Pretty sure I know the poster of whom you speak. I also didn't respond, just wondered when someone else would start questioning. "What are we polling now?" is that the one?

Yes I love everyone's furbaby pics, but most of all I love hearing the love that the pet owners have for their babies. 7&1/2 years ago before Lil I would have not felt very impressed, but after Lil came into my life I understood how very much a pet can be loved. I seriously tear up thinking what I've missed all my life. Keep the pet photos and love alive in the KT.

The regulars here posting our pet pictures over the years from time to time is completely different than the actions that have been occurring in this situation. We have routinely started a show your pets thread that is done on various forums that's normal. This is not that! I never saw an introduction here was there one? If it's just a young person that's fine we have had that happen before my concern is that it's something else.

Wow, I guess I missed all this. Or maybe I did but didn't respond because the questions almost seemed too personal & I didn't recognize them. Was that the one?

and poof,they are totally gone evidently.......

Ravencajun,

What, exactly, is your "something else" concern?

Sheeee's baaaaack!

There's no rules regarding sharing pictures. A person enjoys expressing opinions without care or concern for others.

Ignore and post your pictures as many times as you like. It's your KT as well.

Who's back?

I am so confused.....

Trust me;it is not ME! I haven't posted much of anything lately. I've had some health problems that have left me exhausted. I'm glad to see bengardening has brought this up for discussion. One of my problems now is my memory. I have forgotten how to post a photo. Would someone please post the directions for me? It was so easy when we were on GW. I still miss Spike! Thank you and I hope I can get back to task.

There are no rules regarding sharing pictures, of course.

But to me, someone repeatedly posting the same picture, no matter what the topic or in the daily picture displays, is not different from someone who always says the same thing in a group conversation, no matter what the topic of the conversation is. It's like "Okay, we get it". Or for an image, "Okay, we've seen that".

Elmer I think I've only postedthis pic 3 times..4 now.

Well, if we are posting fur babies....

The above picture is my niece's shelter pup, Mop. He's a little cutie!!

OH MY that puppy could be on here a hundred times, talk about cuteness overload! :)

My adorable baby is just over 7 years old in that photo.

Sleeperblues...Mop is a sweety.

Well this thread has gone to the dogs....LOL! May as well add a picture of Bingo when she was a puppy.

Precious! I hope everyone posts their furbabies, their favorite of whatever, and feel free to do exactly what they want. Everyone has the option to just scroll on by...

Gunner, my son's white lab.

So cute!

Love of my life. RIP Baby

Chloe sorry I just saw your question. My thought was possibly a young person visiting a grandmother or family member using a computer that has their log in here open. And joining in. I don't think it is anything nefarious. Just a curiosity. But that is just a guess of course. Unlike some people, I have been wrong a time or two in my life. LOL

Good grief....some of you people are so strangely judgemental and critical.

In my parent's old neighborhood there is a residence for 'special' young adults. I frequently interact with them and see a similarity. That could be the case here. Just saying.

is not different from someone who always says the same thing in a group conversation

My Dad always had his little stories he told during gatherings, even though we'd heard them a hundred times, we listened and laughed at the right time. I'd give anything to spend an evening with him and listen to it all again.

Elmer, someone above said it..the KT is for everyone, to speak and read...everyone has a choice to speak and a choice to read. You don't have to read the same old same old that's your choice. I would think at your age you would know when to pick your battles. Besides Elmer, I've read much repetition in your posts. Now be nice...you know you love all the puppy and kitty photos, if not, well, your out-numbered.

Glenda, is Gunner missing an eye or is it just the way his face is wrinkled up in that photo? It reminded me of one of our dogs from long ago who lost an eye to glaucoma.

Hmmmm.....now it seems that today's post/question has disappeared, too. I hope all is ok there.

Mama, I've commented on your picture of Lil before, she is so adorable. I love that fat little tummy! Yes, Mop is a great little dog. He was 3 when Sam got him and he has been the best doggie for her. He has really helped her grow up. He's such a cool little dog that whenever she needs a dog sitter, people fight to watch him! We love him so much

mamapinky, my comment was about those who repeatedly post the same pictures for no matter what the topic.

I do love some animals but dislike the "fur baby" phrase. It seems to be popular among people who treat their animals as surrogate children, and some others. To me it's disrespectful. Maybe it's another regional thing, I rarely hear it in my neck of the woods and I'm glad about that.

Medium to larger dogs are my preference, not the behemoth ones or the very small ones. Cats may be an acquired taste I never acquired.

People are free to read or not read, say or not say, as they wish, in an open forum. It isn't a coffee klatch where it's expected that either you agree or remain silent.

Disrespectful? Bwahahaha! Of whom, oh sir snidely.....the dog?? You have outdone yourself with that one, though I'm sure that no one is surprised by your officious comments.

LOL

"Of whom, oh sir snidely.....the dog??"

It's Elmer now but yes - the animals so described. I hope you get it that family pets and other animals can be treated and/or referred to respectfully and disrespectfully, in many different ways.

I agree with that statement (animals deserve respect) but not as you mean it! Pets respond to affectionate behaviors such as tummy tickling, kissing, sweet talking, lap sitting, and poetry reciting.

My cat Paco, referred to as Mr. Man, kitty dog, sweet pea, bad boy, good boy, pretty boy, snuggle butt and other highly 'disrespectful' names, has been scarred for life. He purrs when he looks at me from across the room! Poor fur baby.

So, I still want to know who "she" is - in the "she's baaaaack" comment above.

Oh rhizo! Such furbaby abuse! Is she standing there begging for more? Lol I know my little precious one would be. Love them so much it hurts, holds so true. Any time she is not feeling well it hurts me because I can't fix it immediately. Exactly like if I had a child which I don't. Same love to give from my heart. I wouldn't want to have it any other way. What does size have to do with the love we have for them. If I had a child I would love them all the same regardless of size. The size of the pet I am fortunate to have makes no difference to the amount of love I have for it. Small, medium, extra large, or any thing in between. Love, if genuine, has no size discrimination no matter if animals or humans, not in my world at least.

Sometimes I worry that I am reposting a picture because I can't remember which I have previously shared. It's hard to remember when you have been sharing for a long time.

imstillchloecat, a couple of days ago there were multiple posts from someone who has been on the forum for years but was asking questions about how to do things, and also posting questions about favorites, etc.

They just weren't the norm and there were several of them. That's what this thread is/was about.

Suzieque - I know that. I saw all the threads. But SOMEONE posted "She's BAAAAAACK" like we're all supposed to know who "she" is, and insinuating that the person posting all the weird questions was the "she" that was supposedly "baaaack." So who is this "she" and what is her screen name?

They just weren't the norm

With all due respect to each and every one of you- of us, there is no real norm here. We have people from all different walks of life, political leanings, talents, affluence, fashion tastes tastes in homes and home decorations. What we do have in common is that we by and large enjoy each other's company and enjoy participating here.

There are times few and far between when a person's post is so nasty or demeaning that there are protests, but I have not seen any post like that very recently.

Hi, Lucille. Ok, no "norm" here; not sure I agree but of course we're all different and our posts/viewpoints are different. That doesn't mean that some posts are not "not the norm". I'm guessing that you didn't see the posts, but of course I could be wrong. I was just trying to explain to chloecat - I wasn't finding fault. But yes, there ARE posts that are very different. And, in my opinion, these were, although not nasty or demeaning.

imstillchloecat, I'm not comfortable posting the name. But if the posts start again, I think you'll notice. There was one yesterday which, in itself, didn't raise eyebrows. It's gone now (what's up with that?). It was only when there were several, one after the other, that it seemed "different".

Chloe they meant the same person was back because there were more new posts after the others had been removed. No one other than the original person.

I still think it's a young person visiting and using the computer of someone that had an open page to here. Seems harmless enough.

Oh my, count me in as yet another who "disrespects" her furkids and grandfurkid by calling them sweet, affectionate names. I often use those same names for DH :)

I am sure I've posted this before....but, this is Piggy Sue when she was a baby, and the dog is Zelda. You might think Zelda liked Piggy Sue, but she didn't. She just stayed close to her because I guess she went by the old saying....Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I love that picture, Marilyn. They both look determined!

Oh, she was a cutie even tiny. This is the first time I've seen a picture of her when she was a little gal.

This is a wacky thread!!! I like it. Lots of chatter about nothing really important, then pictures of dogs, a picture of a pig, very funny. I hold you all in great affection. Really.

PS I never introduced myself, just joined in.

I never introduce myself at forums either, I'm probably the MOST boring person you've ever met. HAHA! I LOVE dogs so much. Today we went to the flea market and they allow people to bring their dogs to this one(some do not allow dogs). Well there were so many dogs because it wasn't hot out, just nice and warm. There were dogs of every size and age out there. I instantly turn into a 5 year old girl when I see a "PUPPY" of any age, size or breed! In my head I'm screaming "AWWWW...look at the cute PUPPY!!!!" I just LOVE dogs, I always have been crazy about them.

I found another Val butt picture. This one made Feb. 20.

marilyn_c, is Val ignoring you??? LOL!
