Casper and Kitty and family:
As a 'dog side' person , I would say that you guys are always welcome with extremely open arms!
The way I see it, the Dog Talk boards are for anyone who loves dogs, is curious about dogs, has (positive) opinions or advice about dogs, and/or is owned by dog(s)! You were a dog owner, and have practical advice to share. And even if you didn't have that experience as a dog owner, your thoughts would certainly be welcomed!
I'm sorry and disapointed to hear that someone on here thinks the Dog boards are exclusively for current dog owners.
Please realize that was just one silly person's viewpoint!
