Hello Everybody!!

[thelmalu99]

Don't know how many of you will remember me, but I used to be a regular here at Pet Talk, the best place on Earth for people who love their pets! :D

I have two kitties, Elvis and JD (Jack Daniel), and two turtles, Yertle and TimTam.

I started posting here several years ago, when I had a wonderful little kitty named Charlie, who unfortunately had Feline Leukemia. I eventually lost my sweet little guy to that horrible disease, and I will never forget the support and kindness that was shown to me on these boards. When I brought Elvis and JD home from the shelter, everyone here rejoiced with me and offered their good wishes. You guys are the best!

Just poking around, I saw a few familiar names, like zippy-kat, Kfamr, Noahsmommy, Farruska and tuxluvr. Pet Talk long-timers!
Hi Karen! Hi Paul! Missed all of you! I have been meaning to stop by for quite a while, but as usual, I always get sidetracked.

How are all your babies doing? My little guys are doing fine, and I hope to get some pics together and post them soon.

Looking forward to meeting everyone else here. Lots of new names!

Huge smooches from someone who has been away, but has never forgotten you all!

Welcome back!

[thelmalu99]

Your babies are gorgeous! My kitties are orange, just like your little one in the middle pic. Gotta love those little orange babies! :D

Hey, Kari! Thanks so much!
Yeah, this place is great! I'm kicking myself for staying away for so long. I only posted a few minutes ago, and already so many people have welcomed me. Always nice folks here!

My name is Cass and I have a on of pets, so won't bother to list them all. ;) I used to have a cat named JD, also named for Jack Daniels (and also one of my favorite bands Guttermouth sings about it, which is one of my favorite songs too!), which is the only liquor I will drink. ;) He was a grey fluffball cat which looked identical to the cat I have now, also grey by the name of Ewok. :)

Welcome Home is right! I recognized your name immediately and jumped right into the thread to be sure it was you!

We have so many wonderful new members that it will take you a while to get to know everyone.

Ah yes, please be sure to visit Thursdays and let me be the first to buy you a drink at our cyber bar! But just know, enter there at your own risk!:D :D And whatever you do, don't go near the Lost and Found.

But Laurie will be there and she can show you the ropes too.

Again - a huge Welcome Back from another died and gone to heaven orange cat lover!:)

Sorry to keep bumping my own thread, but I just have to say thanks for all the warm welcomes. :D


Ah yes, please be sure to visit Thursdays and let me be the first to buy you a drink at our cyber bar! But just know, enter there at your own risk! And whatever you do, don't go near the Lost and Found.

Gini- I will check it out, for sure. And...Laurie...LBaker! My long time PT best bud! Love that chickie! Where is she??

ChrisH and primabella, thanks for the welcome!

Freckles! Hey! What's up??

Lynnestankard! How are ya? Are you anywhere near London? I'm heading in that direction this September! I'll be visiting a friend who is working there for 6 months, and if you're nearby, I'd love to meet up!

Sandra! Hey girl! How's it going? How are the lovely babies?

[RobiLee]

Hello Thelmalu!

I guess I would be one of the newbies to you. I think I have been here a year now My name is Robin and those are my 2 pups in my signature. Katie is one year old and Tori is 5 months old.

It is so nice to meet you!

Robin :)

[lbaker]

THELMA!!! Hey buddie! Would have posted sooner but had BIG problems with my home computer and had to wait until I got to work today. Last I heard from you was your birthday if I remember correctly. Lots has happened around here but the best part is all the meetings with other PT'ers there have been. Since that first one you & I were going to go to together in TX, I've been to PA and to CA for meetings - and met several PT'ers here in DC and met up with Slick in Seattle. (You will like Slick, she's a goof!) * No offence Slick, I mean that in the nicest way * Do stop by Richards Place/Thursdays for a drink and some fun and we can get caught up. The bar usually opens on Wednesday but don't let that confuse you.
By the way, don't leave your keys lying around, one of the "regulars" has this thing about keys and you may have to climb up onto the roof to find them :rolleyes: Welcome home :D
Laurie

[thelmalu99]

Thanks for the welcome RobiLee!

LAURIE!! How's it going? Yeah, I definitely wanna check out this bar place on Thursday, but where do I go? I don't see any kind of chatroom button anywhere?

[lynnestankard]

To find the bar..........
