What Pet Talk means to me

[krazyaboutkatz]

Great thread Anna.

PT was the first forum that I ever joined and I don't think that I could ever leave. I've met so many wonderful people and I've learned so much more about cats which has really helped me with my own cats. PT has also helped me with the passings of both my Pepper and Starr and with Storm's PU surgery or even when one of my cats have been sick. Thanks again Karen and Paul for creating such a wonderful pet forum with the most caring people that you could ever meet.

Like some of the others above, I also "grew" on Pet Talk. I was twelve when I joined, pretending to be a vet! I was typical young girl needing guidance, along with a few lessons in maturity. Now I am almost twenty, working full time as a Pharmacy Tech and training to become nationally certified. I lost my internet for quite some time, and with my busy life it`s been hard to post, but I always lurked and thought about everyone and their furkids each day! Without the guidance and advice many of the Pet Talkers here gave me throughout my teenage years, it surely would have taken me much longer to mature and learn many of the lessons I learned on here. Besides, how many other people I know can say they have cried, laughed and shared their most precious memories with people all around the world? Not many, that`s for sure. There are very few places on the 'net that are this wonderful. And in the state of things in the world right now, it is refreshing to know there`s always a place that one can always return to for a smile, or a {{hug}}, or a laugh. I`ve always been amazed and appreciative of all that Karen and Paul have done to make Pet Talk the "home away from home" to so many. Thank you very much!

It has been amazing to be a part of so many peoples' lives, and vice versa! We never knew what to expect when we started Pet Talk, just wanted a place where people could communicate with each other, and congratulate each day's featured pets, and it has grown and grown! We are so glad when people stop by whom we haven't seen for a time. As long as we can, this place will always be here for you. Love you all!

I have been a member of PT for just over a year. It is the only "forum" I belong to or chat on AT ALL. I don't need to go elsewhere; this is where I feel I belong. I have grown very fond of many people and their pets; I've hosted a party that I hope will be at least annual and I've learned how these PT people can pull you through a rough patch. Yes, it is like family. It's funny (to me) the squabbles remind me of my husband and his siblings. They're all VERY DIFFERENT personally and especially politically, and things can get heated. I know they'll iron out; I know they will here, too. I know some of the people in those PT squabbles, and they're reasonable adults whe are solid in their convictions. They also have a bit of an imp in their personalities, so they push peoples buttons; it happens. As I said; it'll iron out.

Anna, thank you for the thread, it was needed. Karen and Paul; thank you for a great family!!

As a relative new-comer, I have to say that Pet Talk has been great fun. I hope that those PT-ers who are firmly entrenched in this site don't mind us folks comin' in and changing things. . .but as the song says, everything must change. New people are just another opportunity to learn, make a new friend or just giggle at some different silly pictures. I spend time on the Bird Channel as well and have made some very firm and wonderful connections there. Sites like PT and BC are so important to people like us who share their lives with their companion animals. There are many others out there who don't get it - I have been soundly ridiculed and even psycho-analyzed for the connection I have with my birds. Whatever - they round out my life as much (if not more sometimes ) as the humans in my life do.

Something nice because of PT: A close friend of mine went to Malta and because I had connected with Karyn674 who lives there, Leslie was able to meet her. They had a great time together. . .how cool is that!!!

Love to you all!

I totally agree with this statement. I have sat at my desk here at work and cried when I read of animals going to the Bridge. I also laugh out loud at times reading posts. My co-workers must think I'm bonkers. But I wouldn't change it for the world!

hahahaha.. like that would happen... lol

PT is a place where I can be myself.. freely.. without people thinking I´m nuts.. well.. they still do but anyway.. hehe..

like said.. we´ve all shared our happiest times as well as our saddest.. it´s normal to have a fight here and there.. everybody does sometimes.. we are a family.. and even teh best of the families have them at some point...

we are not perfect.. but we sure are perfect together.. with all the malfunctions and all..

I´m really glad for this place.. don´t know what I´d do with out it.. or without yo guys to talk to... I do miss a lot of you folks that now got busier and randomly post.. but you are always on my mind... don´t be strangers..

((hugs)).. to all...

P.S. shall I sit with my bro... he´s so much fun.. hehe

[KYS]

PT has meant something to everyone by connecting us with our love for animals
and being able to share a bit of our life whether happy or sad.

What Pet Talk means to me.....

I would have a much more difficult time getting thru this very difficult time in my life without all of you. I need this place and the support you all have provided to me.

I've stayed out of the nasty threads because I just can't take it at this time in my life. I wanted to say that everyone needs to stop, take a deep breath and quit the bickering. Everyone has their own opinions, we are all different people, we all think differently, shouldn't be such a big deal, there are worse things in life, trust me!!

I love you all, thank you for being here.
