Have you ever tried to explain Pet Talk?

[k9krazee]

Ha...I rarely tell people, it took a long time for me to actually tell my parents! None of my friends know about it, and I like it that way!!

I don't talk to my friends about my online life. Most of them are weird about that kind of stuff. But I do tell my parents about different things about Pet Talk so they sort of "know" it as well as Border Collie Rescue board I'm on.

I tell people about it all the time.

On Thursday nights after bell choir rehearsal at church, we have a brief closing prayer and my friend Harry usually turns to me first and says, "Okay, whose cat or what member of your crazy "family" are we praying for this week?" Everyone who knows me pretty much knows about the websites and Pet Talk!

Only my sister really understands because she belongs to a pug forum and is just as crazy about her dogs as I am about my crew.

People at work think it's great that I've found people to relate to........they think I'm kinda strange because I don't have a lot of friends. Most other people I try to tell, just look at me with a blank expression.

This is my family.

Slick, if even your Mom doesn't know - how on earth did you ever explain the ~ ahem ~ interesting Christmas presents you bought me while she was with you Did you say you were buying them for Santa

I met you through Gini which really isn't that far off the mark.

What a great thread this is!! Everytime something has come up that's PT related, I have started to explain myself. At that point, I always get looks from anybody and everybody that I have three heads. All these people(including my whole family)think I'm crazy when I bring it up. I've learned to be happy with PT all by myself and bring it up only when necessary. No one can understand why I would want to associate with strangers I've met on the Internet

I told my mom, and shes always asking me if I told PT this, or that...like if something happy happened to the dogs, cat, or hamster

Oh yes all the time I am telling someone about Pet Talk & how to get on & ect.. Of course it leads into explaining all about it..

[dab_20]

All my friends think I'm weird when I tell them about it. They don't share my total love for animals as I do.

[lbaker]

Yeah Slick, blame it on Gini! If I remember correctly you and I met first in Seattle, before you went to the BBQ. That's OK.. Gini's easy to blame stuff on NO, WAIT! It's all Mario's fault!! Now I remember! You and Mario and me.. *oh, nevermind - "

How appropriate.

Thursday night church visits.

After what goes on Thursday during the day, it's nice to know someone is praying for us!

"Internet Kooks", well - I've been called worse. My son and DIL are just glad I have finally found some "crazies" that I've become close to, and that they have met and trust. What's not to like about people that sniff their dogs feet to check if they smell like fritoes??

Haha! I sniff Lily's feet at least once a day

Hehe, I like this thread. In 2006 I said that none of my friends knew. Now I've fully embraced my addiction and love for PT. I rarely tell people, but if they see me on my computer and ask what I'm doing I'll try to explain. Most don't really get it. When Findlay meeting time comes around and I tell people I'm going to Ohio to meet people at a dog park they think I'm crazy. I love it!

My boyfriend actually embraces PT. It's funny. Sometimes we'll do something, or I'll take pictures of something or something funny will happen and he's like, you should share on Pet Talk! And he's excited to go to a PT meeting!

LOL! That's Andy's answer for everything. "You should ask PT" or "You should post that on PT".
