I didn't lurk too long (only about five days) before I just couldn't stop myself from telling someone how much I liked their dog. I was nervous at first, but since it was so well received, it sort of encouraged me to post more and more. Now you can't shut me up. Don't worry about where you belong. Although there seem to be clique's many of us do not really know each other outside of Pet Talk, and it is our love of animals that pull us together. Some of us may have different opinions or ideas, but by sharing those opinions and ideas we learn and become better pet owners. Welcome aboard.
I'm off to see if you have introduced Louie.
ETA: Found it. I hope Louie is feeling better real soon.
