WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

PRUDENCE IS UNWELL

Although we have only had her a week, Prudence has become firmly attached to us, and we are incredibly fond of her.

However, there is a problem. There have started to be small amounts of blood in her urine, and although this is most likely to be a urinary tract infection, after what happened to Biggles we are very paranoid about doggy illnesses at the moment.

Keep her (and us) in your thoughts and prayers to whichever deity you believe in, and we shall keep you posted....

Poor Prudence.

I hope she will be doing well soon.

I love boxer and bulldog-type dogs, and I always will.

Remember, Prudence, that your ancestors were the Alaunt dogs who followed the Alani out of the Caucasus as Goths began to raid the Roman Empire.

Your kin are the Alano dogs of Spain, which the conquistadors used to subdue the Americas and the Caribbean.

Your more immediate ancestors worked in Medieval butcher shops and slaughterhouses, where the custom was to have dogs fight a cow before it was killed. In those days, cattle roamed the countryside and their flesh was quite tough. A dog was needed to work the cattle over to tenderize them a bit.

Your even more immediate ancestors would participate in bull-baiting contests in both the German-speaking word and in Britain.

You come from tough stock.

Just remember that and things will go well.
