I have and love cats and dogs, and now a snake.. and absolutely ADORE some special bunnies and birds I've "met" here. I don't take sides. I also visit General and the DogHouse and every other thread I have time for. I usually go to "Today's Topics" to see what's going on. I just go on from there. I happen to love a monkey named Mario and also a frog named Sipowitz. Years ago there was a buffalo as "PetoftheDay" that made me smile for weeks. That duck that would sneak up onto "Grandma's" kitchen counter too! Sides? Who has time or energy or even a desire to TAKE SIDES when it comes to our beloved pets? That's why Karen and Paul named this PET OF THE DAY. There are plenty of special WEB sites that specialize in a particular breed or species. This site encompasses them all, AND THAT'S THE POINT
