Have you ever tried to explain Pet Talk?

[Pam]

Really only my immediate family knows about PT and they all think it's a pretty neat place. My hubby has trouble sometimes keeping everyone matched up with their pets but he is getting better. He and my son both belong to a couple of car forums so they have online friends as well, although nothing like the friends I have. My daughter has been drawn in and is a PTer too so she understands this place.

If I were to tell my co-workers they wouldn't understand and think I was dealing with some internet Kooks. haha! I guess I am an internet Kook.

Yes, I have tried to explain PT - but only a very few times because of that face. Years ago, I tried to explain PT to several cat loving people from work, but they also gave me the face.

But - by now, it all seems very normal to me and of course it IS normal.....for some folks. "Internet KOOK" - Pam.

As for my family, many of them are also PetTalkers (sirrahned, sirrahsim, sirrahved, chrangharris and persianmom)

I have met PT'ers in person quite a few times now and they are my friends. I don't think I would ever meet "strangers" except for my animal loving friends....but then, this is really the only place I come to regularly now. I relate the best to animals loving people....All of my daughters use the internet often to "chat" with other young married women in wife and mommy forums. I have used the internet to make friends for as long as I have had a computer - about fifteen years now, and still stay in contact with the very first buddy I made those years ago
