I got my mom a book on cat breeds to help her out with some of the details. There are some new breeds in there that I’ve never heard of. Apparently neither has Wikipedia. I think that’s kind of cool, that The Pet Wiki has stuff that isn’t in Wikipedia yet. If you want to […]
My mom found some new breeds of cats to write about, but we can’t find any pictures that are free to license. If anyone has any picture of a Cymric cat that they’d like to donate to a worth cause, please let me know. The pages of The Pet Wiki look so much better when we […]
We added an extension to The Pet Wiki which allows users to embed videos into the pages. I’ve started adding a few on some of the cat pages. Finding the videos is the time consuming part. It takes time to watch them to know if they are appropriate. Although the work is very time consuming, at least […]
I’m not sure how I feel about my mother putting her Rottweiler mix, Timo, through chemotherapy. We got the results from the biopsy, and they aren’t good. Tim has the worst kind of cancer possible. The dog is no longer happy. Since her leg was removed, she seems very depressed. She is no longer interested in […]

Sure, there are a ton of dog breeds out there. The last one that she added to The Pet Wiki, was the Tibetan Mastiff. It’s an animal that is used to guard whole villages. I’ve seen books that have over 300 hundred different breeds, and that didn’t include some of those newer breeds, like Papipoo […]
Since my mother has completed writing entries for the top 50 dog breeds, she’s had to come up with new things to write for The Pet Wiki. I have never heard of a dog called a Vizsla. She has. She’s written a very interesting page for them. If I hadn’t seen it on Wikipedia, I’m […]
In my Digital Storytelling course, they introduced me to Wordle. Here is the Wordle for this blog:
My mom has really been at it. She has writen all the base content for The Pet Wiki. If you want to know anything about a Talking Mynah, or a Ferret or a Kingsnake, her site is the place to go. What’s up next? She has started writing pages for dog pet care. After that, […]
Although the process seemed to take forever, the dog pictures have all been added. All the pictures on the site are either from the Creative Commons or are copyright free. There are places where you can buy images on line for a couple of dollars each, but if you want a lot of pictures, it […]
