I joined Petendipity a couple months ago when I entered Abby in their contest (t's a pretty quiet board) & I have been in a couple msn dog groups for quite awhile (dogsinthehouse, which is very active, too) & another private one...plus a couple other smaller groups of friends I've met through the dog groups. They all have scheduled chats a couple times a week...other than dogsinthehouse, which is every night. I've been here a couple weeks & love how active it is!!
