I'm still a newer PT member, but I've already really come to admire many of you. Gosh it's so hard to narrow it down any, but some of those who have particularly made impressions on me to this point have been:

Sandra - Your upbeat and loving posts always so wonderfully worded and kind. You sure have a gift for making one feel really good inside!

Tonya - You were one of the first PT people I felt a real connection with, since you and I have some of the same husband problems . I have really come to enjoy reading your stories and thoughts

Kay - Of course your photography and artistic talent has impressed me greatly, and you are obviously a blessing to the lives of many dogs, near or far.

Dukedogsmom - All you did for Chance and all you went through with that, one of the first things I saw when I started visiting PT. You were obviously Chance's guardian angel.

Cinder and Smoke - Wonderful posts of the adventures of Cinder and Smoke, always told with loving humor.

Aly - all your wonderful work with rescues truly touches my heart.

Glacier - Same as Aly

Julie - Can't get enough of the wonderful duo of Daisy and Molly! Such wonderful pups and your photos are always adorable.

Cayter - Really enjoy all your posts and Ozzy just steals my heart every time I see him.

RobiLee - Oh how I love seeing beautiful Katie and hearing your tales. You also always seem so upbeat and kind

KYS - Mom of two more gorgeous Akitas. Always a kind word to say in response to pictures and stories.

Camcampup - The very first PM I got was from you, welcoming me to pet talk! I was so pleasantly surprised and warmed by that.

Wolfsoul - You have a lot of good knowledge and have started very interesting posts such as the dog facts in Dog General, etc. PT would be dull without you!

Pam - Such a loving momma to your precious pups. I always love reading your posts and seeing pictures of the poodles.

Petlover - So wonderfully devoted to all animals, and kind to all people too. I think you have a wonderful heart and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend, especially the critters!

trayi52 - Your posts are always so heartfelt, kind and warm, never judgemental or criticizing. I think that is wonderful.

amoore - Like Trayi52, you always have a wonderfully kind word to say to all. Your Tiny and Jo Jo are so precious to see and hear about.

Dogz - Prince and Chubby and Digger and Otis and Nellie! What's not to love?! Also a fellow Minnesotan, eh?

PCB - Another one of the friendliest people I have met! PT has not been the same while you have been on vacation, that's for sure.

Bluekat - I have to smile every time I see your sig with your beautiful Blueberry. You always have a kind word to say too in your posts.

Tikeyas_mom - I haven't always agreed with your views, but I think you have a big heart and certainly an obvious love for all creatures.

Karen and Paul - I actually haven't met Paul, but I enjoy Karen's posts, almost always the advice you give I think is very good. Thank you both for Pet Talk. I truly look forward to being here a long time!

Gosh I am sure I'm leaving people out. Truly you all have my admiration and respect here, you all have made a difference to my days since I found Pet Talk! I guess this is essay enough as it is, but anyone I left out, just know you are all special to me and I truly appreciate each and every one of you!
