Have any of you ever experienced what I'm going through -- as you can see -I have made about 2500 posts ---- so, I've been an active member and have been around for a while.

My problem is that anymore when I get on YT - it just seems like the same old topics are being discussed over and over and over again. I have read thousands of posts on potty training, crate training, puppy pad training, eating poop, puppymills, how much is my puppy going to weigh? - how often do you bathe your pup? - my groomer butchered my dog! - should I get another dog - etc. etc. etc. etc.

I have actually reached the point that I don't want to answer a lot of posts because I have answered the same ones dozens of times and a lot of the rest of you have also.

Sometimes I wonder - instead of asking the same old questions over and over again - why people don't just run a search. There is so much good information already here - tons of it.... and, believe me, my heart was much more into answering some of these questions the first many times I did it. Now - I'm beginning to think - I just don't want to go through all that again!....so, I'm becoming more and more reluctant to post answers to things. (I don't know about the rest of you - but I have always taken time and given a lot of consideration to whatever I have posted....and have spent a lot of time on some things that I have replied to.)

Is it just me - am I the only (old timer) that is beginning to feel "burnt out?"

If you're new to YT -- you probably only share the enthusiasm that I had for a long time. So, I am really addressing those of you who have been here a long time and have posted "thousands" of posts.

Thanks - Carol Jean
