Just opened a renewal notice from The Whole Dog Journal to renew my subscription - it doesn't end until May 2010. Checking the calendar I see that we are still in December 2009 so I have at least 4 or 5 months before I will feel the pain of not receiving the monthly issue. Lets see - they sent the notice and a few other pieces of paper along with a no postage necessary return envelope. Total waste of time and paper. So I wrote the info on the renewal slip and put all the papers into the self addressed no postage necessary envelope and mailed it back to them.
Truth be told, I would rather just have a subscription to this magazine on line only. I don't need to keep collecting all these little booklets that I read once and tidily put in a notebook - in chronological order no less. I have tried to find articles that I thought I had read and haven't been able to find them in my neat and tidy notebooks. Would be much easier to just search on line at their site - even if I had to pay to do this and I wouldn't mind doing that.
They are not the only ones sending these renewal notices so far in the future that I begin to think that maybe they think I'm senile and don't keep track of when my subscriptions end. Must admit that isn't one of the first things I think of in the morning or the last thing at night but I do occasionally look at the address label and it is right there - right there for anyone to see!!
