News about Sit, Stay, Speak!
Dear readers and animal friends:
Thought I should give you a little advance notice...
This is the last week for Sit, Stay, Speak! The blog's final day (at least in its current incarnation) and my final post will be on Friday.
This decision was not made solely on the basis of readership numbers. Basically, the editors are looking to maximize our newsroom resources and, for now, it was felt it was best for me to concentrate on other things. My beats are aging issues and consumer news, so I'll still be bringing you updates on recalls, safety issues and companion animal trends in the Sun Sentinel. So stay in touch! You still can reach me at dlade@sunsentinel.com.
