My daugher reads on occasion, but because of her age, I haven't yet allowed her to join Pet Talk. She has posted once or twice, with my permission, under my name.

I have no relatives that have joined, and no friends either, but I have made friends, for sure, through this wonderful tool!! Sandra, Pam, Rachel, Karen (Israel), Jackie, Gini, Karen (the big boss, Mayor Karen), Popcornbird, etc etc etc (there are many others, too numerous to name). I have had the pleasure of meeting Souraya (Doggiesarethebest), Sandra (Tatsxxx11), and Karen, who are all members here. I keep in close touch with the others by phone and email. They have become my "best" friends, truly!! Selfishly, I don't want to bring others into my little private place! But I will admit to sending a link to the Dog, Cat or Pet of the Day, quite often, to family members and friends, who I know will enjoy seeing the honored ones!!!
