Oh, Abby, I am sorry that you feel you never made any friends. Pet Talk has become so large that I realize that people sometimes feel lost, especially when there are others who seem to know and keep up with so much of what is going on here. I have been around here from the very beginning and I feel that way too, so I just drop by when I can, pick out one or two threads (which is all I have time for) and comment when I feel the urge.

You have racked up a lot of posts in a short time and by that I can tell you have given Pet Talk quite a bit of devotion. Take a breather or lurk or whatever. I'm thinking you might want to participate once again. There are many ways to enjoy Pet Talk.

In the meantime, I am really sorry for how you feel.
