What has happened to Pet Talk? :(

[luckies4me]

It just seems so slow lately. I don't post much, but I've been on here for years and have never seen it so slow as it's been these past few months. I lurk, and enjoy everyone's post. Where have all the pet lovers gone? Where are all the ooh's and ahh's over photos, and people sharing their stories? I miss it so much!

I know a lot of old timers are still here, and I thank you all for keeping Pet Talk alive, but so many people are missing.

Some people get busy, or move on.

I noticed last year that as summer was getting underway, far fewer people posted. I think finally having good weather had folks spending less time on their computers - and anyone with school age children have their kids around more now.

Karen and others could likely vouch if it is a seasonal thing.

Ya I stopped posting as much since I had Kai...heck, I haven't even posted pictures of him in at least a year! Toddler has this mom busy, and plus work, the animals, taking care of my boyfriend (he has leukemia) etc. But I try to keep up with everyone, and check in about once a week. I just miss seeing all the photos and stories.

As far as today, I am stuck inside due to crappy weather (blah). No kids so I am doing laundry and all that other fun stuff moms get to do when their kids are away.

I wore everybody out with a now defunct thread I started about the viability of certain vice-presidential candidate.

I think it's a seasonal thing too - I don't have much computer time either, having a toddler keeps me on my toes! I have a few moments now and then (like now ), but other than that I just don't have the time. Ty is actually helping me type right now, so there are probably plenty of typos

I am so sorry to hear that your boyfriend has cancer, I will certainly keep him (and you) in my prayers.

I still visit several times a day. I am an addict!

I visit off and on throughout the day but I am spending a LOT more time outside now than before. The weather is perfects that it makes me restless and I can't sit still! Heck, I have even been doing some long needed cleaning in the house and getting out and walking a lot or just sitting outside.

I know for me, it's just that it's summer. Kids are out of school, yard work, super busy at work - we don't even come inside until 10:00 pm, usually.

He actually just finished his last round of Chemo! Now, if I can just get him through his depression we'll be good!

I know the feeling! It was so nice last week and then this week it decided it was going to rain and thunderstorm. I want some heat again! So today I just cleaned and organized. Took out all of Kai's old baby clothes and put them up on craigslist. My brother was staying with me for a bit, and now that he's gone I've went on a cleaning spree throughout the whole house. I moved my lizards out into the living room which freed up some space in my bedroom, which isn't the biggest, and threw a bunch of useless things in the garbage. I have three boxes waiting to go to Goodwill. I think my spring cleaning has moved into summer LOL.

Dylan still has a whole week of school left! I'm taking advantage of it while I can, trying to get things done. It's so hectic with two boys in the house. Kai can be a bit of a trouble maker. Poor Dylan. Kai never leaves him alone. He picks on him all the time. I was thinking it would be the other way around since Dylan is older, but nope. It's amazing how manipulative a 2 year old can be!

I'm here everyday.

I'm also still around, but often, I'm just too busy, or too tired to post much... But I'm still enjoying this place a lot!

I've noticed the same thing. So many people have gotten so busy. I love to come to the board when I can but I don't have as much time as I used to. I've also noticed the number of members online has gone down alot, almost every day.

Ya, usually when I'm on there will only be about 6 or so others on at the same time, and the rest are guests.
