Mart. I am an inactive member of one of the Facebook groups and they give terrible information. The one moderator will give an incorrect answer and and then close the thread so he or she has the final word. I have seen that several times.

I pulled this forum up on Google with no problem with Antique Shop Forum as my keywords. As an SEO writer I know that most people will not search that way. They will search antique value or whats my antique worth. Those key words will never pull the site up because they are not there. Using social media and back links is critical to SEO these days. If you have a blog that links to this site and people search topics on the blog, you will gain traffic.

Hi!  Not sure what happened but Ed got it fixed.  I imagine he is slammed working with all that is going on.

THANKS ED!  One less stresser!  :)

Hey Mart!  Sorry, been busy helping out family/friends/people/animals with food, supplies, etc.

FYI   Pet shelters are overflowing with pets.  There is the normal quota of animals BUT people are surrendering their pets for fear that they cant afford them/get food for them.  Several shelters in our area are begging for people to foster otherwise they will have to euthanize to even try and keep up.  Others are begging to any food to help out with the numbers.

Surely you are kidding KC ??  They spend the same each week no matter what !!  You can buy 50 lbs for $20. at your local feed store  and I can assure you that even with our bunch of hounds ( six to eight ) it will last almost a month !!

We haven't been able to get our dog's food until today I had to drive a ways to get it.  (We buy the giant bags as well but It has been back ordered already 2 weeks and stores around our area have been out due to hoarding.) 

Many people have lost their jobs and aren't sure how long this will go on.  So, they feel they are doing the best things for them/their pets.  The fear mongers on television/radio have caused such a panic. Soooooo sad.

Many of the smaller towns around our area have closed their shelters!  Fort Worth Animal Control is sending out alerts to all the lost/found sites for help with fostering and desperately needs food to accommodate the animals.  Dallas was sending out notices for fosters for large dogs (52) or they will have to eventually euthanize to make room.   

I have a friend that she/her husband run an international school in Wuhan, China.  She has kept a day-to-day account/diary on life through all of this.  Yesterday was the first day with no reported new cases!  Yippee!

Why doesn`t someone start a Gofundme page for  the shelters ??  Here you can find all the dog/cat food you want,,but don`t look  for toilet paper,tissue or paper towels  !!  Hey folks,, they still make that stuff !!

We are taking several giant bags of food next week to some shelters plus treats. 

My better half won't let me foster - says our two are enough of a hand full!  LOL  So, we are doing our part helping out. 

I will have to see if there are any GOFUNDME for local shelters.
