Hi all,

If you click on the links below, you will see threads that I submitted with pictures of my "kids", which never really got much in the way of comments, replies, etc. (Thanks to those of you who did!) I have to admit, it bothered me. We all love our babies and are proud of them, otherwise we would have never found this board to begin with. My animals are like my children and if I went to a board that was all about children and submitted photos, and got only one or two replies--my feelings would be a little hurt.

I have "sworn off" this website on several occasions, but couldn't help myself but come back because I absolutely love looking at everyone else's pups, including DOTD. I try to stay away from most of the threads, except Memorials, because I get tempted to chime in and honestly, every subject seems to be so "black and white" to a lot of folks here that it's a little scary to express an opinion.

I also do not spend as much time on the boards as many of you do, because I work during the day and help with my husband's business at night and travel every other weekend to visit with my parents, who are elderly. Therefore, I can't join in as many conversations as I might like, so as to become as well known or as familiar as many of you are.

Well, I just wanted to say what I've felt compelled to say for sometime, but didn't want to get into any arguments or have anyone talk down to me.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
