At this point, I don't care where Petsville is, as long as our friends are happy and comfortable and I can be with all of you in a blissful environment. I'll start packing....Would this by any chance also be known as Heaven on Earth??

Amen to that!

I could help Sara and Becky with the trainning and grooming. Oh ya.. about the cars thing.. we could have an amusement park for dogs.
There could be car rides..games (were u could win free milk bones).. Well u cat lovers wouldnt like this but.. dunk the cat.. I could be head of the amusement park.. but id rather stick to grooming and training.. I LOVE doing that stuf.. Everytime i got to my neighbors who has a cocker spaniel i groom him and she pays me i do nails, clean ears, cut fur, bathe them, brush him.. alllll sorts of stuff

Oh ya Simba could be gaurd dog and not let any of those mean people in who dont like animals. I was thinking about havein Pettalkville in Tennesee.... as for there is snow.. and no snow.. and since there are lots of villes in there marysville.. nashville... so pettalkville would fit right in! And me and Simba know lots of doggy friends in Tennesee theres my aunt and uncle terry's malteses, my cousins spring spaniel, my cousin's next door neighbor's dog Tri-Pod which is a beagle (he only has 3 legs... poor doggy), Oh ya my cousin has a fat cat named Amos.

That's fine with me! The more people we have, the easier it will be to train the dogs!

Tennesee would be great also. Maybe we will see Elvis!!!!

I think that Pettalkville should be in a very special valley, known only to animals and the people who love them. It would have mountains to the north side, with plenty of snow for the huskies and Saint Bernards year-round, but never be so cold that people would be uncomfortable.
On the south side of the valley, it would be very warm year-round, nicely so, so Chihuahuas and Cornish Rexes, as well as lizards and reptiles, could go outside without being too cold. Perhaps the southwest part of the valley will be desert, like Arizona, and the eastern part of the valley will have temperate climate, so people and animals who love the seasons in New England would be happy there. In the heart of the valley, it will be warm, but not muggy, sunny, but not dangerously so, and there would be a big lake for water fun for everyone. And on one side it is bordered by the ocean, so dolphins and whales can visit, and have a safe harbor.

How about that? (And Elvis can come visit when he tires of Graceland.)

Karen, I'm not bragging or anything like that but it sounds just like San Diego, California. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Summer temp run about in the 70s or 80s with usually no humidity, winters are usually mild, 60s to 70s, the Ocean borders the West, the Mountains border the East (sometimes snow in the winter)and we have a few Lakes around the County. The only problem is that we have, like most places, too many cars and to much urban sprawl. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
Looks like we will have to keep looking for the perfect spot.

After reading these posts, I guess I will have to volunteer my services in the Cats office of the PR department to remind everyone that CATS are the most popular pet in America! Who wants to nominate themselves PR rep for the hamsters, bunnies, turtles, parrots, etc. before these dog people get carried away and make Pettalkville Dogtalkville http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif!

I'll take any Job at Pettalkville. Except maybe cat bathing. To dangerous. Even scooping poop would be more fun than my current job.

I hear ya, Auggie!

Although I've never been there, I would nominate Hawaii. Everyone I know who has been there didn't want to come home and said they must go back! I guess Jasper's Mom will agree with me!

Excellent! And what would Spencer's job be? http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Hmm...so many things I want to do. I would like to be the chef in a resturant and cook up our pets favortie treats. Peanut butter pancakes for breakfast and veggie platters for the bunnies. Maybe I can be in charge of the recreation department. I'll hand out tennis balls for all the dogs and schedule games and contests. I could write the society column: "Lovely Bella had a wonderful tea party Saturday afternoon. Invited guests were Bandit, Hannah, Tucker, and those beautiful sisters Honey and Lily...". Or how about security? I'll stand by with a bowl of water in case there are any fights http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

souther cal, in my opinion...too dangerous w/ earthquakes.
tha valley place w/ no name sounded neat.

as for what job...
i'd like nutritonalist or boarding facility (like i really plan on opening.)

If you picked Hawaii, it would have to be on another island, maybe the Big Island since it has cool mountains, snow on the peaks in winter, mid range weather areas and hot areas too. And we could have beaches with pets and their owners only. Dogs allowed only off leash. It has lots of open space for new homes and businesses. Oahu, my island, is way too crowded.

I want to be the planner of huge cat playgrounds attached to every home with them. (Handymen or women will do the actual work.) Geared to the size of your cat family or what you want your cat family to be. Raised walkways, tunnels, snuggle holes, hanging and moving toys of all sorts, and a grassy area to lay in. Alterations can be made for birds, reptiles, or even opened bottomed ones for ducks. These are for their temporary play time while we are all at work. On the side I will be the spokesman for ducks and geese. Dogs will no longer have to guard the town because we'll have a geese patrol. To avoid the meetings of four and two leggeds, there will be a double fenced grassy perimiter around the town for them to travel in while they watch for intruders. Their honking will activate special cameras attached to poles in the area. No anti-animal invaders ever.

We need a special town only tv channel showing personal interviews and stories by townspeople. With an events schedule.

What about an adoption center, bringing in unwanted animals from areas where uncaring caretakers discard them. And we still need an outreach group to go out to the outside, educating people, helping animals to find homes. We can't totally go away and leave the lost ones behind?

I was talking about this town with my youngest son, Chris, and he said he would come too and invent a pet global positioning devise so that any pets accidentally lost could be immediately honed in on and brought home.

At the same time he would develop an electronic devise that will be attached to a collar or a leg (in the case of birds) and it would enable us to understand, in any language, what our pet says to us, and they be able to understand what we say.

Can he come too?

By all means, bring your kids, and bring your grandparents. A school program for learning the care and respect of animals - Perfect! A nursing home with lots of seniors that have love to give our pets, and that have decades of experience with caring for pets...sounds like just what Pettalkville can use!

Of course, seniors that are healthy and live at home can be part of any pet projects! And working along side our youngsters will give the kids and the pets so many hours of love and care!

We need folks of all ages for Pet TLC!

Spencer, I was at Big Sur, CA about 5 years ago...we camped there! Cliffs were high, we had to be careful when climbing down to get to the ocean beach. Then once down there the sand was scattered with Jade stone and hundreds of Elephant seals. Very natural and untouched. I bet Pettalkville would fit right in http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Genia you are too much!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif I think I'd like to be the official tummy rub person! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

I think my vote would be for Hawaii, been there, done that and I didn't want to leave.
How about Lanai or Molokai, Jaspers Mom is right, Honolulu is too crowded.

This is beginning to sound like a great place. I'm ready to go, with all my girls and one boy in tow! But, Kay Ann, I like the amusement park idea, but you need to remember....some of us love dogs and cats. No cat dunking! I'm sure you were just kidding...you need to meet some of these wonderful cats and you would change your attitude about them, I'm sure. This community will be one that accepts all pets, cats included!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

And the "society page" is a great idea! Lilly and Honey would be glad to sponser the first "social". We would of course open our swimming pool (we can dream) to everyone to swim to their hearts content! And the cats would be welcome too with lots of fish and milk for them.

WOW, this place is really sounding good. I REALLY want to live in a place like that. Yes, and of course, we will have to take in the rest of those in the "outside" world who need to be rescued!! This IS Heaven on Earth!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

I think cat dunking would be fine - we'd just choose Maine Coons, or other "wierd" cats who LOVE water, and try to jump in the shower with their people at any opportunity!

And for cats, there'd be "dog dunking" but the dogs in question would be Chessies, or Labs, and other "water" dogs!

can we change the name from Pettalkville to Petaquawville located in the picturesque Pataquaw Valley? (thats near lake whoabegone for those who listen to public radio) that way it would fit in with the story i started this weekend?! The story should be fit for consumption by the end of this week - at least a draft of volume I. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif it was a good weekend for writing.....

I would also like to be the photographer, I LOVE taking pictures.

~~ My House Is Not A Home Without A Hound ~~

I would be the veteranarian. O http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

I'm jumping in a little late here, but Charlie, Yertle and myself would love to come and live in Pettalkville too. Can I bring my mom and her turtle, Lilly?
I'd like to volunteer my services to the adoption center or the outreach group that Jasper's Mom described.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a world where everyone cares about and loves nature and all living creatures? At least when I'm here at Pet Talk with all of you I feel closer to that world. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

With all them loose dogs running around?

I know one Maine Coon cat that wouldn't be too interested in the "Cat Dunking", MIMI!!! She isn't too fond of that water, unless she has a nice clean bowl to drink from. Maybe "Cat Bathing", elective bathing, would be a better idea!

In Pettalkville, no lawyers are needed because all animals, and people, behave perfectly.

Wow evberyone has such great ideas! And Hawaii sounds GREAT to me and Daisy! She is wagging her tial just thinking about it.

We're going to need other jobs for our significant others, so maybe companies that produce items without animal testing would be welcome.

As for lawyers, we're going to need estate planning lawyers, so we can leave our pets with good care in case of accidents or... well, you know.

And we're going to need to deal with the noise issue...Even the nicest doggies can get on your nerves, especially when they live next door. We'll keep working on that one!

We'll need to have foreign language tutors so we can have sister cities in other places in the world! Whew, this is quite a project!

From a planning perspective, yes the town would need at least one access road to bring in supplies but it could be located outside the actual town and linked by a enclosed smaller road to link all the businesses to the town. We won't have to let cars anywhere near the pet areas. perhaps we can have slower moving golf carts though!

I'm not sure about "firemen", but aren't we going to need a lot of "fire hydrants" for the dogs to leave their "messages"?

I still want to be a belly scratcher....

defintly need fire control engineers (firefighters)

i thought of another job i might like. deciding what people on the outside, are deserving of a home for pets from our no kill shelter.

I think that we will also need a few fundraisers who can come up with brilliant ideas on how to get money to fund our shelter. I work in DTP so I could prepare the promotional materials.

Ok I am ready to pack my bags http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif My hubby will be the network engineer for all of the computers and servers in Pettalkville. He'll also do computer support so no one in Pettalkville will have problems with their computers. And my mom, since she is an administrator of a senior living facility, she could help with all of the elderly animals, she'll provide extra care, special games, and a loving touch to those elderly animals.

I am sticking to my roll of activities director for activities like agility, obedience, freestlyle, tracking, search & rescue, frisbe, and herding and, per Rachel, I will also be the towns' pet nutritionist http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

Man would this be a dream come true http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif What fun it would be!
