Sometimes I read a post and I think it is hilarious, but just saying, "Oh, wow! That was hilarious!" doesn't exactly convey all that I feel. Then I have the dilemma of either not commenting and having them think I haven't read it or lame-commenting. I choose lame because I want them to know that all their hard work was not for naught.<br /><br /><a href="http://thewellfedspirit.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">the well fed spirit</a> <br /><a href="http://abitchcalledmom.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">a bitch called mom</a>Dr. McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785824680618255554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-212887540644701359.post-47421504009601070772011-01-21T00:16:13.817-08:002011-01-21T00:16:13.817-08:00Thanks for the beautiful comment, Stephanie,
&quo...Thanks for the beautiful comment, Stephanie,<br /><br />"Mr. Grey." What a great name for a cat. I mentioned Orca being protective? One of his brothers (Tora), was not quite blind, but almost. He was born that way, and he and Orca were inseparable. Orca used to actually nudge him around. One day, I finally figured out that cats, unlike dogs, do not really grasp "pack," but wow, oh wow do they understand "family."<br /><br />I appreciate you explaining Scooby's last moments. That scene just broke me up. I have lived that. Perfect, that the vet came to your house.<br /><br />As far as the blog reviews, I'm really re-thinking my strategy. People's feelings matter to me. I respect yours, so fear not.Richard G.

I only...I'm sad to hear about Tully (and Orca). I only ever let Mr. Grey out in the small fenced rear yard. He was also blind, so I was uber-protective of him.<br /><br />It hurts so bad to lose pets. Thanks for your comment on my Scooby post. In the video clip you mentioned, I was giving her last treat to her, just before the vet came to euthanize her, at home, on her bed.<br /><br />The clip of her walking along the sidewalk was also the same day, her final walk.<br /><br />I felt it was important to include her last moments - the things I knew made her happy.<br /><br />As for reviewing my blog... I am slightly afraid of what you may say or identify. I am one fragile bird.<br /><br />But, alas, the blogging world is really open to anything and everything. I just don't take to criticism too well... even if I am the first person to make fun of myself.<br /><br />I guess go nuts, if you want to.StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990131434281226939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-212887540644701359.post-52535896738622058272011-01-15T20:33:46.340-08:002011-01-15T20:33:46.340-08:00permission granted, yes :-)permission granted, yes :-)Andrea L.

First, thanks for the go ahead.
Second, ...Hi Zak,<br /><br />First, thanks for the go ahead.<br /><br />Second, glad to hear your dad is keeping on. I trust he has some days better than others?<br /><br />Third, thanks for remembering Tully. He was much beloved by everyone who knew him. Orca, the other cat I mentioned, so named because his markings were like a killer whale and had a personality to match, though affectionate to me, was a jealous guy, but he was amazingly protective of his two brothers. He lived a long time, yet like Tully, died a warrior's death.<br /><br />It is difficult to be a cat. I try to offer them a safe haven, but I will not stop them from going out. I love those hunting kinds.Richard G.

We all know of course that this is all about YOU and us, the bloggers. What else could there be?
