I just love being able to "be around" people who love their pets as much as I do mine. I feel as if I am part of a community here, and I feel very comfortable saying what is on my mind. I feel that everyone here shares my love and respect for animals and nature in general. That's a good feeling.

When I lost my Charlie back in July, it was the support and understanding of my friends here that really helped me through it all. I will never forget that.

The people here are kind and supportive and always willing to give advice, share their own experiences, or just say a kind word. I think that is priceless.

I feel as if I really have friends here and look forward to meeting everyone.

AmberLee, you're right-many times, I talk about my furbabies and get the . People here don't make me feel that way, and I don't feel that way towards them.

Pet Talk is just a good place to be...thank you Paul and Karen!
