WHO or WHAT inspired you to join PT?

[RICHARD]

MY RBGF had the Edster and she was not able to keep him around because of her chemo and the litter issues.


MAtter of fact he came to live with me in January of 2002!! (have to post a GOTCHA thread!)

I Lost my GF and went looking for a site to help me get some ? answered about cats.

One of my first posts was about Temptations cat treats and how owners should watch out for them-Someone suggested that they were Kitty Crack.
That's how badly cats wanted them.

A few posts later I had to tell everyone that I walked into the room and thought that he was dead. I couldn't tell which side of him was the front and thought he had a broken neck-turned out it was his arse end I was looking at!


Ever since then it's the only site that I visit RELIGIOUSLY and find other pet sites to be rather pedestrian, boring and have none of the charm that this site and it's members have!


-Remember, I called you all CHARMING!

IT's been a great ride and hope it goes on forever.


I love you all!

I had joined a small cat forum through yahoo but didn't really like it. They had some other links on there and I saw COTD listed so I took a look at it. I then clicked on the pet talk link and went to cat health. I had a question to ask about my RB Pepper so I joined the same day. I think that Sandra was the first one to welcome me aboard and I've been hooked ever since.

[Barbara]

I bought a book that was about interesting websites. And there was a pet section that recommended COTD/DOTD. Then for quite some time I watched COTD on a daily basis. And then I sent in a picture of Filou. And Filou became COTD.
I saw all the answers in his thread in the Pet talk section and I was so excited. So I decided I will come back to other kitties too as I loved it so much. The rest is history.
My oldest PT friend is Sasvermont who posted in Filou's thread

I was searching for information on Boston terriers and came upon the site. So happy I did. Don't know what I'd do without you guys!

[slick]

I was browsing a Rescue site who had a link to POTD. For months I only looked at the COTD, DOTD, and POTD until one day I saw the link to Pet Talk. I lurked there for about a month.

December 2002 was the day I joined. At that time my RB Speckles showed signs of diabetes (or so I thought) and I posted for some information.

Even though I don't have much time for PT anymore, I thank God for it every day. PT has brought me a wealth of information; it's a place where we can all share a few laughs and a few drinks in the cyber bar. Moreover, PT has brought me friendship that I've never known before. I've never truly loved a female friend until now. I'm so blessed.

My sister told me about it. Her husky, Maverick, was a dog of the day. She talked me into sending Cassie and Boomer's pictures in. I started reading and responding pretty faithfully after Boomer got Dog of the Day. Lots of nice people on board!!

I don't remember why I joined. Is there a way to search for posts older than one year?

[lvpets2002]

I joined so I could talk about my babies & other's peoples babies.. I love to see all the pictures of all babies.. I like reading all the different subjects & meeting all the new friends.. Oh yes my babies love exchanging gifts with their boy & girl friends.. Oh yes I love PT Christmas Card && Gift Swaping.. Well that just about covers it..

[GILL]

I ran into it from a rescue site, when I saw a picture of Bailey. Thanks Moosmom. She is the one that posted Bailey. I have really got too stay away from Donna as it seems that every time I talk to her the CREW grows. So Thanks Donna for Bailey, Lenny, Bart, ET, Dimetri, And Precious. Lenny our Deaf baby was at the same shelter as Bailey. So that kind of stated the whole rescue and transport thing.
So thank you Moosmom we have met and talked with a lot of really great and funny people.
By the way you missed out on Precious, she is a cuddle bug lap cat.

My Mom had had her iMac set up and running, and she wanted her home page changed.

I looked for 'daily cats' or something...and found a COTD page, a tiny kitten who was deceased. We both read her story and just awww'd - it really touched us.

So I found the main COTD site and made that her homepage. This was in 2003 or something. She looks at the cats, but not the forum. I poked my nose into the forum about a year later.

And stayed stuck like Crazy Glue!

Those were the days, eh? I can't find my first post, which might explain WHY I joined. I found posts close to it, one was 9/17/02, I think...but, I seemed to already 'know' people by then. That is odd, since I would have been a member for only 2 weeks.

I stumbled upon the site when researching about the best type of dog food for Mocha & Missy
