Welcome or welcome back.
Either way consider this your Homeroom, okay.
This is where you can bookmark from, it's the best place to start. It's also a good place to come if you get lost, need to find your "center", get your chi flowing in the right direction, balance the forces of good and evil, or talk to your inner child.

It's also where I tell you that all the information and advice on this site is meant to be encouraging and helpful, but it might not be for everyone. By continuing you agree to make thoughtful and responsible decisions for you and your critters. And because 'the powers that be' say it's a good idea, I have to mention that by continuing you agree not to sue me. Even if you tried I don't have anything to offer but encouraging and helpful advice, dogs that are really annoying, but loved, cats that are just really annoying, a few birds that have never heard the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you", and a couple of turtles that for some reason have taken a vow of silence.

Having said all that, enjoy, explore, and if you have any questions or comments you can contact me by exercising your telepathic abilities. Failing that, you can E-mail me at SmartDog101@prodigy.net
