(VIRTUAL ADVENTURE) Willy is missing!!!

[Soapets]

I'm putting this in all of these threads about Annie and Willy:

I've corresponded with Lorraine quite a bit through PM's re. these threads. We understand why some people are upset, and we have learned a valuable lesson from this. Maybe all PT'ers can learn a valuable lesson from this. We've seen other similar threads posted, which was what gave me this idea in the first place. The problem this time was that it was made so realistic, and we think that's where we need to make sure we don't repeat the mistake.

I posted in Wenisrubber's thread about her truely missing Isis that I will always make sure that any "pretend" thread I participate in from now on is clearly marked as such.

Again, we apologize for anyone who was offended by this elaborate "hoax" and we have taken steps to change the thread titles and inform people that it is all "pretend" in the offending threads. We will continue our "story" now on a lighter note, and if people want to follow the story and play along, fine. If not, that's fine too.

OMG, I saw this last night and was so upset. I've been very busy and haven't had a chance to check back until now. I'm so thankful it was just a joke but gosh I've been so worried. I almost called you last night Lorraine! I wish I had so I'd known it wasn't true.

I know you guys meant well but I think I worried a few new gray hairs over this! As long as both cats are safe and everything is cleared up I'll get over it. No hard feelings.

I wasn't offended by the threads, I have been out of action here for a while and seeing the thread saying Willy was missing came as a bit of a surprise although it was soon obvious that it was all in fun.

Glad to hear that Willy has been found! I was very worried about him. Willy you shouldn't worry your mommy like that again!
