This is what PT is all about!

We did have some good times. I know if I reread some of the Golden Oldies I will have a ache in my heart for some of those members who were so dear to us and have gone on to other aspects of their lives. Sometimes I wish they would check in to let us know how they and their fur kids are doing.

I agree Rachel. Randi, this is what makes some of us stick around so long (in my case 7 years ). We have laughed and cried over these threads. The thread about the paralyzed dog named Bella inadvertently led me to name my dog Bella. After I brought her home, hubby and I were throwing names around. He came up with Bella. I had been so absorbed in that thread (unknown to him) so I almost took it as a sign that she should be named Bella in light of that poor little poodle girl. Thanks for all of the work in putting this thread together. It is truly what PT is all about.

I remember that poor poodle, Bella, and you getting your Bella shortly after. That was so sad, but such a nice turn of events that led you to get your Bella girl, and give her that name. What memories I have from this website.

Ahem, not to change the subject or anything...but I think Rachel and I were the first on PT to ever meet. One thread I will always cherish is Rachel babysitting Graham for a day or two, and his blooming romance with her pretty girl, Hannah. I have no idea what the thread title was, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. On Graham's final day with us I told him to remember to go visit Rachel and Hannah and Tucker when he was free from his pain. *sniff*

Here it is!

Here it is!

Wow, that made me cry I miss Graham so much. He was my soul-mate dog I wish I could have seen the pictures, but at least I got to read about how Rachel described him

((((hugs)))) to Rachel for writing such nice things about Graham. And (((((hugs)))) to Freckles for finding that thread for me *sniff*

Maybe we could bug Rachel just a little to try and dig them up for us. Freckles thank you for finding that thread. It was a sweet one for sure.

Oh Randi, thanks for going to all of this work.

Sometimes I think that new members have no idea of what a history we have here together. Over the years I have spit on my monitor more times and almost wet my pants laughing.

We have gone together on silly adventures - created a cyber bar where we can all hang out and hang loose. (and throw food)

I can't tell you how many times I have sat here sobbing........when I have read about pet illnesses and their loss.

I was accused not too long ago of being part of a clique. That made me feel terrible, but I realized the person had no way of knowing that so many of us have met in person - have become real true friends. So our posts have a familiarity to them that you might not understand unless you know the history behind all of our stories.

I hope all new members soon get to enjoy the same experiences and then they can understand how close we all have become and how much we care about each other.

But Randi - you REALLY are the BEST! ♥♥♥

[Randi]

Aww, thank you!

It actually wasn't much work, as I had all these thread titles saved already.

I was hoping that people who wants to join PT, would look into some of these threads, to see what it is we like here, before they join. PT must be one of the friendliest forums in the world - let's not have it ruined!

Yes Gini, many of us have been through so much together - good things and bad things, we've been here for each other, and I hope we'll continue in that spirit.
