of the site entirely. As you can see, there hasn’t been a blog post published in a very long time. However, I was still receiving a lot of visitors to the list of Dachshund rescues, as well as a few other particular posts and pages; so I decided I wanted to keep the site around as a resource. Since the wieners and I aren’t too wordy anymore, it didn’t really make any sense to keep the site name as it was. I figured I might as well rename it to match the purpose it serves, so I did. As far as I know, the rescue list is the most comprehensive list on the internet… unless someone copies and pastes it and uses it elsewhere. I admit that would make me pretty upset, as I spent a lot of time compiling it. The rescue list is now the home page, and the blog posts are here on another page as more of an afterthought, rather than the focus. I’m not saying we’ll never write a post again; I’m sure that we’ll peck out a few words here and there, but now there’s no pressure to.
Thanks so much for visiting, and I want to definitely make it clear that even though I’m not actively writing blog posts, I am still here and I still answer every email I receive. I also still read and keep up with a lot of other blogs… I’m just a quiet little mouse and don’t usually leave a comment.
Hey…I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I think it’s great that you followed your heart and changed your site to suit your needs. Still helping dogs, without the headaches of trying to keep up a blog when your heart is no longer in it. Wonderful of you not to close up the site completely. Hope it helps lots of Dachshunds find their forever homes!
Awww, Donna! Thanks so much! It means a lot, especially coming from you. I just couldn’t keep up with blogging because I couldn’t find a place where I felt comfortable. I wasn’t blogging for me… I was attempting to blog for others… and that was a mistake. It felt disingenuous and I just couldn’t stick with it. But no, I just couldn’t bear to take the site down completely. Maybe someday I’ll start writing again… what I want, when I want… and not worry about trying to impress anyone.
P.S. I don’t know if you’ll even come back to read this… but if you do… just wanted to let you know that one of our kiddos is doing nosework classes right now. Just finished the beginners class and we will continue with the intermediate and the advanced. He LOVES it and is very good, one of the best in his class. He is our resident shy sensitive guy, and it has helped so much with his confidence. So thanks for inspiring that with your nosework series!
