I'll gladly particEpate! Use my [email protected] address, please! I think the email idea is a great one, saves postage, and means more people in our global community can participate without fretting about how long mail takes to get anywhere!

Thanks, luckies4me for starting this idea rolling!

And I think this is how the secret non-Pet Talk idea should work.

Before Valentine's Day, pick someone you know who is extra kind to animals, or simply just loooooves his or her pet sooooo much. Send that person a secret Valentine, just signed (with or without a note) from -

Your Pet Talk Valentine -
Where we know every pet is special! and so are you!

and if you know they are Internet saavy, put PetoftheDay.com/talk and ask them to come and see if they can guess who here sent their Valentine.

Maybe closer to the day, okay, February first, I'll start a thread called "Pet Talk Secret Valentines" and we can all post a little sentance or so about who they sent a Secret PTV to and why ... that'd be fun to see what other animal lovers you know who aren't here, and what you admire or love about them!

And maybe we'll add some new people to Pet Talk, but in any case, we'll be spreading joy and love and kindness to animals around the world!

In my case, of course, the people* I send it to will probably know it's me, because I tell every person I meet about the site, but some of you might have better success at being Secret than I!

*I will probably do several, because I know too many good animal-loving folks!
