Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
This is why I love dogs

Absolutely not all angels have wings some have fur and waggy tails
Absolutely right.
When i was at a low point in my life about 15 years ago i am so grateful i had my beautiful Schnauzer to get me out of bed in the morning.
Dogs are so sensitive. I went through a bad patch some years back. One day I was really down. My golden retriever gave me space and then decided it was time I snapped out of it. He came expectantly with his ragger and said wanna play? I did not respond so he put on his cutest look, made me laugh and broke the spell. All my dogs were wonderful blessings.
The more and more clients that we pet sit for, the more engaged I am with animals. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to have so many different breeds, and so much love from these pets. They truly are a gift from God I have such a wonderful job I’m so blessed.
I have posted this before, but this picture makes me want to post it again, regarding the creation of the world. According to the Cherokee, when the Great Spirit made all living things, he sought to place them upon a giant tapestry he spread over the void. Once all living things were there, the humans began to separate from the rest of the animals as if to create a hierarchy of nature, so the Great Spirit took his finger and drew a line down the middle of the tapestry. A crack began to form and grow wider and wider as if to become a chasm. At the point just before the chasm became too wide to cross, Dog jumped over and stood by Man.
Dogs rule.
