About this time in April, ten years ago, a group of canine Cushing’s parents from around the world were working sooooooo hard behind the scenes to prepare k9cushings.com for its official public “launch.” Years earlier, we had first formed a family on another website. Without explanation, one day the site owner shut down that forum and left us stunned, heartbroken and homeless. Out of the goodness of her heart, Natalie, your owner/administrator of k9diabetes.com, provided us with a temporary home and the opportunity to regroup. In essence, Natalie saved us! The postings from our time spent with all of you still remain as an archived forum here on K9D.
But after a ton of learning and experimenting, regrouping is exactly what we did! On May 20, 2009, k9cushings.com posted our official “Welcome” and opened our doors to all Cushparents, everywhere. At that moment, our temporary home here was shuttered, but our gratitude forever remains. And our relationship with K9D is still unbroken. Throughout the years, our two forums have “shared” a number of dual diagnosis dogs who have suffered from both diabetes and Cushing’s.
Time marches on, and many of our precious pups are now beside us in spirit only. Understandably, folks have moved on with their lives. But we’re hoping that perhaps some of our old friends who still remain here on K9D will return and post a note on our reunion thread. Share a memory, share a smile, shed a tear. Most of all, to honor all our dogs and their bravery.
So please, any K9C “alumni” who may read this post, please feel free to join us on our reunion thread and add a note. We’d love to see you, and to share some memories! Here’s the link:
