I have always wondered !! :rolleyes:

How did you find this wonderful forum??

I found it by accident. My sister told me about a strange "monkey" in someones car. The owner of the monkey told her what "kind" it was, and , she forwarded an e-mail to me.

Yes, it was one from "Pet of the Day"--

I called her, telling her, Hey!!! There is also a Cat of the Day, and , A , Dog of the Day!!!!


Anyway, I used to just click onto, "Dog of the Day", (in my favorites :rolleyes: ) but, never clicked onto "Pet Talk" , UNTIL, My daughter -in-law , encouraged me to register!!!!

Oh well, the rest is History!!!!!! I am addicted !!!!!! :D

I honestly don't remember. :o
I think.. it might of been DOTD, and me submitting Ethan as an entry, maybe. Then finding the forums soon after.
I'm very unsure about that, though...

Just browsing dog breed pictures in google and I kept finding a bunch with a thing in the corner saying dog of the day
so being curious I ventured into the PT world.
And became a memeber:)

It started a couple of years or so ago when my mom wanted a new home page for her computer.

I did a search on "Cat Pictures", and up came a picture of COTD - a wee kitten who had died very very young after being saved...she was SO cute!

That led to finding Cat of the Day, and Mom loves it.

It was a while before I ventured into Pet Talk...I remember Gary's vivid siggy and wondering just who this whole bunch was! :D

Just animal crazy people like me! :)

My sister Carollyn (amoore) told me about it. As soon as I visited, I joined that very day. It didn't take long for me to see that I loved this place and the people here.

I was looking at Toller pictures a few years ago, and happened to come across one that was DOTD at some point. A few weeks later, I clicked the "talk about today's dog in Pet Talk" link and joined a while after that.

I found pet talk when a friend from the dogpark posted some pictures and a little story about my Rosie, who had just died after being hit by a truck. I was deeply touched by the kind words everyone put on that thread, even though no one knew me. This site was truly a comfort in a time of pain and despair for me.
Since then, I've been pretty regular reader and sometimes poster. I do feel especially blessed to live in a town where there are Pet Talk picnics several times a year. It is so cool to meet these dogs & people in person! Thanks, Paul & Karen!

I found it through google, some years back, when I was like 10. Since, the rules said you have to be 13 to legally join I chose to wait. I joined a day after my 13th birthday.

I typed in " dog" on google search and everyday I work my way through piles of sites, the odd time I find a good one. ;)

Hmmm I think it when I was going through yahoo dog pictures and I ran across a pic that had the dog of the day thing on it, so I kind looked it up and found this place!

Somehow I found the DOTD sites (from google I think) and would look at them all every day. One day I was extremely bored and started actually looking more into the site and found the Pet Talk link that I never saw before. Entered, and joined!

I found petoftheday looking on the internet for a pic of a slinder-billed conure.
Missy Lockie is her name.I went on this forum to see how it was and love it.

my mom made me folder containing lots of sites related to dogs. One of them was dog of the day. I looked at the dog pictures for a while and then decided to click all of the links on the side of the pictures. I found Pet Talk, lurked for a few days, joined and the rest is history.

My husband found DOTD and told me about it. I checked it everyday to see the new dog. Eventually I ventured onto the forum and wanted to ask a question so I joined. :D

I was looking for cat sites and came across COTD. I logged on and read the story every day, until one day, I noticed PT. After 3 days of reading posts, I joined and have been addicted since. :)

I don't remember how I found POTD, but I visited POTD, DOTD, COTD everyday for a long time before signing up for PT.

I found it through a Google search on "cat pictures" or something like that. I had looked at COTD for a good couple of years but never explored the rest of the site, until my Mum's cat was honoured and I noticed the link to Pet Talk.

I fell into it somehow. I started reading one of Phred's stories and got totally hooked.

Later I read some of the other threads and realized this was what I was looking for, even though I wasn't really looking!

I kept getting sent to DOTD and POTD in google image searches and one day I clicked the PT link and registered to comment on a really cute dog that was DOTD.

Gosh time flies. I've already been here over a year.

I'd looked at the DOTD and COTD for a long time, when finally I got my own internet at home, went to the site, and registered. It seems like so long ago!

It's been so long, I don't remember the day, but I was at work and had
some time to spare sooo I looked around for sites about animals & found
Dog of the day. I was hooked, but lurked a long time before I had the nerve
to join. I'm so glad that I did. :)

The English bloke who sat behind me at work (back to back), elbowed me one day with DOTD on his screen. He knew I loved animals, esp. dogs (yakkity yak..Cody this Cody that) and the rest is history!!!

My IV hasn't been shaken loose since!

I had Pet of the Day os my homepage for about 2 years before I joined PT. It wasn't until Zsa-Zsa was Cat of the Day, that I actually took notice of that link which said 'Talk about today's cat in Pet Talk!' So, I clicked on it, and began to read the thread that had been made about Zsa-Zsa. I was so happy with all the lovely comments posted, and I realised that this place was full of animal-crazy people, just like me. So I joined, and since then the rest is history!

I stumbled onto it accidentally, while surfing.
And I feel blessed to have found y'all. :)
