I'm not sure if it's a user error or they've changed the character limit on blogs, but I'm unable to add to the original blog I've been writing you. There have been a lot of changes on the site and I'm not adjusting well. I've all but given up on playing. When I click on notices, the screen that comes up is so confusing I don't know what the notices are. I think Ian is trying to make the site look like social media. To me, everything looks like an ad, not a pet site. And there are hashtags and sharing to stories and I don't know what else. I can't figure it out. I play a pet site to get away from social media and now the social media elements are invading this space and it adds to my fatigue. I come on and do a few of the dailies. I was around for the birthday event, but just didn't play. I meant to do the birthday party grab bag thing at least once, but I forgot and it ended. Well, it's not totally due to the redesign of the site, I have gotten super busy irl this year. But the charm that kept me playing has mostly disappeared.

I hope you and your dogs are doing well. It would be great if you saw this one day and could actually give me an update on what you've been up to! ^_^
