Can't say it ever bothers me really, but sometimes I see the family of a dog, cat, or pet of the day join and wish they might come share more with us about their pet! Some people join specifically to say something about one of the pets of the day, ask a health or behavior question, or even just post a memorial for their RB pets, but don't have the time or desire to make PT a regular part of their lives, and I understand that.
