  1. I too enjoyed the print issue. My copies went into a notebook for quick reference. But I understand that times are changing and we must do what we can to preserve natures trees, our natural resources and conserve energy. Now instead of putting these in a notebook I move them into a folder in my email storage. I can flip right to the issues I want.
    Please keep up the work you do . ♥️🐾♥️

  2. I too am a 2-decade WDJ subscriber. I agree with Charlotte’s comment. I loved the print issues but digital works fine. I file them in a folder, no problem.

    Loved this article, from one of my favorite authors. Great ideas both commercial and DIY. I willing be trying some come spring! Thanks you.

  3. I absolutely agree with all that has been said. I much prefer the print version.
    I have all the issues dating back to the very first one and used to recommend the WDJ to students, but just can’t any more.
    I will not be renewing my subscription and it really breaks my heart.

  4. I prefer the print version as well, but I know that makes me a dinosaur. I too will probably not renew when my subscription is complete. I also have notebooks filled with the printed issues that are used for reference.

  5. Whole Dog Journal has provided me excellent information over many years. I, too, am somewhat unhappy about the disappearance of the print edition. However, I’ll continue to support the newsletter. Where else can I find top quality, intelligent advice for such a small price? I’ll find a way to save the articles relevant to my situation.
