I always use Irfanview to edit my pics for posting. Its a free program and really easy to use. I have been using various versions of it for years! Here's a cute list I found today: Things That Dogs Have to Remember 1. The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff. 2. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table. 3. I will not roll my toys behind the fridge. 4. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house. 5. I will not eat the cats’ food, before or after they eat it. 6. I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to throw up. 7. I will not throw up in the car. 8. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. 9. I will not lick my parents’ face after eating animal poop. 10. I will not eat any more socks and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing. 11. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar. 12. I will not wake Mommy up by sticking my cold, wet nose up her bottom end. 13. I will not chew my parents’ toothbrush and not tell them. 14. I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones. 15. When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside. 16. We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on TV. 17. I will not steal my Mom’s underwear and dance all over the back yard with it. 18. The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom & Dad’s laps. 19. My head does not belong in the refrigerator. 20. I will not bite the officer’s hand when he reaches in for Mom’s driver’s license and car registration.} And I would add "The cat's litter box is NOT a snack bar".

I don't usually post here, but when I read this email, I thought of all of you that do: FAITHFUL FRIENDS Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses. One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone, barking, whining, and generally pestering Brownie's human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed by the furious, adamant little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting back and forth to a nearby empty lot, as if to say, “Follow me! It's urgent!” Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot, as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a fence, past clumps of trees, to a desolate spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive -- one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leg-hold trap. Horrified, Ted wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable ... Spotty had done more than simply lead Brownie's human to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps, which were identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single minded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort! Spotty had stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to keep his spirits up. Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends frolicking and chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses. Author Unknown

Lakecat, this is the section that I used for help in posting pics. ---------------------------------- Originall posted by Tess on Saturday, June 15, 2002 - 03:17 pm Lesson 3: Posting images: The current size limit for posting images is 40k. This capability will likely be turned off during BB to due to the sheer number of posts on the board, but most of the rest of the year we do have the capability and space to accomodate gifs and jpegs. Your image must be in one of those 2 formats already downloaded on your hard drive before you try to post it on the board. The code for posting an image, whether it's an animated clipart or photograph is: For instance if you want to post a picture of welcome butterfly and you have that on your hard drive you type: and then hit preview\post. You will be brought to a screen that will give you a preview of your post with a box that looks like this: . Don't panic! Hit the button that says "Post this message." That will bring you to the next screen titled "Image/attachment Upload Form." You will see a message that says: Provide file for 'whatever title you gave to your image'. In the above example, it would say, "Provide image for butterfly". Under that will be a blank box. Next to the blank box is a button which says browse. Hit the browse button and select your image from your hard drive. Then hit the button under the box which says Upload and voila! You will then have successfully posted an image. ------------------------------------ But somehow I used Irfanview also, I think it was to resize my pics in my computer before uploading them to post here in tvch. (It's been about a year and my memory is fuzzy on this.)

FYI, if you have WinXP, you can right-click a .jpg image and choose Resize from the shortcut menu. Makes it a lot easier (and you can see the size before you save/resave the pic).

Oh yeah, the reason I came here... check out Worldwide Fido. This is YouTube for your dogs, and it's hilarious! Be sure to check out Duncan, who gets his person water from the fridge. And don't forget to throw a bone to your faves!

I don't know why, Costa, but that link isn't working for me...but if I type in the address it opens just fine. I'm going to post the link, too and see if that works (since the Pet Food Recall, I've become the queen of link posting!). Worldwide Fido

What beautiful granddogs. I especially love the first picture where they are all looking out the window. Fun title would be "Checking Out the Neighborhood Talent" or "Waiting For The Mailman".

Love the photos Urgrace!! I'll be back to share some of mine later today. Today is their 2nd birthday. Their cake is in the oven. We're having cake for dessert tonight. Here's the bad thing, the batter tastes way too good! LOL I used the recipe that Vee posted up a bit.
