Comments on POTD/DOTD/COTD...?

[Karen]

Thank you, Kay! I appreciate it!

[Alysser]

I really never reply to POTD, DOTD, or COTD. COTD I never reply to, though. I am rarely on the cat side. I will try and reply to them. It's a simple, easy way to make someones day a little bit better. Thanks for the reminder, Kay.

I've gotten lots of notes from people who's animals were the POTD or COTD. It really means a lot to people. I'm always touched when they take time to thank me for posting.
I'm guilty of hardly going to the DOTD. I will try to mend my ways.

Have you really? I very rarely have seen any kind of acknowledgment anywhere, unless they are PT animals. I am not saying that to be nasty; I just came to think that the people who submitted their pets forgot about the entry and never knew their pet was selected. I go through spurts where I try to post as much as I can, but then I really start thinking that my time can be better spent posting on threads where the people whose pet it is will actually see it.

Yes, I do get them from time to time. Here is the most recent:
Hello! thank-you very much for saying such sweet things about Leroi, COTD on 07-06-07! She says hi and thank-you! ,LeroiLover

Lots of people whose pets are featured look, as I tell them to check out Pet talk and "Today's Pet" forum for example, and are touched by the comments, even if they don't join and post.

There is only one reply to Today's Dog and it is already afternoon here on the East Coast. I feel sorry for this pup's humans.

Yes, MOFF, I have gotten PMs too from owners who wanted to thank me for my comments.

I hope we all can do a little better in the future.

EDIT: Two posts now. Thank you Sandra!

One thing is that Pet/Cat/Dog of the day don't get many replies anymore, but the height of lazyness is when a member start a thread for one of them, that is already there. One thread may get 6 replies and the other 4 - that is plain stupid!

I know that I used to reply a lot to COTD but now I rarely make it over there because I just don't have the time or I forget. I know that's not a good excuse. I feel bad for the cats that don't receive many replies.

I agree with Kay and think it is a real pity.

I am the first one who could do better but I do try to post whenever I log on.

Another thing that really hurts is when there are posts about people's birthdays in General that get few or NO responses at all.

I posted a Happy Birthday thread yesterday about a dear friend of mine and it didn't even get one reply...

So much for my trying to convince her to come back to PT because "she is missed" and post pictures of her kitty.

Oh well...

Same for me. And I feel very guilty when I read the nice stories and I see the cute pictures... while not even posting a few words !
I really liked receiving many posts when my kitty was COTD. I did not register immediately to PT but I started reading the threads and after some time I became a PT member...probably due to the comments I received that day!
I'll try to do better, thanks for reminding it!
