He is 3 now, and due for a bath this morning after our walk as we are off to the groomer this afternoon. ( If I do the bathing it costs half what it would otherwise) I love the look of Ginger in the sidebar. I would love more dog pics/stories. xFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576715462615744934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-5748051743277760712016-11-24T03:26:12.017-05:002016-11-24T03:26:12.017-05:00I also came from another blog after reading your c...I also came from another blog after reading your comments. As you can see I don't blog myself, but I look forward to catching up with my " friends" while I eat my breakfast.

You are a kind and lovely person, Jennifer! You always have a nice, kind word for everyone. You are intelligent and have a lovely sense of humour which I love!<br />For all this I mention and for all the above you write; that is why I am here.<br />Greetings Maria xxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525028325800849416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-90119011367427831912016-11-24T02:35:48.255-05:002016-11-24T02:35:48.255-05:00Like you, Jennifer, I do not always agree with wha...Like you, Jennifer, I do not always agree with what I read on other people's blogs (just like they probably don't like everything I write). Sometimes I choose to voice my opinion in a comment, but more often than not, I admit to shying possible conflict and just keep my mouth shut. On my own blog, I usually avoid the three "no-nos": Sex, religion and politics. The one time I did have a remotely political post (reviewing "The Audacity of Hope", Barack Obama's great book I still love), I had someone real crazy comment. That person was not a follower of my blog, and I didn't want him or her to be one!<br /><br />People stop following blogs for many reasons. Sometimes, like angryparsnip says, it is not even their doing but a bug of blogger itself. Sometimes, like I have done in the past, we unfollow because we find we have taken on too many, and do a spring cleaning of our reading list. I have stopped reading a handful of blogs over the past year or so because all they were on about was promoting companies (I don't believe in getting paid for your personal blog) or stuff that does not interest me (such as crafting and nothing else - very nice and commendable, but not my world).<br /><br />Have I told those people that and why I was going to unfollow? No, I'm afraid not. Some have stopped following me and I'll never know why, but I don't really mind - it's a free (?) world :-)<br /><br />Your blog is great, and if anyone stops reading it because of difference of opinion, that's their problem, not yours. My advice to you is to forget about the un-followers and be happy about the many good people who DO read your blog, and are your friends!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-72613190244611282132016-11-24T00:10:26.267-05:002016-11-24T00:10:26.267-05:00The only people I've had to 'unfollow'...The only people I've had to 'unfollow' (2) have been religious maniacs.
