I was once owned by a cat for 16-1/2 years and as much as I loved her, I never let her once sleep in bed with me...that was the only place off limits to her! (lol) I'm popping over again today from the Road Trip.<br /><br /><a href="http://entrepreneurialgoddess.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneurial Goddess</a>B~Natrellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800485465550884113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-38181040309962230632015-05-24T11:41:57.898-06:002015-05-24T11:41:57.898-06:00Just now getting around to visiting the blogs in t...Just now getting around to visiting the blogs in the challenge.

Not sure I will at this late date. Having just finished the challenge I feel worn out and don't think I would do it again. I don't care much for rules and it was hard to put other subjects aside to stick to the format of the challenge. While it was only one extra day of blogging a week for me it felt like a whole lot more because I did research for each post which I don't normally do. I couldn't wait to have my computer free weekends back.<br /><br />I also found the same thing you and Live and Learn did, there weren't many blogs with material for the challenge that were of interest to me.

Kudos to you for a job well done. <br /><br />I tried to check out some of the other A to Z blogs, as well, but I had the same problem you did--it was hard to locate blogs of interest to me--so after a few tries, I gave up. <br /><br />Glad Princess seems to be rallying, at least somewhat. Add me to the list of people for whom your little cartoon hits home! Our cat is banished to the basement at night because I value my sleep and if he sleeps with me, he wakes me constantly.

I love the goat photo :) I am glad I found you thru the challenge, but I agree it was hard to find blogs of interest.

And I'm glad that you found some good in the blog challenge. As a non-blogger, I have a lot of respect for you bloggers. Even occasional blogging seems like quite a chore, and I appreciate those who do it. As for myself, I am pleased that I read your blog everyday and commented almost everyday (I think I missed once or twice). I may have mentioned before that I'm a social introvert - even on the interweb, but I figured if you could post everyday, the least I could do was read and comment. You're helping me break my lurking habit : )Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948800298547471988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-65728760352832654542015-05-08T04:19:45.262-06:002015-05-08T04:19:45.262-06:00You brought up a good point about the timing of th...You brought up a good point about the timing of the challenge. Maybe January would be a better time--after the holidays but before spring when there's so much to do outside. I too gave attention to the challenge when my time might have been better used elsewhere.<br /><br />It sounds like Princess is rallying. Hope you can find the right combination of things for her. The good news here is that we're trying a new medicine that seems to helping Lucky, one of my cats. He had lost 2 lbs, but has gained back a couple of ounces in just a couple of weeks. More tests to follow, but I'm encouraged.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
