Great thread! Hubby and I had just gotten Roscoe and had some questions, so I was doing a little internet research to find some answers. I stumbled upon PT, and joined just so I could post a question. Everyone was so nice and helpful, and asked about my pets, so I kept coming back :)
I can't remember how I came upon DOTD, but I submitted Mickey.. after about a month of waiting for him to be DOTD, I joined and asked how long it took and I asked what people thought Mickey was crossed with.. that was my one and only post. But now I'm here for good. :D
I had searched for years for a place where people felt the same way about their pets as I do. I was searching still when I stumbled across PT.. It was so long ago that I have forgotten exactly HOW I found it.. I had tried some places and was left feeling like I didn't belong so I continued searching. I lurked here a few years before I signed on to make sure this was where I wanted to be and by the time I signed up, I alread knew everybody but they had to get to know me!
In almost every animal remated google search there is a pic from pet of the day. I got sent here a lot and then one day decided to submit Niņo. He never has been DOTD, but I one time about a year ago I found the forum link and have been here almost every day since.
Haha. Nice thread! Ok, I'd been coming to DOTD and COTD like ever since 2nd grade, and well I got internet of my own this summer, so I went to the DOTD site, which I barely remembered, and saw the PT link then Regustered. At the time I was too young, and I didnt come back till August, but Now I'm hooked! I mean I even dream about PT...
:) I have always loved to browse the internet to different web sites looking at cats && one day I came across the web site of Pet of the Day && I went into it && thought how neat && then just started going into all the options & Hello I am Here Now & Too Stay.. Just Love It..
I always used to check out Dog of the Day and Pet of the Day everyday, when I was really little. I think Emma (Dogz) was the one who showed me those. Then, she (Emma) kept bugging me to join Talk, and I never did, until we got a new dog (Toby).
Very interesting to see how other people found pt!! :D
Gosh ~ I can't remember. I know I joined a month or so after Kuhio died. But, I can't remember who directed me here. Once I joined, I was here to stay!
Ralph actually found Pet Talk. I'm not sure how, probablly a web search. He joined in May of 2001, although I don't think he posted until December. I lurked for a bit after that, posted under his name a few times, then finally joined for myself in January of 2002. Four years later, I have over 9000 posts, Ralph has 60 some!!! And of course, my mom, dad and sister ahve all joined....look what he started!!!!
I was doing a search on Google and i came upon this wonderful site. :)
