I don't think PT is going downhill. We are many people here and so not everyone is everyone's closest friend. I have noticed that most people I became closer to were my age but I do not know the age of all my special friends.

As in any bigger group (at the office, at the university) you'll meet people whom you like more and others which you don't meet so often.
But if I compare to the office e.g. I find that with any person here I have one thing in common: we love our pets and the pets of all the others. And this leads us to helping each other: Look at Bassett - we all can be proud of that.

And now Jessica: I think it is incredible how much compassion and help started from that. It showed how many compassionate and caring persons can be found here. It was a bad cause -as it was a hoax- but what came out of it was good!!! Compassion is never wasted.

I had dreamed that after a certain time, even Jessica could have been a member of this forum again. I am still convinced that she was a mixed-up teenager who was scared after she saw what she did to us.

But we who stay here should look at the great things we have achieved together -like the frito fun or Bassett's surgery- and ignore the rest.

I am glad that I am not interested in ALL the threads -my day would need 48 hours then.
