SPLAIN THIS OCCIFER!! I'm meeting a dear friend I've never "met" and bringing illigal crabmeat from the Chesapeake Bay and THIS IS NOT PRODUCE, dude. It's allowed. So is Bailey's. And so is ~ whatever we find whilst there Some people even fly in Mario or his clonefriend.

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.

I only discuss PT with people I know are pet lovers. ALL of my family knows about it, my brother even emailed me pictures a long time ago to put on here. He loved the idea of people he didn't know, admiring his kitties.

Yes, I've tried to explain it to a few people and some get it and some think I'm crazy. My parents are now beginning to understand it more since I've been doing the Christmas card exchange for the last 4 years and also attending the annual PT LA BBQ for the last 3 years.

My friends and family know I am member of a "pet-lovers-group", but that's about it. I always gets lots of faces when people notice all the X-mas cards on my wall
My sis-in-law Liliane loves all pets too, and cats in particular, but she only speaks Dutch and a tiny bit of French... . That is mainly the reason why I am the only Belgian member here; English is the 3rd language here: lots of people understand it, but never enough to start chatting in English . Sooooooooooooo, that is why I just HAVE TO be such a blabbermouth: I represent a whole country

I must say my close friends, a few co workers and my mom know about PT. I must have done a pretty good job at explaining it because I never get any weird looks from them (but I'm not really sure they understand though). Besides everyone knows just how crazy I am about my dogs

If someone would have told me about PT, I have the feeling I would not have understood or I would not have been interested as well. Perhaps the thing is that you have to discover it by yourself...

I couldn't agree with that more!
