Creative DUers! I need a name for a newsletter!

[Lisa0825]

I am suggesting to our director tomorrow that we start sending out a monthly newsletter for Whiskerville Animal Sanctuary, to keep people thinking about us. There are lots of words for newspapers, like Gazette, sun, post, tribune, herald, etc. I can't think of anything that sounds particularly good with Whiskerville, though. Any creative suggestions?

1. Whiskerville Words.

I dunno. :shrug:

[Lisa0825]

3. LOL! No offense, but that sounds really dull!lol (nt)

[Lisa0825]

5. OK, it was boring, but it inspired me.... what do you think of....

The Whiskerville Woofer!

[graywarrior]

2. Whiskerville Wildlife Wrapper

or Whiskerville Wildlife Monthly

[Lisa0825]

4. That's cute! Thanks! (nt)

[Generic Brad]

6. Windows to Whiskerville

This is fun. Got any more?

[Lisa0825]

8. I like it!

I was planning on showing the suggestions to the director and letting her choose, but I am thinking maybe we should send it out to our mailing list for a vote!

[graywarrior]

9. That's what we did for the newsletter I designed for a non-profit.

7. Wiskerville Wildlife Watch

[Lisa0825]

10. Anything with wildlife in the name should have.....

an image of our animals partying...

Our webteam after a couple beers


Prairie Dog Lara Jo in her Howl-o-ween costume


Summer guarding the beer cooler...


Lara Jo after "one too many"


Higgins after "one too many" (cats have a tendency to overdo it)

[graywarrior]

11. In that case

[Lisa0825]

14. I LOVE IT!!!!!

Another feature I want to add is a weekly "Furkids' Funnies." I saved that pic for it!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

12. Hey, I know...Whiskerville Gone Wild!

[Lisa0825]

15. LMAO!

It's all women who keep it runnin' so I am not sure how it would go over with them!LOL

[marzipanni]

13. I looked at the website...

How about the Whiskerville Paw Print ? ....."All the mews (& woofs) fit to print" ;)

[Lisa0825]

16. Very cute! I like it!

I was thinking of something with woof in it, but I couldn't quite get it. Yours works! And it is cute, but really WORKS as a newsletter title! Thanks! :pals:

[Floogeldy]

17. Whippoorwill

;)

[Lisa0825]

19. Whiskerville Whippoorwill... that's catchy!

And I am sure the kitties would LOVE for us to provide birdies!

[Floogeldy]

21. That is what I was thinking!

The Whiskerville Whippoorwill.

whippoorwill >noun a North and Central American nightjar with a distinctive call.
-ORIGIN imitative of its call.

Perhaps the newsletter can be a "calling." ;)

[Lisa0825]

22. I remember the first time I heard one after knowing the name...

suddenly it sounded EXACTLY like it was calling out "whip poor will," and I had never heard it so clearly before... I was about 6 years old then.

18. Critter Chatter

[Lisa0825]

20. ANOTHER good one!!!!

Thanks!

See, I KNEW if I posted here I would get too many good suggestions to choose from! I'm going to HAVE TO do a contest for the title!

[izzybeans]

23. Whisker's Whispers

[Lisa0825]

25. cute! cute! cute!

It reminds me of Chance, one of my fosters, who likes to sniff in my ear! :rofl:

Thanks for the suggestion! You will be in our contest!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

24. The Cat's Meow

:shrug:

[Lisa0825]

26. Personally, *I* love it...

and so would our director, but we kinda have some friction between our cat folks and dog folks already, so I have the feeling they would STRONGLY object.

But thank you for the suggestion, and if we ever go 100% feline, that will be purr-fect!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. Just goes to show ya cat folk are superior

I don't see what the argument is.

(Yes, I'm just kidding.) :evilgrin:

[Lisa0825]

28. LOL!

I go out of my way to make sure I take good care of the dog people on our site and the other I deal with, but never even get a thank-you from them... meanwhile, it usually takes a minimum of a few days to a week for them to make any cat changes to the websites they handle (it took WEEKS for them to remove a kitty who had died despite repeated reminders)... But I try to always look at it as - I am doing soemthing good for the DOGGIES, not that I am doing something for a person who doesn't appreciate what I do.

edited to add:

DISCLAIMER: This in no way reflects on dogs or all dog people. It is simply a conflict on a personal level. I still wuv the doggies too!

29. Whiskerville Shave (in the shave sense of "touching lightly" on the news)

[Lisa0825]

30. Hmmmm.....

Jimmy might go for that!

[qnr]

32. whoa... Jimmy would make a decent feather duster stand-in n/t

[marzipanni]

35. LOL- the little black kitty in the crate seems to be eyeing Jimmy

and thinking, "they took Jimmy to the other room, I heard a funny buzzing sound, and he comes back in looking like the lion king. What's up with that?"

[Mendocino]

31. Whiskerville Wag

Or Wagger perhaps?

[Lisa0825]

37. CUTE!

And the dog folks will love it!

[rug]

33. Whiskerville Underground.

[Lisa0825]

36. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl: :spray:

[havocmom]

34. Whiskerville Bark

Or:
The Whiskerville Howl

[Lisa0825]

38. That makes me think of a movie scene...

101 Dalmations, when the dogs send a message by barking all through the towns until it gets to where the stolen doggies were.

[Lisa0825]

39. Thanks for all the great suggestions!

I am going to be out of town, and without internet all weekend, so I won't be able to reply again if anyone submits another one.

Thanks so much! I knew I'd get great ideas here!
