Who/What makes you glad to have found PT?

[DogLover9501]

Tonight I was thinking of all the things that make me glad to have found PT....

*Things that make me glad to have found PT*

I am really glad to have found a place where there are people who are as crazy about animals/pets as I am, and people who's pets are as spoiled rotten as mine are.

I am also really glad to have found a place where there are so many people, who are always willing to give you advice and send positive vibes and prayers whenever they are needed.

This place is the best!!!

*People who make me glad to have found PT*

Every PTer is very special, of course, but Im sure we all have PTers in which we are closer to then other

WILLIE (trayi52), You are the sweetest person, you are just like a PT mom, you are very kind and caring, you love your pets so much(and have some interesting ones ), your just the greatest!!

Kay(Kfamr), I'm not sure what you consider me as , but I consider you as a friend, your very dedicated to your pups, and it doesn't take long to notice that about you. Your also AMAZING with graphic design and photography, and a very nice peson, around my same age.

Anna(anna_66) Anna, your big boy stole my heart almost right away when I first joined PT! You are a very kind person, you always have something nice to say, and it's very easy to tell that your pups are spoiled rotten

Tiffany(bluekat), you are a very sweet person! When I first found out how old you are, I was very surprised!! You are very matture for your age, and just such a kind person! And your kitty is just stunning

Emma(Dogz), Emma your a great person, Thank you so much for trying to start a fund rasier to help my boy!!

Libby(Fox-Gal), I have fun talking about...mostly boxers lol on MSN, Don't boxer owners/lovers attract?

Im sure there are lots more people I want to list , but I love all of ou anyway

[anna_66]

There are so many things/people!

It's nice to have a place to go where people don't think your insane for loving your animals like they are your children.

When your having problems or maybe just down in the dumps there are people here to listen and to help you feel better.

And a recent for me, we needed alot of prayers and good thoughts for Angus and we got so many that I honestly couldn't believe that people were actually checking in to see if he was doing alright. It meant so much more to me than anyone will ever know.

And as for naming names....there are far too many to meantion!

I just don't know how I could ever do without PT


This is a great thread Robyn!

[shais_mom]

All of my close dear sweet treasured friends.
And I am just so glad to find a place that accepts my love of my pets without question, unlike so many people in my daily life.

[binka_nugget]

I love PT because everyone is different. There are people from different countries, different races, different religions, people with different hobbies but with one thing in common, the love of pets!

As for naming people, I just couldn't. Everyone makes PT what it is.

[Cookiebaker]

I'm so glad to have found PT because in my "real" life, everybody thinks that I am NUTZ because my pets are my babies. I don't have human children, and they think that I'm just substituting animals to relieve my "motherly instinct". I have also been told that I idolize/worship my dogs. But really all I do is love them. And here, I can share pictures, and read about and enjoy other's pictures. That's why I like it here.

And as far as individuals, I don't like to play favorites and name names. Everybody who loves animals is special, each in their own individual way!

[DogLover9501]

I wasn't sure about naming people either, but I just felt I wanted to say somethings to very special PTers and wasn't sure how else to say it

But, I know that everyone is special

[trayi52]

I know that feeling, my family thinks I'm nuts when I take pictures of my pets, but here I can post them or talk about them and nobody thinks I'm nuts for doing so.

My husband can't stand it when he sees me taking pictures of Grover! He does have a point, I guess I do have more pictures of my pets than I do human pictures!

Though I did get to take some pictures of my grandchildren the other day. LOL, these two live in the next town, and I hadn't got to see them in about three weeks.

As far as names, I love all of you here at pet talk.

Robyn this is a great thread, and you are very sweet to start it!

I am glad I came because I finally found a place where people are like me. Pet Lovers. Everyone here understands that a pet is more than "just a pet" and they are wonderful, wonderful companions, who we usually don't deserve.

I am glad because alot of you share my views, on training and such, because I have gotten alot of neighbourly advice to "train" Major in ways which I would never do. Here people understand alot of my views, even if I don't voice them, I here them say to others exactly what I think.

We also care very much about all pets. You guys all give me advice, whenever I ask questions about Major, and that is quite often. You are honest and caring. Everybody here is very friendly and that's why I love it. I feel at home.

[zippy-kat]

Some of the best people are right here on this board. I'm lucky to have "met" so many of them - I can't even begin to name names.

When Sophie passed to the RB, the out pouring of love and support was unbelievable. I still can't think of her without crying but you guys have helped me so much. I "torture" myself sometimes by going back and rereading all the sickly-Sophie posts, I ... I can't even finish the sentence. (And I need a dozen tissues! lol)

One of my fondest memories is definitely introducing K'Cee to ya'll; everyone seemed genuinely happy for me. Though Piper didn't receive as big a welcome "ceremony" - that is/was also a fond memory. These two silly ones have also been strongholds in post-Sophie life.

These last couple of years have been pretty rough for me and I just want to thank you guys for the support. {{hugs}}


((PS - I know I said I wouldn't name names but I feel I should give a special mention to my late night and/or email pals; they put up with my ditzy-, panic-, grief-, and/or silly- spells. Luv ya guys!))

[Fox-Gal]

I guess you could say the reason I'm gald I found PT is it's the one place that no one judges me for 1: having so many pets and 2: loving them so much. Around where I live, People seem to want to judge you if you think of your pets or anything more then just animals.

As for people here, Robyn you know your one, although your always away on MSN to talk to any more. Like right now, I see you there marked away. LOL I like to think that Boxer people have a special conection.

As for the other's I wont name them as I think they should know who they are.

I do need to say Willie though, I have to name her. She been there for me so many time and has really gone out of her way for me. She has keep me here at PT, when I really was thinking long and hard about leaving. I don't want to hurt anyones feeling by just naming her, but this is my chance to openly thank her for being a friend to me, above what she had to.

[davidpizzica]

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed being one of the few guys on PT. But EVERYONE here is so friendly and ready to give advice or to comfort someone having problems in their lives. the common thread here is that everybody here loves aimals with all their heart. I don't want to single out indivuals, but two people come to mind; Willie, you have been great to me, you care about what is happening in my life, you worry when I'm not on for a while, and it makes me feel that I have a mother on PT!! The other person is Donna.( moosmom) if it wasn't for PT, I would't have met her. She is one beautiful person and beautiful with her furbabies. I love her and would like to see her in person. Thanks PT!

[Lillycat]

the new people i have met.....online and in person.....reading about alllllll the pets that we allllllll so dearly love......the comfort of talking to people who realllllly "understand"

[kimlovescats]

I try each day in life to be thankful for something particular ... and PT just happens to be ONE of the many blessing in my life!

Like most of here, I am thankful for the fact that I can come here and talk myself silly over my babies ... and EVERYONE actually understands me!!!

I am also thankful for all of the sincere support and prayers whenever my babies or I need them. Words could NEVER express just how much this means to me!

Finally, I have met soooooo many wonderful people and several of you (I hope you know who you are) have become particularly close to my heart!!!!

I love you all!

((((HUGS))))

I´m really glad I joined PT because all people here are so friendly and helpful I love seeing pics of all your pets I have met many really great new friends here and I´m thankful about that

Well everyone PTer is really great but I wanted say thanx to Anna_66 , Wolfsoul and Willie that you were so nice to me when I first came here

PT is the best I love you all

[catnapper]

PT has offered me an outlet for showing off my monsters without people getting bored of them. I can show off my million pictures and know that everyone will rush to see the latest photo of any of them. This means more to me than anybody could possibly know! In "real life" people walk around with their baby's photos and show them off. People are interested in seeing pictures (at least they pretend to be) of their friend's babies... but if I pulled out a pictures of any of my three? People would be rolling their eyes.

Here its refreshingly clear that everyone loves their pets, and through posts & photos, we all come to love each other's pets as if they were old friends to us.

Hubby dosen't at all understand that PT is so much more than pets. He mockingly calls it my "cat site" and has no clue that PT offer support for ANYTHING a person is going through in their life. Need emotional support bcause of a lousy boss? PT's their with hugs?! Need prayers for a sick family member? PT's there with prayers! This place is amazing... it starts with pets and goes beyond!
