If someone comments, I answer and I pay them a visit as well. I blog because it's my way of journaling and plus I enjoy that it's there for others to read, if they so desire. <br />I'm sorry to hear about Jiggs. I hope he does bounce back. Give him a hug for me. Take care and congratulations on 80,000....I'm sure it's more by now. :DGlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-12755070157178503892009-08-18T17:53:59.453-05:002009-08-18T17:53:59.453-05:00I don't remember which path led me to this blo...I don't remember which path led me to this blog but I am glad I followed it.

He has developed some internal bleeding that the veterinarian attributes to an infection. But he is not very interested in eating or walking right now.
