imported_Kat Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I'm still waiting to get my proper domain name but Sander has it hosted on his server for now, so you can all review it and tell me what you think! There are still niggly bits that I'm working on, but if there are any obvious spelling mistakes then please tell me! I'm quite excited at launching my new business :D [url]http://www.sand-box.nl/~propaws/[/url] Quote

Smooshie Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Great looking site Kat :D Best of luck with the new Business! Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I love your site, Kat! Not too cluttered and not too empty. Very clear and its really easy to find what your looking for. Well done! :D Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 Thank you all for the constructive comments! :D The pic on the front page is working now thankfully and I realy am pleased as to how well it has turned out. Its the first proper website that I've made so I'm satisfied :D Quote

You were working at a veterinary surgery when you were 11-12 years old? I find that highly doubtful and a little bs Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I'm getting the Page cant be displayed message Quote

I don't know what laws are over in Ireland, but I wouldn't doubt that a vet clinic might hire a kid to help them clean kennels, walk dogs, or other menial tasks that would allow a kid to get experience while not actually doing any vet work.

imported_Kat Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Staffy: actually its not BS. I started working at Archbold veterinary surgery in Lisburn , N,Ireland at the age of 11 and a half years old in June 1992 as a summer job. My Dad and I were there one evening with one of our past cats Jessica who was being treated for bowel cancer. That night the vet who runs a sole practice was complaining that he had no staff that night and was very busy. My Dad said if he needed help then this lassie (pointing to me) would love to get hands on practice with animals. For the first month I wasn't paid anything. My first Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 good site but you need to make contact with non-computer people too maybe some flyers in local shop windows Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Hey Mouse yep I have a lot of posters designed in dutch as well as my own business cards made. I spent most of Friday watching Bailey sober up from being neutered while cutting up 200 business cards! My plans for this coming week are to place posters in vets, pet shops, dog clubs, supermarkets, animal shelters. I'm going to a fair tomorrow in Amsterdam too for expats so I'll be bringing some cards with me to give out if there is the opportunity. :wink: Quote
courtnek Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 very nice Kat!! I have never seen your picture before, and I FLIPPED when I opened your site. You look almost exactly like my sons girlfriend!! (who I suspect will eventually become my daughter-in-law) I had to do a bunch of triple takes!! :o :lol: :o :lol: the site is very clean, easy to navigate, and fun to look at. Here in the States, as a general rule, you cant "officially" start working until you're 15, with a workers permit, but there are always some exceptions. farmers kids, kids who's parents own the clininc, or the store, will often let their children work as early as 11. So really, Staffy, there was no reason to insinuate Kat was lieing. She's in Ireland, and their laws may be quite different from ours. Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Great Site Kat! And I see my little girl Sassy as a puppy made it :D Quote
Malamum Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Excellent site Kat! You should be really proud of it. Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 It let me view it! Great site!!!!!! Very nice! Quote
drjeffrock Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Kewl site. Woo-hoo, Dex is an internet celeb! I will have to email my friend the link, as his weim is in the photo with Dex. I like the layout, it looks great. Way to go Kat! Quote
BuddysMom Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 This is a wonderful site. Easy to navigate and very clean!! A suggested edit, from your Welcome page, instead of: Hi, my name is Kat Nicholl and I am a 23-year-old female originally from Northern Ireland but now living in Groningen with my partner How about simply: Hi, my name is Kat Nicholl. I am originally from Northern Ireland and now living in Groningen. Quote
__crazy_canine__ Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Nice site! Just a tip, not trying to annoy you or anything :wink: but you really need to have credit for the pictures. You could get sued if youre not careful about that! :o Just trying to be helpful because I wouldnt want anything bad to happen with that! Oh and I agree about the possibility to work in a vets office at 11. I almost did, of course it would be volunteer work for me but still. Quote
