pipersmom, I really wish you wouldn't stop posting in other parts of the board (maybe just take a break) but that is entirely up to you.

I felt compelled to say a couple of things since this seems to be a pretty good open discussion.

First...
After my Angus died, I really felt that no one liked Bon (ok not everyone is going to like a BIG drooly monster ) and he would never be accepted like Angus was.
But then there were a few people who told me it was through my pictures and stories that everyone learned to love my boy so much. So if I didn't post anything about him how could you all learn to love him

Guess my point is if you don't post much, we can't get to know you and your furkids! So post away!!!

Second...
I have to admit some of the first posts I look at is some from people I know, ones that have been on this board for quite a while or people that I have things in common with (the same type of dog...examples:
wolf_q & glacier own huskys or people with larger dogs like Bon)

So again, don't get discouraged over the amout of replies. If it falls short in a few days, by all means it up!
