You know reading these posts it's just struck me - it's not a message board - it's a good gossip!! It's talking to friends not just posting a Message on a very impersonal board.

I lurked for about a year - just looking at the pictures of the Pets of the Day. One day I decided to post and WHOP - I can't STOP!!!:D :D
Ummm... I think we posted the same day we joined, but at first, I didn't know how to post (Im' blond, took time to learn:rolleyes: ), so my husband had to post for me. I had to wait for him to come home from work and then post :rolleyes: But after I learnt how to do it, wahey, no stopping me, as you've noticed :eek:
And are we ever glad!!!Quote:

I lurked for quite a while before I posted. Still lurk more than I post, but I'm working on that;)
Since I can only access PT from work, I can't always respond to issues when I'd like. Some days I can't even lurk! (Gotta work sometimes)
Like Wolflady said, the posts are not like private conversations here. Everyone is really welcome to submit their opinions.
I feel like I have a lot of new friends. And we're all crazy about animals.
And I love the pictures.

Aww, thank you Gini! :)
I was a visitor to Cat of the Day before there was Pet Talk. Didn't visit Pet Talk at first, as I was somewhat leery due to poor experiences at other boards... Stumbled in by accident one day after I pushed the wrong button :rolleyes: and started lurking. Visited for roughly two months before something came up that I HAD to put my 2 cents in on! :D I've particularly valued this site and you wonderful people here over the past few months: things have gone badly at work and I really appreciate a spot to unwind/de-stress.
You guys are wonderful!
I found Pet of the Day sometime before October 2001. I can't remember the first time I saw Pet Talk, but it must have been right before Feb 2002 because thats when I joined and I posted, I just couldn't wait to join the fun. I just love looking at everyones pictures of their furrkids, and I looooooove talking about animals ( thats probably evident seeing how I've only been a member for not even a month and I have posted 150somethin times)
I was like you Sara. I've been checking the cat of the day for...ooohhh..probably a year and half now. It's part of my morning routine. I check a few sites, then gotta see who's Cat of the Day. :) I never noticed the Pet Talk down below until sometime in February 2002. Lurked for about a week and here I am! It is a bummer having to work because it interrupts the time I can spend posting or looking at cute kittie pictures. :rolleyes:
Not me....... unfortunatally I work nights and there is really no strict supervision while I am here and.......... shhhhhhhh nobody tell them but......... I AM ON PET TALK ALLLLLL THE TIME WHILE I AM AT WORK AND IF THEY FIND OUT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO ME.!!!! I AM ADDICTED HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p :DQuote:

LOL LOL You guys!! What a good deal for you, Sara!! LOL :D I too get quite addicted at work :o I know I shouldn't spend so much time on the boards while I'm at work....but sometimes I just need the stress break! Especially as of late with all the crazy stuff that is going on! I have piles and piles of stuff to do, but I still come here for a dose of stress relief and good company!;)Quote:

DITTO WOLFLADY - that's exactly how I relieve the stress of the work day - every day I just hope they don't ax me:) :) I have to have a password to get into the Internet so it is possible for them to monitor my time on the Internet if they wanted to.
And what better stress relief than seeing pictures of so many adorable kitties and other pampered pets. It just always brings a smile to my face when I see these pictures, even if the boss is in the other room ranting and carrying on. :rolleyes:Quote:
