Bit late in saying 'Thank You', too (time differences Down Under). There IS something special about Pet Talk...there is a maturity here that has nothing to do with age, a generosity that comes right from the heart & a love of pets that lights up cyberspace. The moderators set this tone which 'collects' like-minded people.
I know what RachelJ means about wishing she had little cards to share the site with others she meets.
An idea which is a little like that...all of the rescue people who communicate thro' the OzDogRescue site here in australia have decided that we'll wear a small ribbon of a certain colour when we go to pet events & places. Then we'll always recognize each other.
Once again, thank you, Karen, Paul & all the Pet Talkers from whom I've learned so much & for whom I have the greatest respect as people and animals lovers.
