I've learned how nice it is to share a common passion with people, near and far; the love and support that strangers can provide is sometimes more valuable than those close by in our lives AND that many people will think I'm nuts for my devotion to my "online friends" and I couldn't care less!

Those are the "emotional things" I've learned. Other things include: cats don't like change (thanks Catty and Freedom), Choke collars need to be used correctly if at all, Change a dog's food slooooooooowly, etc...
