Pets and Social Networking

Pet owners are the nicest people I know. They're happier and less stressed than people who don't own pets and they are very friendly and generous. So it's natural that they would want to connect and share with others online.

I got my start sharing about my pets about 2 years back through the online photo sharing site , Flickr. I had posted pet pics online long before that, but Flckr provided a community around the photos and I added hundreds of friends to my network, many of whom would check every day for new photos of my cats!

Now, if you search the web for Pet Social Networks and a growing number of sites are popping up, from Fuzzster, MyCatSpace and MyDogSpace, the offshoots of familiar and popular networking sites, to sites that help you meet pet owners in your neighborhood, like Pawspot.

Something all of these sites have in common is that they let you post photos and descriptions of your pets, the basics of what you can do in Flickr. What's even better, they are FREE!

Check them out today and sign up for a couple. You can find links to the sites mentioned above and a few more here.

Welcome

Welcome to the ThrivePets Blog, the blog for the ThrivePets.com online store !

This store and blog were inspired by a lifelong love of animals and a desire to see them live long happy lives.

Since I was born I have always had pets. We had a cat named Puff when I came into this world and we have had many cats, dogs, fish, ducks, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, mice, lizards, and pet insects since.

Animals can teach us so much about nature, the world and ourselves. They give us unconditional love and learn to get along with different species. They live simply, without the need for many possessions and they live happily most of the time. Give them a little love and they respond with much more love in return. Even without words we can gain a deep understanding of our pets and they of us.

Give the very best to your pets whenever you can.
