I have received the magazine for several years. I need to change the mailing address but can not find a form to do so online. How do I go about it?

i'd like to have links to all the articles in the current issue so I can send them to buyers and associates. Most pubs have web versions but yours isn't too robust - yet.

Good Day,

Sandy Robins wrote a story on us in your MAY ISSUE under DOG MARKET PLACE I think but we have not had the opportunity to review the story she wrote in your issue as we are not subscribed to your magazine. Our company name is Poochie Kingdom and we specialize in haute-couture luxury raincoats for pooches around the globe. Is there any way we can obtain a copy as well as your corporate logo that we can upload on our site advertising your magazine under MEDIA like we do with all the other magazines?

Your prompt attention to this request is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Tara Brown - Owner/Designer
