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...

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER: We now have a vet in the family

As most of you know, Shosh is the eldest of my two darling step-daughters and an occasional bloggo contributor. I have just received a telephone call from Corinna who went down to Hatfield to be with her today:

Shosh has passed her final Veterinary Examinations (with a merit), and as soon as she graduates will be a fully-fledged vet. Those of you who met her friends Becky and Aurelia at the last couple of Weird Weekends, will be glad to know that they, too have passed! Well done girls!

I am feeling ridiculously emotional about this, and am trying not to blub. I love both my step-daughters very much and could not have been prouder of darling Shoshannah at this moment if she had been my own flesh and blood!

Congratulations Shoshannah and also to Becky and Aurelia.
You ladies are now on the road to making your fortunes. At least you are if you follow the path my former vet trod.
He passed his exams, worked in a practice then bought a partnership. He then bought the other vet out and after a while opened a second practice across town. After a few years he sold both practices and retired in his early forties.
