    What have you learned?

    Just a thread I thought might be fun!

    What have you learned from being part of Pet Talk? How about one item per post, and we can all chime in as we think of another!

    I have learned ... that dogs can have Frito feet!


    add yours!

    I've learned that I really am loved and there are some people who sincerely care about me.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I've got to comment on this, while snuggling with Rosie earlier in bed, I just kissed her paws, then I was thinking how much they smelled like fritos!

    Anyways....

    What have I learned? Everyone is different and we all have our own opinions about every single thing you could ever list.
    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...

    I am embarrassed to say that I have learned what wonderful friends shelter pups make. Before joining PT in 2000 and adopting Ripley in 2003 all of my dogs had come from breeders. Any future dogs will come from shelters or foster homes.

    I've learned that there are so many... too many shelter dogs/cats.
    I love my puppers so much that words can't describe what I feel but I have to say that my next dogs will be shelter or rescue dogs (like Pam).

    I know I learned quite a bit but to single out just one thing... I must admit, I'm drawing a blank.

    However, anytime something questionable comes up in our household, Andy's first response is ALWAYS "Ask Pet Talk."

    I've learned that dogs are not "just dogs". They are part of the family and need to be treated as such.

    Another thing:

    I have learned that there are entire transport networks set up and that regularly function to move dogs in need of homes from one part of the country to another!

    I didn't know that before Pet Talk!

    Good thread!

    I have learned soooo many wonderful things from being a part of PT.
    I have learned to love Pit Bulls.

    I have learned about the shelter dogs too. I knew about shelters before but didn't realize how important it is to rescue pups from there. My first 2 dogs (Sadie and Maggie) are pet store purchases (I know better now) but I love them dearly. Grant is from the shelter and he almost didn't stay here. I know Karen said one but I have also learned how different breeds need different things and not every single breed will be best for me.

    I've learned that allergic reactions to food can take up to 3 months to clear up in cats, so it pays to be patient!

    I've learned that PT People both lean on and help each other through just about anything. And they make darn sure you are accountable when you have something to complain about!
