I was curious to know how everyone came about finding PT? A friend sent me a picture of her horse that was POTD and I wanted to put Jo in, and saw the talk and, well, I got hooked ;) What about you?

I get a computer newsletter, (Lockergnome), and the guy who writes it had his dog Sprocket (http://dogoftheday.com/archive/2000/April/28.html) picked as Dog Of The Day. I came back and looked at the pictures of the Dog, Cat, and Pet Of The Days, and I didn't really even realize there was a message board.

When I got Hanna (my kitten) last summer, I joined the forums because I hadn't had a kitten since Bo (Bo is 13 years old) and I wanted all the advice I could get!

LOL. A friend sent me this "start up page" I don't remember what it was called, but it was one of those pages that is a portal to lots of other pages. There were some seriously dumb ones, and a few... umm... bikini type ones. I think there was one called bikini of the day or something like that. cars, and.... dog of the day!

One of my co-workers introduced me to DOTD. Four of us would check the DOTD each morning :D One day I had a question about the DOTD so I posted a thread on PT and I've been hooked ever sense!! :D

Someone on another board posed a link to COTD. I thought it was pretty cool, sent Wilma's pic in and started snooping around. I was posting on another pet message board that was awful so I was very glad indeed to find this one. Now I'm a PT addict. :D

Rachel (Countrywolf07) told me about DOTD....I looked at it quite often. One day I just decided to join, probably to advertise pet portraits. ;)

It was a long time later before I could convince Rach to join Pet Talke herself. :rolleyes:

A long time ago, I was researching some mixed dog breeds (what they would look like), and came across DOTD. I didn't realize that there was a forum until like 3 years later. :eek:

I was searching for cat sites and came across Cat of the day. I bookmarked it and went back nearly every day for months - also had a look at the previous cats. :) One day I noticed PT and read some posts. Thought it was a nice bunch of people and joined a few days later. I didn't 'post until the third day. ;)

It's all because of Cincy'sMom, my sister, because I saw her on it so once I moved away and got my own pup I joined up to talk to all the people Amy talked to, we'll that was almost a year ago and I'm still here with 2 more pups too!

I was searching for Labrador Retirever pictures on Google, and there was a picture of a yellow labbie from Dog of the Day. I went to the link Google had...and I noticed the button "Pet Talk", so I clicked on it. I browsed around the board a little bit, and I joined. :D

My friend told me about POTD and that it had lots of rabbits featured, so I went and looked. A few days later I submitted Floppsy. When she won, it said "Talk about today's pet in Pet Talk!" at the bottom, and I wanted to know what everyone was saying about her. So I clicked on it, and joined a few days later. :)

Someone from another forum I go to told me that she entered her cat in, and on that day, there was a very beautiful cat she liked, and I came to look and joined a few days later.

I did a search for cats and came up with Cat of the Day. I bookmarked that and daily checked the C/D/P of the Day. A few months later PetTalk started, and I joined the next day!

My niece shared a Dog of the Day with me. I can't even remember "who" it was or "when it was". I do know that there was no Pet Talk at that point in time. But I made Dog of the Day my homepage, and one day noticed the Pet Talk feature, and here I am!!

A tap on the shoulder from a fellow employee .. and the rest is history! I started right before Logan I think, but she was the 1st person I started corresponding with, then Pam (who lives near me and I finally met) Rachel, Sandra (Frito Feet Maven) Jackie and the list goes on and on..... All I can say again is PT people are the best! Thanks for always being there for me..especially lately......xoxoxoxox

A co-worker turned me on to Cat of the Day, before Pet Talk existed, I believe.

I ignored PT for many months, but pressed the button by accident once... lurked briefly, and plunged in delightedly ever since.

I typed in pets on my search bar and came across Pet of the Day and I've been hooked as well ever since.
