Happy birthday to us! That’s right, baby. We’re two years old today. Two years of unmitigated observations about our world, unleashed on the internet for all to enjoy … or ignore, whichever they prefer.

To celebrate chickenmonkeydog’s two year anniversary, the editors have once again sent our foreign correspondent out into the field!

Conall has been assigned a base of Bangalore, but has been tasked with seeking out the quirkiness all over India.  If any of you fine readers happen to be in India between now and July, definitely drop Conall a note at chickenmonkeydog [at] gmail [dot] com and maybe you can meet up.

We wish you all the best as we dive right into Year Three of sharing quirkiness on chickenmonkeydog! Thanks for all your wonderful support, readership and, of course, comments!

A brand new animal?

The chickenmonkeydog community has been growing by leaps and bounds recently – more readers, more comments, more postcard submissions, more guest posts and so it seems the right time to add a new author!

Can you guess who is the new writer?

With four authors now bringing the world to you, you might be wondering … will they need to add another animal? Are the chicken, the monkey, and the dog simply symbolic?

chickenmonkeydog welcomes our new author and is happy that our community continues to grow! We’re very happy to have you all involved – and we love that you contribute so fruitfully with comments and pictures submitted to our email!

While we’re clucking, screeching and barking to welcome the new author, how about a shout out from you to welcome to our newbie? Come on, let us hear you shout!

CMD Nightmare

I had my first nightmare about chickenmonkeydog.com last weekend.  In my dream, I had missed a deadline.  In a panic, I then ran around desperately trying to find something worth taking a picture of and creating a post.  There was nothing suitable to be found, so I crafted an angst-ridden email and sent it to the editors.

Dear Editors,

I realize that I did not submit any material for this week.  I have absolutely no ideas for a post.  In addition, I believe my last few posts to be sub-par.  I think this is a sign that I can no longer be a part of the team.  My life is clearly not conducive to coming across weird things on a regular basis.  The pressure is too great each week.  Please accept my resignation, and thank you for posting what I have done thus far.

The nightmare was so vivid that I spent the next day frequently checking Gmail waiting to see if any reply emails appeared because I couldn’t be sure it was only a dream…

Greetings Chickenmonkeydogians,

Today, 17 June 2009, marks the one year anniversary of our daily posts. Sure, the blog celebrated its first birthday in January of this year, but it was on this day in 2008 that the editors decided to kick chickenmonkeydog up a notch and publish every Monday through Friday, come rain or shine or web server outage.

We certainly hope that you’ve enjoyed our posts and we thank you for submitting content for our guest posts. We are very grateful for your many comments (1,382 to date) and for your regular readership. You’ve made a fun, creative project very rewarding for us.

As we look back over the year, we wonder which was your personal favourite post? Please do let us know via the comments.

And as we march ahead into our second year of daily posts, what would you like to see us add? What could we do differently or better?

As always, we aim to please you, our dear readers, wherever you may be in the world.

Sincerely,

The Editors
