That's no pup. That's a retired greyhound. (Right?) And none too young. (Right?) Sweet looking dog, s/he looks loved.
One suggestion (made with love and support): Go back to your site tomorrow with fresh eyes and proof read. Have the person that did NOT type it in do the dirty work - they'll catch more. I noticed a few (rather minor) glitches. What can I say, that's what I do for a living.... {shrug} You do want to put your best foot forward, though.
Gosh I wish I lived closer, I'd go riding with you...Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Thanks for the feedback on proof reading. Trust me, I am more than willing to take that type of feedback (positive/negative about content, grammar, etc). I'm definitely a math minded person, so grammar is a weak point and like you said, we want to put our best foot forward!

I was hoping you'd be OK with it. People tend to kill the messenger on things like that. So often I'm the messenger.Trust me, I am more than willing to take that type of feedback (positive/negative about content, grammar, etc).
Anyway, I do like your site. The layout is understandable to me. And I still wish I lived closer...Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Wishing you much luck to both you and your husband. I think it is great that you were able to make a dream come to a reality. I look forward to hearing the updates.

Hey Salsa,
From this side of the world and downunder, BEST WISHES!!!
How cool to be able to work in an area that you're passionate about. I think it's also very sensible that you're staying in your job, while you're establishing the business. I also own a small business, and am an accountant as well. The important thing is to make sure you have access to capital (so stay on good terms with your bank manager!), and watch your cash flow. It's the bane of all small businesses esp in the beginning.
BTW, I love the website, and the functionality, ie to be able to book a service, reviews, and the bike riding group is a definite winner.
Good luck!!!!
