When I first responded to this thread, I thought I was innocently adding my input to a question asked. I had no idea things would get this heated. I was upset, at first. I felt as if I was being attacked and demeaned for falling in love with a Golden Retriever. I think PowerLounger, like many others here, was posting out of frustration, not hatred or disrespect. He/she has already apologized. We all love our pets dearly, no one is questioning that. Everyone that I have met in Pet Talk, including Powerlounger, have been wonderful, loving, responsible people that happen to have one thing in commom. We love to talk about animals!

I started the responses to this thread and I would appreciate, if you all would let me end it. Please. Let's all move on to more positive things.

Animals are great and so are people that care about them, lets talk about that

We are are having a pet contest and need your imput! It's gonna be fun! Look for the posts!

Peace all!
