I am not sure if I will be able to express in writing how I mean this in my heart, but I am going to try.

Since 9/11 we have learned something and we keep learning more each day. I personally, don't like what I am learning, but it sits there and cannot be ignored. There are people who truly hate us - hate what we believe and want to destroy it.

PetTalkers are a unique and wonderful group of people. We share many things - but the most important thing we share is a passion.
That passion is our animals and how much we have learned from them. They keep giving to us each and every day.

There are those who couldn't begin to understand this passion and won't even try or probably don't know how.

Casper and Kitty - what a joy to see your kitties and each picture tells us how much you love them, and they love you in return.

Seeing Niina is hurtful - because you can understand just by one look what a wonderful dog you had and how painful it must have been to lose her.

But that is what we all share - a great compassion and understanding.

Casper and Kitty - go ahead and post wherever you want - I will follow you around to read what you have to share.

Let us hope that your email was just an isolated incident - posted by some ignorant kids having what they thought was fun.

I agree, that if anyone else gets a disturbing email, we should pass this on to Karen or Paul. Have you ever seen Karen in action? I have - and you don't want to mess with her "velvet" keys.

And we are grateful that Paul and Karen keep this site perfect for all of us - where we can have fun - share our stories and extend ourselves to each other.

Casper and Kitty - we love you and it would be a sad day if you stopped posting wherever you want.

Love from the passionate human responsible for Rascal.
