You should follow up if you can. A lot of people grieve about their pets for a long time. They don't seem to move past the actual loss.
I have noticed people printing threads. I am not sure why. Some people do not like to read from a computer screen. Posts with pictures or long involved discussions would make sense, but some things people print out leave me wondering.

I really do understand printing out a web page. There are many people especially older people who don't have computers. My aunt is one of them. I tried to encourage her gently to get a laptop but by her own admission, she's not very good with a light bulb, so maybe the challenges of learning the internet would stress her a lot. She is a technophobe. I remember it stressed me when I first started, even though it was a new adventure. But she doesn't want any "new adventures" LOL!
I tell her about web pages I've seen, which I know would interest her. Sometimes I wish I had a printer for that reason only. But it's extra expense.

I printed pages when I first used a computer because I was using other people's computers. I still did it when I first got my own computer. Now I wonder why I did it.
I have noticed quite a few people printing pages. I can't think of any other reason to do it.
A printer is nice, but the ink is very expensive. Unless you need something fancy a cheaper black and white printer would do. You probably don't have a lot of reason for printing. Usually you can email something to yourself and get it printed out somewhere else. It certainly would save money.
I sometimes have to print things for work so I do need a printer.
