Who belongs to Whom ?

**SWHouston** · 11-09-2010, 11:03 AM

I SO enjoy reading about the DOTD's, each one really dissevers it and more !

However, I can't seem to find anywhere on that page, as to who owns/provides for the animal.

Have I just missed that ? If not, shouldn't there be somewhere on that page, where their name/handle could be placed ?

Have a good Day !

Do you mean the dog's owner's name? We do not post that, so that people can retain their privacy.

But sometimes, if a current PT member's dog (or cat or pet) is the Dog of the Day, someone may mention that, by user name in the thread. I try to refer to the owner as the person or human, some people put mommy or meowmie or guardian. It depends on how the bio is written.

Not everyone who's cat/dog/pet that are chosen are members here at the time, they might not even have noticed the forum.

However, Karen will alert people that their pet has been chosen and some will join after that. That's when we get to know them by name.

That is true. In one of th many dog training classes I have taken, there was a couple whose dog had been DOTD. They never knew we post comments! By the tim I met them, the comments were long gone re their dog. They were in class with their new puppy.

Freedom, when I nominated Fister, I didn't notice the forum, just looked at each COTD for a while. A few months later I saw PT - and joined. Then it took me 3 days until I started posting.

I remember that I used to have my nose always stuck to POTD and so when I turned it on, the pet's picture was half loaded and I screamed with excitment to my sister, I pulled her and hit her so she could listen to me and then told her Squirtle was POTD and later I turned my account on and saw Squirtle's email. lol!
