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.

Well, isn't it thanks to us, Newbies, that you kept answering those same'ol questions over and over again, and racked up thousands of points?
. I haven't been on here long but read a lot of old posts and tried to run search whenever as I could. And in those about 2 months that I've on, now I come across a question I haven't seen discussed maybe once a day. Can't even relate to you, who've been on YT for years. It's true, as long as puppies are concerned there are not going to be new topics... It's about potty, food and training. New members may state questions in a new way, because every dog is different, but that's also great about this site.... So for example I have a chance to get to that magic '1000 posts' as newbies keep posting new questions to their heart content. Just wanted to add a Newbie 5 cent to the discussion (and improve a post count LOL).
