Alpo Lapdog Computer.

Hi there, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!  My fictional human, Gary and I, do so hope you enjoyed the weekend interludes we pawsted.  We did switch off comments because we knew you might be one of those busy commenting on that alternative challenge to the Alphabark Challenge, 2014!  Thus, we just wanted you, whether you were doing the A to Z or not, to have some nice, relaxing moments at this site.

Barking of commenting.  Start again, speaking of commenting, my poor human struggles to keep up with commenting.  He begged somebody to send him a cloning machine.  No luck.  He asked the wee folks who live in our magical garden to maybe help.  No luck.  They're too busy packing up their mushroom houses in prepawration for the move to my fictional human's new home.

Fictional Gary left me to pawnder the pawsiblities.  I think I might have a solution to help him keep up with his commenting.  When he moves to his new home, I shall come over and help him by commenting on sites using my very own computer.  I'm going to pawchase an Alpo lapdog computer.  This should make it a whole lot easier for my fictional human, Gary.  Pawblem solved, pawhaps...

Gary was telling me he went to a "laptop dancing club."  I have no idea what he's talking about.  I can't imagine a laptop dancing.
Now it's time for a well deserved doggy nap.  The hectic life of being a doggy diva and forever avoiding the pesky puparazzi, can take its toll.

    1. Hi human, Robin,

      Pawsitive pawblem solving, pawhaps. I am a good dog. Arf!

      I think Gary must of been making it up about a laptop dancing club. He is rather strange at the best of times!

      Thank you, human, Robin.

  2. Your own computer, Penny, now there's a great idea. You could pawst whenever you wanted then, however I would avoid the laptop dancing club.

    My best wishes to you and your fictional human.

  3. Being a dog is extremely exhausting. I'm looking at my three right now and they are all sound asleep! Each one in a spot of their own, snuggled up tight, as if it were for the night and it's not even four in the afternoon! Silly dogs.

    No worries about Gary commenting over at my place. This human doesn't work that way. I visit because I want to, not because I expect one in return. Enjoy your nap, Penny.

    1. Hi Elsie,

      Ah yes, we dogs need plenty of naps. That way, we can be energised and look after you humans :)

      My pawsting had been with my doggy tongue placed firmly in my doggy cheek :) We both know we get here and there whenever. We visit, like you, when we want to. No pressure, just a dog messing about here.

      Thank you, human Elsie.

  4. I think you got it right, Penny. Tell Gary to not stress over the move. It's okay to relax when he needs to. Maybe you could move over and give him some room on that chair!

    1. Hi The Happy Whisk,

      Of course, the comments were off because I realised a lot of them were obsessed with the alphabet. Thought it might be nice to give them a bit of a breather over here. This was a satirical pawsting. My human and I have had this blog site for over seven years and we have loads of fun.

  14. Dear Penny, I don't follow even half as many blogs as Gary does, yet I have trouble keeping up with commenting too. Some of the blogs I read have so many comments and I have to read each one to make sure I'm not saying exactly the same thing.
    I hope Gary's move goes well, without too much fuss and bother. Has he remembered to pack a separate box of kitchen stuff so he can have a cuppa as soon as he arrives?
    I LOVE the new header photo.

    1. Dear human, River,

      Gary or I, don't follow a huge amount of blogs. We do make sure that the blogs we follow are ones we want to follow. Commenting can be a rather difficult balancing act. And yes, one has to try and not be repeating what somebody else has said.

      Thanks for you nice words in regards to his move. He will be just fine. I know the last box to be packed will be kitchen stuff. And the first box to be opened will be the kitchen stuff.

      Glad you love the new header photo, my kind human friend.

      Of course, not everybody lives in North America. My human, pretend or otherwise, made mention of pounds sticking out of the keyboard :)

      You can have readers from those sites who accumulate readers and yet, never respond or comment on other sites. Okay, I'll send some your way. They can read all about you.

      I'm looking forward to pawchasing my very own Alpo lapdog computer :) I'm truly delighted that the last pawst and the new header could give you a sense of tranquillity. You understood the pawsitive intention :) Seriously, dear lady, this pawst was tongue-in-cheek. I try so hard to make it seem that way. Might have to write in a slightly different way. My pretend human and I have loads of fun. The only time we get anywhere near stressed is when folks get involved in that alphabet challenge. Must not let that challenge ever bother us again. We have had a blog for over seven years and we are most happy with the pawsitive interaction we share.

  38. Dearest Penny,
    I appreciate your kind initiative in assisting you wonderful human, our dear Gary. I do have a suggestion. While it is really sweet of him to respond to each comment right here, I will admit that I rarely go back to an old post to read what he wrote. I know, bad visitor, but it does take time.
    My suggestion would be to either make strings of responses, as some of his fans like Hilary, another lovely Brit, or Alex, who really ought to share his cloning machine.
    Or, the thoughtful return visits he makes certainly do make a response to the comment - showing that he cares to read what they have to say also. I know he does this because I see his comments everywhere I go.
    Besides, when he turns off comments, that does not deter me. I have his email...and our email conversations are a precious gift to me.
    He understands my mental afflictions and offers such gently, yet timely and wise suggestion for how to pull myself out of the much of depression.

    Regardless of what he decides, the blogging experience should not cause him stress - that should be avoided. Please give him my warmest regards,
    I love and friendship,
    Tina @ Life is Good

      I understand and that might well mean you don't read this comment :)

      Your suggestion is gratefully read. My human and I have considered doing just that. We have changed the notation in the comment section that we may now have to give shortened or group thank you's. We have tried to give the personal touch by responding to each blogger. Time and logistics are now starting to overwhelm us. So yes, we need to find a balance that works for us.

      We both adore your emails, Tina. Yep, even when we switch off comments, no stopping you! :)

      Seriously, you know that my human, pretend or otherwise and I, work a lot in the background. The most important thing is the gifts of empathy. Gary and I feel comfort in knowing that when we help you, we help ourselves. The goes way beyond the blog.

      The blogging experience only causes him stress during your A to Z Challenge. Must work through that one, my dear human friend.

  42. Hi Penny. I'm glad you have confirmed that Gary is fictional. Frankly I always suspected some was a bit odd about him. Fancy creating a fictional person just so that he can post and say some outrageous things. It's shocking!

    1. Hi human, bazza,

      I thought you had already realised that Gary was fictional. I cannot imagine a real human being a strange as him. Yes, what a great way for my fictional human to be totally outrageous. Of course, this amazing dog could never be outrageous.

      A 200th pawst? Superb and yes, this here dog will come and celebrate and maybe have a crap or something.

    2. Penny, I would consider it an honour if you came and did your 'business' at my Blog!

  43. I wonder if I could teach Katie Cat to handle some of my computer tasks. She certainly likes to steal my chair with the comfy cushion when I leave the room.

    1. Hi human, Patricia,

      Cats are a little slow when it comes to computing. Although, her stealing your chair with the comfy cushion might be a precursor to her learning how to paw on the peeboard :)

      Indeed and after seven years, we mostly have a happy balance. Thank you for your kind words, my human friend. I shall visit Gary and help him with his writing.

  45. I want one of those cloning machines too. And a bank of superspeed computers. Oh, and the fastest internet in the world. That's not asking too much is it? How else could I effectively manage blogs fests 24/7 365 days a year?

    1. Hi Lee,

      We know of somebody who has a cloning machine, don't we. You and I both relate to computers that are slower than a parked car. And superfast broadband, the stuff of dreams. We both know that going via Google+ can take ten years just to load up. We need to get you several extremely fast computers, my human friend. The more blog hops and fests you create, the more followers you accumulate.

      Penny, your cordial host of the Alphabark Challenge,2014!

  46. Yeah it can be hard to keep up with comments when you're moving. I know, because I went through the same in November. :-)

    1. Hi human, Blue,

      A round of appaws for you and yours. That pretend human of mine needs all the help he can get. Yes, laptop dancing. I'm sure you know all about dancing laptops, my esteemed human friend. See you over at Farcebark!

  48. An Alpo Lapdog Computer sounds like the perfect solution! Many of us are behind in commenting, so join the pawty -- but there will be no laptop dancing allowed. You never know where those things have been...

    1. Hi human, Lexa,

      Yes, that and some bones, um, clones. Would you be behind in commenting because of that fanatical alphabet pawty, pawhaps....Do laptop dancers get to places they shouldn't go?

  50. I have a hard time keeping up with comments too, but I try. And I know you and that goofy Gary do your very best, and I always know your comments are from the heart. Quality trumps quantity.

    1. Hi human, Elizabeth,

      I know how much you try to keep up with comments. I know how you endeavour to comment back to each person or animal. Right now, your reply comments on your latest pawst are coming through on my email account.

      My fictional goofy human and I sure do our best to leave hopefully quality comments whether here or there, or there, or here....or....

      Thank you, dear human.

  51. Penny, you're defintely the cutest dog! :) I so know how Gary feels, sometimes it's really hard to keep up with blogging when real life kicks in...but the blogging family is an important family so I try to make as much time as possible. Can't wait to read more from both of you! Have a wonderful weekend :)

    1. Hi human, Beate,

      Why, thank you, dear human. It can be a real struggle and finding a balance can be difficult. Indeed, life outside in the garden can get in the way. That's a good thing as nature calls me :) My human and I believe that there's much to embrace in the pawsitive ideals of a sharing, caring blogging community. A powerful force for the good.

      I have a pawst after this pawst, if you you so desire to read it. Wishing you a lovely weekend and hey, congrats! :)

  52. I agree with keeping up to comments look at me days behind in catching up. I worked like two non scheduled days during A-Z and got ten behind I don't understand it. I do agree on taking a nap which is what the Chihuahua is doing right now. She is one lucky dog. :)

    1. Hi Gossip_Grl,

      Oh yeah, keeping up with comments can be quite the time consuming situation. Considering we didn't do that alternative to Alphabark Challenge, we have tried our best to comment on that A to Z. A nap would be great right about now. I do thank you for taking the time to backtrack to this pawsting.

      Happy napping to your beloved Chihuahua :) Happy napping to you, my dear human friend.

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
