You know I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I think a good bit of the success of Pet Talk is Sandra! (and of course you too Karen and Paul! ) What I mean is that since the day she signed on as a member she has set an example with her compassionate caring posts that it became sort of a beacon to draw so many others in. Sandra, may we all be treated to 12,000 more! You go girl!
