    I have learned to open my heart and home to homeless animals who need a temporary foster home.... and I have learned I'm not the only one who fails at fostering.

    I, too, learned about Frito feet I also learned about backyard breeders and puppy mills. I got my first cat from a pet store. Loved him dearly but knowing what I know now, I'd have never have bought him. It's so much better to rescue!
    I've learned how compassionate PT people can be and what a great family we all are. When one hurts, we all hurt. It's so good to have a place like this that's always home, even when you're away from home.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I have learned about cerebral hypoplasia, never knew about before, and did not know it can be caused by the mother cat being sick while pregnant.

    Wow, I have learned so many things here on PT.

    I have learned that Pit Bulls are not the vicious dogs people say they are and about BYBs.

    I've learned that young people are more confident, articulate, and a lot smarter than I was at their age.

    I have learned so much from so many terrific people on PT. Health and behaviour issues (people and animals); different places and different cultures; humour and empathy; love and respect for others; and of course, the many little furry (or not) / feathered friends that grace our lives, all of them special and unique in their own individual ways.

    Most significantly I learned that a cat makes his/her own choice and to respect that choice is to welcome a great gift. Eve chose to come to us and although we tried many times to return her to her previous home, she persisted. We learned to listen to her choice and are now blessed to have her in our lives. She has brought so much joy and we are grateful for a good lesson learned.

    I have also learned that you can have really big dogs living in the same household with really little dogs. Bella is 50 lbs. and Ripley is 15 lbs. but there are some really big size differences here on PT. Before seeing WELOVESPUPPIES' Champ and Duke with Chopper, and Kimlovescats' Bear with Betina, and Anna's Bon with Simba, and some of the other big/little combinations on here I would have thought the sizes might be too extreme. (Do I dare think about having a chi some day? )

    This pretty much summed up what I learned. I also learned pitties aren't "vicious".

    All the cute behavior, things in the house broken, cat behavior is shared by every cat owner on POTD.....But, The Edster is still a unique dude.

    I've also learned that not all cats like CLAM juice!

    Or beer. Both of ours love it. Isis will try to stick her head down a longneck.

    Don't ever let 'em define

    Love yourself, give them Hell.
