Re Doghouse topic - often people come onto the forum asking the same questions on matters which are in need of standard answers. Over the years during which I've been an MN member I and others like me have repeated advice time and again to newcomers and novice dog owners. Examples of this are what to look for in a responsible dog rescue when thinking of adopting a pet and what to do if a member finds a stray.
Please would it be possible for us to have a couple of "Stickies" so that this advice can be easily accessed in order that incorrect and potentially damaging information isn't inadvertantly offered and so that those with basic questions aren't ignored or lost in MNs fast-moving forums?
I don't profess to be an expert nor am I asking to be allowed to have free reign or sole right to write those Stickies but as a rescuer with a fair bit of experience I feel that I could help, along with many others on the Doghouse, to provide accurate, helpful information. It wouldn't only save our aching hands from typing the same things out week in week out and boring other users but would also be helpful in allowing those with standard queries to quickly obtain solid advice (and sometimes the legal position on dog welfare/strays/dog warden responsibilities and limits etc) when those of us who know how to guide other users aren't online.
Thank you for your consideration,
Val
