I've matured with PT. When I first joined, I wasn't really fully aware of forum 'etiquette'. I thought it was OK to use txt r8in () and to not really put much thought into posts. Now I know I should use the same intellect on Pet Talk that I do when writing in English class!

I've learned so much, not only about pets, but about other countries and cultures, including politics, humour, wildlife, family and everyday issues and heaps more besides. I've learned about the plight of BSL breeds and the controversy surrounding issues such as hunting and outdoor cats. I've learned how to express myself firmly and clearly before getting angry if someone posts something I don't agree with. I've basically learned a lot more about communicating with the adult world!

Most of all, I've made great friends, and have given myself the excuse, when an available time turns up, to travel the globe and visit them!

I love this place!
