What Pet Talk means to me

**davidpizzica** · 11-12-2009, 09:00 AM

Pet talk is my extended family. I feel that I can talk to members here about the many changes in my life and get real support. Without PT I would't have found a dear friend in Donna (Moosmom) whom I'd do anything for.

I have to bring this thread back on top.

Seriously,

Do you go through the day an NEVER get a PT related laugh or thought?

It's either...

"What would a PTer do, think, laugh or ???? about this situation?"

----------

I was in the store today and bought a 24 pack of cheap cat food. For some reason I thought about meeting up with a fellow PTer that would see me buying that, then rolling their eyes as they walked away-wondering why I was not buying the GOOD STUFF for the kittehs!

My busy life keeps me away from PT also. I lurk for maybe 10 min a day during the week and hardly at all on the weekends. It's not that I don't think of PTers, it's just that my life has changed and my priority is now with my health. The two-four hours I spent on the internet is now spent on the telephone.....

sometimes past midnight.

Recently I've had alot of trouble at work, worried about my job, worried about money, worried about Max but tonight I stopped for a minute and I realized that the one constant in my life is PT. No matter how long I stay away for whatever reason, I come back "home" again. Every January when I'm putting my Christmas stuff away, I sit down and take a look at all my cards. All but one are from PTers. You might think this is stupid but I first joined the card exchange in 2003 and I've kept all the cards that I've received since then from PTers. It's quite the stack and every now and again when I feel low, I pull down the cards the letters and go through each one. They mean so much to me and I feel the love and support that comes with each one.

So what does PT mean to me? Family, support, laughter, tears, microwaved peeps, slushies, hunky fireman, Thursdays, lasting friendships...and above all love.

Oh Slick, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one

I've also kept all of the PT Christmas cards that I've received and I get more of these than Christmas cards from family and friends. I'm very proud and happy to be part of the PT family.

I have all mine too!!!

I forgot to sign up this year, but have still got so many great cards from PTers!

Same here! I was in the card exchange two Christmases ago and I never put the pictures and cards away. I put away the Christmas basket they were in, put the photos and cards in another basket, and two Christmases later it's still on my side table!

Mary i have to agree with you, i forgot to mention how much I have learn't from PT about cats, it really has educated me, and my friends consider me the one who knows a lot, when i really don't but i sure know more now thanks to everyone here,and it has helped me take better care of my kitties and be aware of things i never was before, so thanks PT people you are the best.
