    There used to be a message board and chat room called "Acme Pet" that a lot of pet people posted and chatted on. We were all very attached to our cyber-home! Then, one day, it was closed, just gone.

    We were a group of lost souls, searching the internet for a new home and each other. Some of us - myself, Glacier and Shelteez I know right offhand, I'm sure there are others - ended up here. We are the AcmePet Refugees.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Well, we are glad you found us - consider yourself full-fledged citizens, refugees no longer!

    I just sort of stumbled upon it, and had some questions to ask about my dog's behavior to see if anyone could help explain it. And since, I've just decided to lurk, posting at whatever peaks my interest.

    A co-worker who reads PotD regularly told me about it, and suggested that I submit Smudge for CotD. After that, the Cuteness Waves emanating from the screen magnetized me in!

    After I adopted Nikki (I still miss her!) I started to Google for cat sites. I stumbled onto PT this way. I believed I lurked awhile then I joined in Feb. of 2004. I love PT and everyone here is special. Also if it wasn't for PT I wouldn't have met who I consider my girlfriend, Moosmom! We still gab on the phone almost every day.

    MY RBGF had the Edster and she was not able to keep him around because of her chemo and the litter issues.


    MAtter of fact he came to live with me in January of 2002!! (have to post a GOTCHA thread!)

    I Lost my GF and went looking for a site to help me get some ? answered about cats.

    One of my first posts was about Temptations cat treats and how owners should watch out for them-Someone suggested that they were Kitty Crack.
    That's how badly cats wanted them.

    A few posts later I had to tell everyone that I walked into the room and thought that he was dead. I couldn't tell which side of him was the front and thought he had a broken neck-turned out it was his arse end I was looking at!


    Ever since then it's the only site that I visit RELIGIOUSLY and find other pet sites to be rather pedestrian, boring and have none of the charm that this site and it's members have!


    -Remember, I called you all CHARMING!

    IT's been a great ride and hope it goes on forever.


    I love you all!
