What has happened to Pet Talk? :(

[Daisy and Delilah]

I've noticed the same thing. So many people have gotten so busy. I love to come to the board when I can but I don't have as much time as I used to. I've also noticed the number of members online has gone down alot, almost every day.

Ya, usually when I'm on there will only be about 6 or so others on at the same time, and the rest are guests.

It could be that alot of people are going on vacation, or just wish to take respite from PT.

I am so sorry about your BF, cancer is such a terrible thing to go through no matter what the type. I am glad he is on his last round of chemo though, I hope he starts fully recovering soon! Prayers going out to you. I am also glad to hear from you, I hope Kai and Dylan are prospering

I should say, my post # has shrank considerably, I don't know if it has gone noticed or not. I've been so busy between my new job and other things. I still work at six flags but I am in a new department now and I am so much happier. Although it is ALOT hotter then last year, this job is great, I can't believe I stayed in games for a whole season. I look back and can't think of a way I'd have made myself go back! What exactly do I do? I am a costume character, yes, a costume character xD I've also had the FFA convention, sweet sixteens and the like. Last weekend I got mysteriously sick, and by 2nd day my mom called the doctor and I went to the ER on tuesday night. I was diagnosed with a "mild" case of pnemonia. DR told me to go because I have a heart condition and they were closing. I'm fine now but man I was there for at least 5 hours Anyway, that sums it up for me. As for the new dog, that should be happening within a matter of the next 6 months or so.


As for no one else posting, I've noticed quite a few reduced posters as well. I hope they at least check in soon

I know I have been gone for couple of months. A lot has been going on, both personal and with the rescue. So, I really apologize. I did not have internet for about a month and a half either. But I will be around again.

I am on much less, and I do miss PT. Sometimes I get on and . . . don't even recognize some of the posters! New members keep coming in and I am not on here enough to keep up just now.

As the Alzheimer's progresses with my Dad, he requires more and more of my time. Adding Tasha, a puppy mill rescue, has taken its toll, she also needs more time and attention to help her adapt to life as a house pet. (She still isn't house trainined. ) Also been busy with renovation projects inside, plus the summer is MY season, I spend loads of time outdoors. Veggie garden, flowers, walking the dogs, etc. So I am normally off the computer more in nice weather. All told, my computer time is WAY down.

I would imagine there are a host of reasons:
1) if you say you are just lurking lately, I bet there are alot of others doing the same
2) I don't have to mention the economy SUCKS! Less lesiure time, less money/time for internet, people losing their jobs or working two to make ends meet, people losing homes much less internet access.
3) "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" J. Lennon

This pesky "responsible adult" stuff is a pain! LOL!

Unfortunately, most of the "guests" are members who are "invisible"

Oh yes! I would be one of those people! Didn't even think about that!
