Blur, first of all - a big welcome to Pet Talk. I hope we can get to see pictures of your cats and your dogs soon.

I can only express my own personal concern regarding Steve Irwin and his actions with his son.

Regardless of Steve's long profession and experience and his confidence that his son would not be in any danger - why is it necessary to place his son even remotely in harms way?

He is a one month old baby........he deserves better..........he isn't going to remember this experience. Steve can train him carefully when he is old enough to understand.

But Steve has certainly gotten what he knew he would receive - plenty of publicity.

Ah yes, the ratings, we musn't forget the ratings. (living in Los Angeles, this is a BIG thing).

Steve Irwin is the kind of guy that you either love and admire or you just can't stand him.

But enough about Steve Irwin - and I hope you will start a thread and tell us more about yourself and your babies.
