More Administration Appointments

 
 Hello Blogville Citizens!! 
I can't believe all of the volunteers who have stepped up to confirm or create new pawsitions on the 2017 Blogville Administration!!  Before I announce the new Directors and Managers, I wanted to let you know that YOU can also be a part of the 2017 Blogville Administration by leaving me a comment with the pawsition you are interested in, or emailing my assistant (aka Mama) at 
bethblog (at) ebchristians (dot) com! If you held a pawsition in the previous administration, and you would like to renew it, just let me know!




Also, I know the 2017 Blogville Pawlice Chief  Murphy and Sheriff Stanley are looking for a "Few Good Paws" to help keep Blogville safe! Click HERE to read more!!  
Training starts soon!!

Now, let's announce our newest confirmed Administration Directors!

 I am pleased to announce that Casey has accepted the pawsition of 
Blogville's Emergency Services Manager. Casey will work closely with Law Enforcement to insure Blogville's safety!!



 Louis has graciously volunteered to be the Director of Arts and Entertainment!



 Easy will remain the Headmaster of the Blogville Academy of Comportment!



 Kinley and Brinley will be joining Finley in keeping Blogville up to date on the latest fashion trends!!



 Wyatt agreed to stay Director of Agriculture!



 Jakey will be giving further artistic advice as 
Director of Artistic Services!



 Sweet William will keep spinning the tunes as
Music Professor!



 After some training, Jessie is ready to take on the role of Director of All Furiends in Furrever Homes.



 Shyla will kepp her pawsition as Director of Wildlife Studies, be sure to visit her to learn all about the great outdoors!



Bertie will continue to share his scientific studies with us as 
Director  of Scientific Studies. We believe he may be promoted as soon as he finishes his Pee-hd!!



Remember, leave a comment or email if you would like to re-confirm your pawsition or if you would like to create a new Department!! My assistant and I are working on a 2017Administration page. When we finish, we will be updating the current Blogville Census!



Now, although I am here, and very busy napping and playing with Nanny Ally working, we have given Mama the week off. She will be traveling to see Grandma and Grandaddy and our Uncle's Cowboy and Rocky in Texas. Rumor is they are also going to watch trains.  We are not sure WHY they find trains more fun than us but, they ARE human and who knows what goes on in their little human minds.
  Anyways, we will be reading bloggies, but may not get to comment as much as usual. Things will get back to normal after Mama returns next Saturday.
