Who/What makes you glad to have found PT?

[popcornbird]

There are so many things that make me glad to have found PT. I never intended to look for a pet forum, nor did I have any wish to join one. I just ended up on PT one morning when I decided to click on *Pet Talk* after about a year of visiting petoftheday.com. I never left.

I have been here for over two years now, and PT has become an everyday routine and a huge part of my daily life. No day is complete without visiting PT. I love that I have a place where I can posts pics of my pets and talk about them without being teased for my love of animals. In real life, people just don't understand why I love my birds and animals in general so much. Here on PT, I don't have that problem. Everyone shares my love for animals, and everyone understands why I love my pets so much.

I also love this place because I never get bored anymore. Before PT, when I had nothing to do, I *really* had nothing to do. I would get bored during the summer and during vacation when we weren't going anywhere, and I was staying at home, most of the time. NOW, I look forward to summer so I can have more time to spend on PT. It really is a pleasure to be a part of this board, and to have made such wonderful friends on it.

As to people, while EVERYONE on PT means a great deal to me in one way or another, there are several here that I have become very close to during my years on PT, and some that I love even more than my friends in real life. I have so many good friends here that I love and cherish, but if I name them all, the list will be endless. Those of you who mean a great deal to me all know who you are.

I don't know how life would be without PT. After being here for over 2 years, I can't really remember how things were before I joined this site, and I can't really remember what I used to do on the internet. Now its like the only site on the internet for me is PT. I hardly visit any other, and I'm always late in checking my emails and responding to them now........which isn't good, but checking PT comes before checking my emails.
