Welcome to the very first edition of Tell ‘Em Tuesdays! Every Tuesday, this site will give you a prompt to check in with a friend or loved one. We provide the starter message, as a text or an email. You customize it and send it off. Easy!
Tell ‘Em Tuesdays is a free service of The Loyal Order of Prairie Dogs, a membership organization based in Philadelphia, PA. You can join The Prairie Dogs for free at prairiedogs.us. That way, you can receive our Town Gazette email every Tuesday, which will remind you about Tell ‘Em Tuesdays.
We will start today with the text message option; the email option follows below.
This week’s text message says:
Hey, friend! Just want to let you know that I’m thinking of you and feeling grateful for you.
Now, let’s get ready to send it…
First: When you tap the link below, your phone might ask you if you want to open “sms” in an external application – go ahead! That’s how it switches over to your Messages app.
When the message opens, you will then need to add your recipient, replacing the number 1 on the “To” line, and you can change the wording as you wish.
Ready? If you are on your phone, tap here to open a new text message with this week’s words automagically filled in.

Would you rather send an email instead of a text? We’ve got you. Here is this week’s email text:
Hey, friend!
Just a quick note to say that Iām thinking of you today, and feeling grateful for you.
Warm regards, Your Name
A quick heads up: If you tap the email link on your phone, your phone might ask you if you want to open “your default email app” – go ahead! That’s how your phone hands off from this screen to the new email. It’s just watching out for you.
Now, are you ready? On your phone or computer, tap or click here to open a new email message with this week’s words automagically filled in. You will need to add a recipient address, and you can change the words as you wish, including your own name. š
That’s it! Have a great week.
