As an aside, just because there may be people here that can answer doesn't mean it's on topic. For example, we routinely shut down programming questions on the Photography site despite the fact that most of the top users are coders...

@Yvette I'm seeing now that you're leaving the network. I'm very sorry to see you go, and I'd like to thank you for your valued contributions to the sites over the years.

@Yvette - If you see this: I came here sad (about Max.) I am leaving more sad, because you're leaving. I wish we had had more time to get to know each other. You're a remarkable person with a great wealth of knowledge about animals (and probably a lot of other things as well.) Wishing you the very best!

@JohnCavan Mmmhmm, when this site graduates, 'pet of the week' would be an awesome community building feature.

@lila Whenever I need an endorphin rush, I will look at this picture, of Izzy at rest. <3 I love the face, the ears, the paws, the flank. You've captured him well. Thank you!

With each passing car (luckily there are very few), the dog morphs into something like a giraffe - “Is it the car that brings minor 1 home? Perhaps? Meh, no.”

Give users the benefit of the doubt that they were trying to do what they thought was best. If there becomes a pattern then discuss it, if there is a problem cause by the actions get a mod involved to reverse it. Taking someone to task in chat is not productive

Hey, since it's getting full, here's what the CMs asked us (via Mods chat) concerning the graduation of Pets: "I'm reaching out to the Mod teams because we'd love to include some quotes. If any of you would like to share what losing the Beta label means for your community or what the Pets community has built together over the past few years I'd love to hear that."

I like the attitude of this guy. Most people treat pets like babies and specifically see pets as small creatures to infantilize. But some animals just don't want to be treated like a baby, and that's exactly where most behavior problems with barking and biting dogs come from (especially small dogs), cats that always hide away, horses that refuse to carry a rider and a lot of small pets suffering unsuited living conditions.
