| Same Questions!!!!! Hi, I've been a member here since Dec '06. I love the site and it's full of information. One thought that comes to mind is and probably has been addressed before but, Why are so many threads about the same topic over and over? I know everyone is worried when their fur ones get sick, they are not acting normal, something out of the ordinary is happen or what not. I know I'm guilty of doing that myself couple of times, but every since that time I use the "SEARCH" button and most of my questions are already answered. The search button is a great help and if we start using more often then we can save a lot of server space. I'm not trying to bash on people or start something but if you search before you post, you might find what you looking for. Just a thought for the moderators of this site. Thanks, Alex |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Sometimes it's just faster for someone to fast post and get a response than take the time to dig out one in the search function. You can usually get a answer and it will be very current from someone that just had the same problem and found a solution.

| I'm sure just about every topic has been talked about at least once. So if people don't keep repeating, there wouldn't be anything left to talk about. Just kidding... I agree with Bizzymammabee.

| I kinda love seeing same topics come around. It kinda reminds me about how it was for me before I got Haruka. I had tons of questions.... I don't know how to explain this, but I just love seeing people asking questions so that they can be the best mom/dad they can be! I just love it!!! Sometimes it seems like that they are same questions, but maybe sometimes for some people, they might be slightly different... That is my opinion! Michiko

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I can understand your frustration. However, the Search function is really not that great. I searched today for both "flying w/ 2 yorkies" and "owning 2 yorkies vs. 1" - and came up w/ zero. The search only works well if you can truly find results w/ only one or two words, like "pee pads" or "yorkie size" or "ear mites" etc. JMHO Ann |

| I think, and this is just my opinion, when someone is worried about the "fur babies" it goes beyond just searching for an answer. People that feel fear like this sometimes also want the support of others. To have a person just post, "I don't have any answers for you, but your dog is in my thoughts."...well, maybe a person that is worried wants answers but also that reasurance. As much as we can through a computer, it is nice to comfort that person that is scared/worried. So yes, I see your point, but I think that when a person posts a question about their "fur baby", they want a personal answer. I hope I am making sense. Tammy |

| Personally, I haven't found the search feature to be all that helpful either. As for the same topics being brought up...we have new members all the time and if the topic isn't brought up again it may never get any new input. If you find them annoying why not just pass them over and go on to the next post? |

I myself like to share my own experiences and hear about others. The support is also great. It makes our site more personal and we become friends to turn to for good and bad... The same posts keep this site going...as do the new ones!!!
