Aw gosh. Bella and Ripley say they are so happy that they have helped you see their curly relatives in a different light! I can't say that PT has changed my mind about animals but I certainly have come to know and respect all breeds better. Meeting other PTers and chatting with them about their pets through this message board or through PM has really made me feel that I "know" some of these pets so much better.

Although I am still working on seeing the merits of having a "rattie" as a pet I do feel better about them as a result of learning about them. In fact some of the pictures are so cute! Education is the key to acceptance. I have also enjoyed Popcornbird's bird stories and who can forget Logan's "zippity do dah" (sp?) singing Roger! LOL!
