What has happened to Pet Talk? :(

[Reachoutrescue]

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!

Even I haven't been visiting PT as often as I used to and I've been doing more lurking than posting. Sometimes I'm just too tired or rushed to post. I did take some new pictures of my cats today so hopefully I'll be able to resize, upload, and post some new pictures very soon. Summer is always a slow time around here.

I am not on my pc as often as I used to be...! I still love it here though!!

I'm a newbie, but I really enjoy PT. Unfortunately, I work full time and don't get to play on the computer as much as I'd like. I also spend time on the Bird Channel when I can which is a great deal of fun and full of wonderful folks like PT, but again, sometimes it's days before I can get on to chat with my bird buddies. Currently, my boss is out today so I'm slacking at my desk! Don't tell anyone!

I'm there with you! My boss is out, and my computer is on the fritz at home, so it's either check in here or not at all!! I'm here just about every day, though, but I'm probably one of the "newer" members - just since October.
