When we got online our background was missing. So were a number of your blog headers and photos. We couldn't see our background so figured Blogger must have somehow deleted it, so we deleted it from Picasa, and all Thursday we saw a white background. Last night we finally thought to right click and we found out all the missing photos around the blogs were being blocked by our antivirus. Evidently when we updated yesterday morning, a setting was changed and it was kind of hard to see some photos because they might harm our computer. Say what? .
This morning we heard from the av company, made a slight change and suddenly on our blog we were looking at a black background with big triangles and an exclamation point in the middles. (Means missing photo, we think.) So, what did you see when you looked at our blog yesterday - a white background or a weird black one?
We were going to write the above and then just post what we'd already finished below. But then we had some very sad news!
Posted on Facebook, "The Lord has called our dear friend Claudette Hudson home today." Even though we knew this day was coming, reading the words was a shock.
Claudette Hudson and Rocky.
This photo was used for Claudette's 2010 Livestrong post. She's also used it for her birthday and for a FB profile photo, so we don't think she would mind us sharing it here to honor her - a Christian, a dog blogger, an animal lover, a cancer fighter for several years, and a friend to all. Even when she was unable to keep up the Hudson Furkids blog, she kept up with friends on FB and helped others as she could.
She was loving and courageous. And she will most definitely be missed! Rest in peace, dear Claudette.
We know that's a lot of bad news at one time, but that's the way this week has gone.
We are sad to hear about Claudette and 3 perf...and of course sweet Parker and Pixie. We are purring for all of them.

Such awful news around this week and a week of very horrible sadness. My heart goes out to the families and I send love their way.

So sad about Claudette and 3 Perf. we're purring for Parker and Pixie.
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news about 3 Perf. We didn't know Claudette, but still are sad to hear this...purrs to her family.
ReplyDeleteSpitty the Kitty was having similar problems earlier this week where he couldn't see his own blog pictures and the pictures on other blogs. Only Blogger blogs were affected. He found out that his anti-virus company for some reason put Blogger on its bad list and blocked it. They have since corrected this and everything is back to normal (we think). But no explanation as to why the AV did this.
It is all so sad. Praying for Claudette's family, as well as the families of the others. It is just such a sad day.
ReplyDeleteOh so sad to read about your friend Claudette. Deepest sympathies to her family.
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs to Pixie and Parker.
Me and Charlie have been over to Perf's blog too - very sad! take care

ReplyDeleteI still regret for not going to New York last summer for DWB's meeting.
I could have met Claudette and other dog lovers and bloggers there.
Rest in peace Claudette. You'll be dearly missed.
Run free 3 Perf's.
Thanks you for posting the news.

That's a whole lot of sads. We are sending purrs to efurry Human and Kitty who needs them. Nosetaps all around.
ReplyDeleteSo much sadness, so much sadness. But, we should also remember that these were lives that should be celebrated because without them our world would be a little less loving.

ReplyDeleteI thought bad news only came in threes. Some of this bad news needs to be sent back. :-(

ReplyDeleteSo Much sadness. Purrs and Prayers to Claudette's family in their time of grief. We didn't know 3 Perf but purrs and prayers for them also. And of course we pray that Parker and Pixie will have a miracle happen with their healing. Our loves and hugs to all.
