Leslie, I completely understand your thinking in this, I have also drifted away. Although I like to talk about other things, my main interest is my dogs, getting to know other people's pets, pictures of their pets, and discuss problems with other people about our pets.
I know this will not be popular, but many of the young people are very mature, for instance Kfamr, but so many of them are so silly it's boring to read the posts, I understand I don't have to read the posts, but there are so many of them. I have a msn group and Kfamr was a member in excellent standing, an Ass't manager found out she was not 18 and they deleted her, but there was nothing I could do because it was part of our rules.

I enjoy talking to the young people like Kfamr, she so loves her pups and can talk about them all day, lol. We had quite a few other young people who were true animal lovers like Daisy's Mom.
I think it has evolved into more of a chat venue than what it was meant to be, let's hope that it goes back to the original or close to
"Pet Talk".
Leslie, I do hope you come back and check once in a while, I do, and when I have the time I try to post in Dog of the Day.
Lots of hugs to the Pups
Jackie
