Subject: <Dachsie World> Where is everyone?

 

I don't want to sound mean but – where is everyone? Last month there were TEN posts! There is probably some impact from Facebook – which I do not use, but not to this extent

 

In May 2006 there was 6200+ posts! Yes that is 6 years ago but is still a massive decrease.  I own Yahoo other groups and understand that all memberships are not still live but one has to think that there are 2000 people still getting whatever emails there are sent . I run an email list for my South Jersey Dachshund Club and average 5+ posts a week – a lot more if there is an event coming up. There are 90 people in the membership.

 

I say the same thing at times on my list but – where are the happy stories and funny photos? Why is this group all but dead? I stop in here a few times a week and – nothing.

 

Warning – the following may not be popular with some members but…. From my perspective this could be a contributing factor to the groups decreased activity.

 

Please believe me when I say I am NOT criticizing Rescue or trying to offend anyone in ANY way. For those that are involved in Rescue, you are doing something that I just do not have the emotional capacity to handle. You are absolutely a much stronger and better person than I am.

 

There were times I would stop in here looking for my Doxie funny photo fix and have a laugh. But the list was completely dominated with Rescue posts forwarded many times. There was no balance of "light and happy" and Rescue posts. Again I understand the reason for it, but the chance of you catching anyone wanting a Doxie at that second is pretty slim. If someone wants a Doxie they usually seek out and get it. We now have 3 Doxies and are FULL – hopefully with a long time of healthy happy doggies.

 

Balance is good. Reboot and move on. I will show you some of my funny photos if you show me yours.

 

 

 

Thank You
