I have met a lot of you, and sometimes I stop to think how you may have discovered PT. My story is like any other. Here it is.:)

I was looking for Penpals that love animals. The first thing that came up in my search was Pet Talk. I just clicked on it and liked it so.....

HERE I AM!!!!!!!:D

We are all interested in how you found PT. We want to hear your story.;)

I was under "images" on Google searching for Labrador Retriever pictures, and some Dog of the Day Labradors came up, and I followed the links and discovered Pet Talk. I looked around a bit, and it wasn't long before I joined. :)

A couple of years ago a guy at work had set the IE home page to COTD on one of the computers that I was working on, and I started to visit for COTD, DOTD and POTD.

Then a few months ago, I finally discovered the Pet Talk icon on CTOD(little slow sometimes:)). I started lurking and last month decieded to sign up because I wanted to post to COTD forum. Then I became addicted.:D

Well, I was first just looking for some pictures of dogs, and DOTD came up, and then I was just looking at the 'side things' and I clicked on Pet Talk. And HERE I AM!:D

The board I used to post to ALL the time closed :( , so I was looking for a new board, and just stumbled across this one.

There are several of us "AcmePet" refugees around here. ;)

A few co-workers and myself would start out each morning by checking out the DOTD. One day I had a question regarding the DOTD so I made my first post on PT and I was hooked :D

Bryan, I just looked at your post count and it's almost 700 after only 1 month - you are a mega blabbermouth :D :D :D

(Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining, I really enjoy your posts, but that is quite an acheivement in such a short space of time!)

I was always pretty interested in DOTD, so I had been checking that everyday. I had seen the Pet Talk link but figured it wasn't anything too special. I had no idea that PT was more like a community than just a random place to post random comments from random people. :p After staring at the link for months, I decided to just check it out. And let's just say I was definitely impressed. :D :D

Once upon a time........probably about 3 years ago or so, I was searching for cockatiel pictures on yahoo. Ended up finding a link to Petoftheday, and found myself on petoftheday.com. I would visit the site EVERY day to see the pictures of the pets and just loved it. I had seen the Pet Talk link, but didn't think much about clicking on it. :p Probably about a year after joining, I decided I would check out the *Pet Talk* link and see what it was all about. I found it very interesting.............and nothing like I had imagined! The first day.......I remember sleeping at like 1am because I was busy reading all the posts! I didn't join for a while, but then one day, I decided I would! I never left! :p :D

My wife found Pet Talk and just loved it. The computer was always over here and I accidentally started reading threads that looked interesting.

After posting a few times under "her" name it was decided that I should get my own user name (was it something that I said?). So here I am!

I used to go under Dog of the day all the time and sometimes wanderd onto Pet talk but I didnt get it because i was like 8 yrs. old. Then I was at Emma's ( dogz ) house and she always went on here and she kept telling me " go on Pet Talk" so finally I came on here about 4 months ago and got stuck. Not saying that is a bad thing!

I discovered Pet Talk because I couldn't understand why our dinner was getting later and later, and Randi was sitting huddled in the corner in the pale light of her computer screen until after midnight!

So I checked it out and found out why.

Great site! :D :D :D

I'm not sure how my Hubby found DOTD and then PT, but he would show me the dog pics and I wouldlurk on the board. Then I started posting occasionally under his name, and finally signed up myself....I think now he still has under 100 posts, and I am pushing 5000!!!
