    How offen do you comment on the DOTD,COTD orPOTD

    I've noticed that the amount of people who offer comments on each
    days pets has gone down. How often do you read or comment on them?
    Just curious.

    Liz I am not one of the folks who comments daily. Some pets really inspire me by their stories or beautiful pictures and on those pets I try to comment, although time constraints often cause me to hold back some days because I first view the Dog/Cat/Pet of the Day each morning before work and really shouldn't be on the computer in the first place at that time. If I posted for each pet each day all of my posts would begin to sound alike. I try to respond to the ones that *speak to me* and, with all of the PT members that we have nowadays, I trust that the pets that I miss might have inspired someone else's thoughtful comments. Hope I explained that OK.

    I post on usually only the dogs, if one has an especially cool story, or cute face I will comment. I think more people should comment, though. The more people comment, the better it makes the owners feel.

    I used to try to comment on them all. I do comment if one really catches my eye. I try to respond to POTD a lot more than the others especially when there's only 2 responses and it's evening already.

    I know this is really bad, but I only comment on the dogs I know from pt, have very touching stories, or are one of my favorite breeds.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    I comment ones that really catch my eye to, or that are from pettalk. Like Breanne, said it's bad and I hate not commenting them all, but they all are special!

    To tell the truth, I honestly rarely ever comment on any. I think I should make that a goal.. to comment on atleast the POTD.

    I used to post every day, but now it seems like I hardly have time to be on the computer at all

    I look at the cat of the day and read the comments, by the time I finish I find that someone else has said exactly (or almost) what I was going to say. Same with the cat photos in cat general, there just isn't time to comment on all of them, much as I'd like to.

    I never do for cats and pets (well, I think I have for cats once), but occasionally I'll post on the DOTD if I enjoyed the story, its a PT dog, if it really catches my eye, etc.

    Not often enough, I think. I try to comment on the Cats, but I don't always manage it. Sometimes I comment on the pet, if I see a cute guinea pig face looking at me, because the poor little pets never get many comments. I never comment on the dogs, for the reason that time is limited and I thought the dogs always got a lot of replies, but from what you say they are going down.

    Is that maybe a seasonal thing? More people on holiday at this time of the year (northern hemisphere people anyway), or do you think it is an ongoing trend?
