Update from October 23, 2008

The main OCP site is back up and is basically the same as this one.  The adoptions page and the donations page are the same at both sites.  Thanks for your patience with these changes.

Update from October 14, 2008

Becky has been reading and answering your email while I have been busy learning how to move the web site and getting the actual site moved.  We are now about 6500 emails behind, down from the 47,000 in August.  Continue your patience with us during this move and catch up.

All donation and adoption information is current to September 2008.  We no longer show an adoption for you until you have begun sending coupons to the base.  If you discontinue sending coupons then your adoption will be removed.

Update from August 22, 2008

We have had a second physical move in a little over a year.  I know you may wonder why so many moves?  I am the OCP's only source of funding, which runs into the thousands of dollars most years.  As you may suspect, I must work to support our habit and am moving to follow my job.  As with all moves, there are difficulties and problems that one cannot plan for and in this last move we found the one place to live in St. Louis, MO where the internet access did not work for our application.  We apologize for the delays this has caused but we did not have access from Feb 2008 until Aug 2008.  I will be working on catching up the email and our web sites as quickly as possible but please keep in mind that I must work to pay for all of this also.

There were problems with our email bouncing because the folders at the server were full and we did not have access to our site to empty them.  We have now emptied the folders and the bouncing problems should go away.

Please note our contact information for snail mail and phone numbers has not yet changed.  I will go to Columbia, MO for mail once every two weeks until we can get a P.O. Box set up here in St. Louis.  The e-mail addresses for OCP have not changed and are listed at both web sites.

On August 22, OCP was about 47,000 emails behind.  I plan to read each and every one of them but if you have sent more than one on any one question or report, you may get more than one entry here or answer.

Thanks for your patience with us as we move and make these changes.
