New Years Wishes- Thanks, and Goodbye
On January 21 last year I posted my first blog on petside.com. Since that time it has been my sincere pleasure to bring you great edu-tainment about the cats, dogs and other animals we celebrate in our lives.
I've tried to write posts to be funny, serious, uplifting, sad, irreverent and sometimes outrageous--I learned a lot, and I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have.
Today is my last petside.com blog post. Other work commitments, including some exciting and challenging new directions coming in the new year, make it impossible for me to continue with the daily petside.com blog but I hope to contribute an ">article now and then.

Meanwhile, you can always drop me a line via my website at http://www.shojai.com, subscribe to the free email newsletter, listen to my Pet Peeves radio podcasts at petliferadio.com, check out one of my books from the library, maybe even meet at one of my appearances, or at MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, or or or...
Yes, maybe I have overextended myself. *s*
I am sure that the next purr-son to fill this spot will receive just as warm a tail-wagging welcome as I received. The entire staff at PetSide.com, and the other writers--many my colleagues and friends--have been a joy to work with, and I look forward to future collaboration.

So until we meet another time and place-- Thank you for welcoming me into your extended family.
Y'all pet your fur-kids for me. Love them. Educate yourselves for them. And trust yourself to do what's best for them. It's what we're meant to do.
