    What was your first Pet Talk Post?

    You know the one. The one you just had to try to see how it all works. Or just had to risk sharing your opinion even though you were not too sure about this message board thing.
    Mine was on February 14, 2002 to the thread:
    I'm so embarrassed about just finding the cat link under Pet talk. Then it was First cloned cat. I could't possible keep quiet on THAT! Now there's no limit to my opinions. (Sorry about that. )

    I just found my very first post. Back then, I was posting as lhg0962. I posted on 7-3-2000 and it was in response to a question Karen asked about "leaning" dogs. Funny, now I remember that post very well!!!

    That was a good question!

    You made me curious ...

    I vaguely remembered lurking here for quite a while before I HAD to put my two cents' worth in on any of the threads. MomofFuzzyFaces, your post made me curious enough to look it up to see just what thread it was that 'tipped me over' into posting. One of our members had lost her treasured cat, and I wanted/needed to extend my sympathies to her. My Sassafras had passed away just over 3 months prior ...

    The advice/humor/sympathy here is so healing. So glad that we found this place!

    I think I posted my first on 19th january 2002 after lurking for 3 days. Just about the time when this site changed the layout. My first was "How much does your cat drink"

    Before that, I visited quite often to see COTD.

    A great site!

    11th August 2001 the day we joined... I didn't know yet how to post (took a while for a blond to learn) so my husband posted first, and he advertised the kittiecats homepage, so that everyone could go and have a look and get to know them. Since then, I've learnt how to post, and I'm a giant blabbermouth, since there's more than 1 200 posts already

    I also remember mine pretty well! It wasn't that long ago It was also the first time I joined a forum (by thenn I didn't even use the Messanger thing nor ever chatted! And I am computer literate, I'm getting a degree on Telecommunication Engineering but I must admit I felt reluctant to meet people on the Internet Now I must admit I was wrong - It's been SOOO nice to meet you all here !)
    When I visited the site for the first time I was amazed!! I can't remember how I got here, though. I fell in love immediately with the site, the whole idea of POTD and, of course, the forum!
    My first post was on How did you come up with my cat(s) name? I thought the question was great and also that it would be a nice way to introduce myself, and of course, Sirocco Some people have already mentioned that the first time they posted they felt like joining in a huge family and also a little afraid that they would be rejected, as you seem so close (well, now it is we !!!!)
    Anyway, you welcome was very warm and now I feel I'm really part of this site!!

    I checked back and it was something like 10/13/00 on dog hair..I then noted another post. Does anyone remember Alison who had the small dog named Bella and it had been attacked by a big dog and was paralyzed? Wonder how she is doing and if she got another dog. She finally had to have her put to sleep and it was a very heart breaking story.
