As someone who has been here almost from day one, I certainly want to acknowledge this milestone. Amazing how much this *little website* has impacted the lives of so many. Although there have been times I wished that it wouldn't have grown as big as it is, I can't help but enjoy meeting many of the new members and their pets who join us. So Pet Talk will evolve and hopefully there will always be a place here for Hannah and Tucker and me.

To all the friends whom I have met here and cherish dearly, you are such an important part of my life. I doubt that you can possibly understand just how much you mean to me. Thank you Karen and Paul for making that possible.

Miss Hoppy, although we don't see or hear from you often enough, my thinking is that you have your paw print all over the philosophy of this site. Hugs to you too dear.
