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..

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.

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 - "

Just work with me on this, OK Laurie??? Mom didn't even know I went down that weekend. As for the Customs Occifer....yes sir, I'm going to meet a friend in Seattle. How long have I known her? Well, about 4 years.

Like I would tell him the truth about meeting you over the Net a couple of months before.

I haven't tried to explain pet talk to too many people. I mentioned to one of my best friend's from high school that I was going to California for work, and decided to go out early to meet people I only new online she was concerned. I sort of explained it away by explaing Staci (shais_mom) had met them all before, and Staci and I worked together at Sears...known her for years. Mostly true. We worked at the same Sears store, at the same time, and knew some of the same people. We didn't really meet in person until our first Pet Talk meeting at the dog park...Close enough!!! As for my co-workers that were also going to California, I just said I was going early to spend some time with friends and left it at that.

As for family, we did have to explain some last summer when my brother died. While I'm not sure if they really understood, but they were all impressed by Phred's willingness to drive 3 hours and help with 8 dogs he had met a few times, and with the tree donation and poem from people we met online.
