I saw the banner headline and just like Johanna, tears came to my eyes.

None of my friends will ever understand my addiction to this site. But they have said that in their next life they would like to come back as one of my cats. So there is something that I am able to share about the joy of all pets.

I just wish that work didn't interfere quite so much with my time on Pet Talk.

How is it really possible to thank Karen and Paul for listening to Miss Hoppy and following her advice to set up this site?

What pleases me is that the majority of us realize how very special a place this is.........and are committed to keeping it that way.

Congratulations to every person who contributed to all of the 1,000,000 posts - wasn't it fun?

With much affection to all of you.

Gini, Rascal, Annie and Emma
