Is it just me?

[Medusa]

Greetings and welcome to PT! When I first joined, it was due to the death of a rescue and I was distraught. I left for a while and came back and now I just have to log on daily. There are wonderful people here w/lots of encouragement, kindness, knowledge and information to share and I consider most, if not all, my friends. I'm sure you'll come to feel the same way w/time. Just stick around and jump right in.

I felt that way too, and sometimes still do. But as everyone else has said, just jump right in. You'll find that the people here are very welcoming. A good way to get to know people on here is to post stuff about you and your pets, a lot of times, depending on your posts, people might share similar stories and you'll get an insight into who they are.

My name is Summer by the way.

I felt like that too for awhile. I started by sharing stuff about my
RB dog Buddy. He was quite a dog.

Just jump right in & post on anything you like. Welcome to PT.

I lurked for a few years but once I joined, I felt like I already knew everybody and I jumped right in with both feet.. Jump right on in, the more you post, the better we get to know you!

Hi Irene You post away sweetie! You won't find a more welcoming and caring bunch of people in the world

Hi Irene. Many of us feel a bit like strangers at times, even those of us who have been around from the very beginning. It is much harder now because Pet Talk is so big and it is hard to keep track of who is who at times. Just remember that this is a forum and by its very nature when a thread is posted, it is open to anyone and everyone who wants to comment. So if you have something to say, type away. You have to be a little thick skinned too and not take it personally if no one seems to *notice you*. Many of us have only a limited time to devote to the board so we might only be able to read a few threads and probably reply to less than that.

Anyway, I'm going to go check out Louie's Dog of the Day page right now.
