You could have had a lot more if you would have signed up for the Pet Talk Christmas card swap!

You are so,right! I wanted to, I wasn't sure about postage. If I bought a book of American stamps is the postage the same for every state? Then Canada post went on strike, they like to go on strike around Christmas, the devils. Hopefully next year I will stop making excuses as I would really enjoy participating, the giving and receiving! I'll bet you all enjoyed it so much!

I was just wondering if other folks would like to write some poems about their cats or pets. On the appropriate thread of course. I would love to read them, that's for sure. I would also like to know if any long term cat lovers ( peeps over 50) would ever get a kitten again. Talk about a pain in the arse. Lily is 2 and a bit now, and is a juvenile delinquent. Talk about 'tude. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat, my husband says. Me too but.......what a tornado, cats a maniac. She's part Bengal, might explain a bit. I think next time we will adopt a cat who's at least one or two.

Absolutely! And we have an old - but fun thread called Cat Haiku, too!

Here is a happy news story about people and their dogs making visits to senior centers. I believe this makes an impact on people. Kids, senior citizens, people experiencing stressful situations, and more. In a previous job we had a therapy dog and her owner visit every other week, and they would sometimes use an elevator near our office to get to another part of the building. That was such a treat, just to have a few minutes in a busy day to love on a beautiful and very well behaved doggie.

I just had to share this, it's just SO freaking weird to me. So, these people wrote an article or something like that, and referred to this sea otter as chubby. So this adorable sea otter is really fat. No bloody way 'round it. I saw a pic of the cute little darling and I instantly assumed it was pregnant with at least six babies. I'm talking huge belly here peeps. Now, there are letters of apology written for " fat shaming " the bloody sea otter. Like ....really. Do you think the sea otter was offended, do you think it gives one measly s*it. It's been in captivity and is overfed. Simple as that. Cute little bugger doesn't need a written apology, just needs to be fed less or maybe he's just a fat dude. I don't know why this irritates me so much but an apology for calling a otter fat, when he is clearly very fat, is merely an observation and a fact. I have never seen a fat otter before, well now I have. There is just so much time in the day, I realize that. But some things are just so assanine it gets me sad. 🙄
