Cotton on Comments and Kodiak

Hey, this is Cotton. For a while I thought you'd have to take my word for it since Blogger wouldn't post my picture. And suddenly it posted my photo three times (yes, three, but better than the 28 or whatever we had to delete one day).

Anyway, I have some news and a request for those who use Blogger and some sad news of a friend.

After all the work Milo and Alfie did to organize Livestrong Day among us furry bloggers, they were frustrated to the max yesterday trying to leave comments on blogs to thank others for participating.  They finally had to give up.

So yesterday we put a message directly above our posts and since it will come down eventually, we're going to put the information in this post too.  We are not having a problem leaving comments, but many are.  So, please, if your Blogger blog is not using popup comments, we implore you to change your comment form.

To help other bloggers -

That's it, you're done.  And many a blogger will thank you!


We were stunned to learn about the handsome Kodiak of the Thundering Herd yesterday.  He had to be helped to the bridge Sunday.  No one ever expects to have a dog collapse while away from home on vacation, but that's what happened while Kodiak was walking on the beach Friday.  Suddenly he couldn't walk and had to be carried.  He was a Sibe (Siberian Husky), big and heavy to pick up.  He was to a vet as fast as they could get him to one. 

It's a very sad story and you can read about it on The Thundering Herd blog, as well as leave a word of comfort.

And hug your furry (furries) today.  There is no guarantee we'll still have them tomorrow.

    We have heard others say that blogger is no longer supporting Internet explorer. We use firefox and have no problems.

    We were deeply saddened by the crossing of Kodiak. So sudden, so very sad.

    Yup looks like we are going to switch over to firefox due to the IE issue.

    We are very sad to hear about Kodiak. I will hug my dogs a little tighter tonight.

    We are so sorry to hear about Kodiak, wow Madi posted about a Golden Retriever who died while out on a walk -- it was so sudden and completely unexpected, two nearly identical stories. Wow. You are so right about not knowing from one day to the next what life holds for you.
    We will go over and give our purrs to Kodiak's family.

    One other thing I wanted to let you know Jan, you probably already know but Blogger recently said that they would no longer support anything but users having the latest browsers completely updated. So that may be why so many are all of a sudden having problems. It is worth a try to update their browsers. (all of this is because of Google+)

    Like we told you before, we have problems leaving comments on some blogs when we use Internet Explorer. When we use Google Chrome, we have no problem. But we like using IE better, so we hope the blogs we are having problems with, change their comment format. Thanks for providing that info.

    We were also very sad to hear about Kodiak. We went over and left our condolences with his family. So sad....

    We heard about dear Kodiak this morning and left a message for his folks. It's hard enough when a loss is expected, but when it happens so suddenly, it's devastating. Yes, everyone will get extra hugs today.

    Since you have a pop up box we can comment. Thank you so much for highlighting this problem.
    We use internet explorer and that could be the problem ~ but I don't want to change to firefox etc or it will mean changing many things I have already set up.
    I am srsly thinking about closing Milo and Alfie's blog and opening a FB page for them instead. I've posted about it today.
    Thank you again.

    Thanks for the blogger update. I changed mine a few months ago when people were having problems leaving comments on Truffle's site. I hope everyone can get there now.
