Heather, what a wonderful thread! Thanks so much for starting this. Indeed, Pet Talk is experiencing some growing pains right now but I think we need to take a break, sit back, and really think about what Pet Talk means to each of us.

I have been blessed because for the first time in my life, I can actually say that I DO have best friends, and they are all Pet Talkers. The bond that I have formed with these people will never be broken and I consider myself very lucky indeed.

Thank you Karen and Paul for a job well done.

Hugs to everyone.

Willie, I was lurking a bit today and I can't tell you how happy I am that you are posting again. You are a valued member of Pet Talk and you are missed when you are gone.
