Today's Pets are Up

[phesina]

Thanks, Karen! No apologies necessary.

[Karen]

Our beloved and wise Sandra (tatsxxx11) made a suggestion, and I am going to follow it, despite initially rejecting it.

Today's Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up, late but up. But they will also be tomorrow's featured pets all day, so will have a day and a half of fame. December 12 into the 13th, and it seemed the best day for it, as some building skip floor #13 on their elevator buttons.

Then I will endeavor to prep things so the sites can again be updated in the morning, as they used to be, and do so going forward.

Besides my own recent hospitalization, we have been dealing with an unexpected death in the extended family, it being very very busy at the Post Office, where I am now working, and financial issues. So thinks got more and more behind. And also, we are getting fewer nominations, sadly.

I am glad to report that the hard drive which seemed to be dying has been completely recovered. Bless Paul, who all those years ago, purchased a Raid Array hard drive for me - which is several drives in one case. So only one drive had issues, and they were able to replace that one, and white the data to the other paired drives.

That necessitated my driving to Boston and back last Sunday. And I will be doing so tomorrow to retrieve the drive and 20+ years of photos, memories, etc., some of which was backed up, but some not.

Thanks for your support everyone. I am sorry for my failings, but am trying.

Hug someone you love today, as tomorrow is not promised.

Thank you, Karen.
This is still my favorite site, and things will pick up again!

We're with you, and here for you, Karen! Thank you so much for doing your best to keep Pet Talk up and running despite having to deal with SO many daunting challenges recently. And we'll try to better do our part too, especially in the area of recruiting nominees! And what a relief it must be, knowing that the hard drive is salvageable! (Thanks Paul!) As I wrote you earlier, my deepest sympathies on the passing of your extended family member. Just don't forget to take care of yourself, OK???
Love ya!!!

Thanks everyone. The page titles now say Friday, and I will schedule social media and then get on the road. Love you all!

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding. Was on the road much of the day yesterday, but managed a visit to a very dear elderly friend while I was in the Boston area, retrieved my old drive and all its data, and drove through a lot of fog, rain, and slick conditions, so getting home took much longer than expected, but I arrived safely. Set my alarm to post all the pets by 9 am, and managed all but the Pet of the Day, which, when I went to upload it, I realized Mulligan the kitten has "helped" with the coding so much I needed to redo the page! But that was posted by 9:20 as of course, my hand, mouse, and oems on my desk were as fascinating to a kitten today as they were last night!

Love you all.

Hi Karen, how are things coming with this? Sandra's suggestion is excellent.

Why don't you continue to prepare the new pages in the afternoon or whenever works best for you. Take whatever time you need, and then wait until the following morning to post them. Do it first thing when you get up, and then that's done!

That way each animal has a full calendar day that's his/hers. (And for myself, it works better for me to work on my responses about the new ones during the mornings.)

Thanks, and we are sending our best wishes wishes with it!

Thank you. I did that once, but fell back into the rhythm of getting them done in the afternoon after emergency trips to Boston for computer issues. Perhaps I will try again. I have been working on trying to get them up earlier each day, but do not always manage it, due to life's complicating factors. They were up today by 3 pm, but again, my apologies.

[phesina]

Thanks, Karen. More {{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~PURRRS~~~~ and from us!

Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up. They will also be tomorrow's honorees, and I will work on resetting my rhythm to get Sunday's up on time. Many contributing factors today.

How nice to meet them this morning! Thanks, Karen!
