I love the photos of both doggies! How cool are they!?!?!?!

I've gotta find some software to shrink my photos down. Right now Bogie is too big to post on TVCH.

I've got a magnet on my fridge that I picked up while in a tacky souvenier shop in Florida. It is a sunset shot of the back of a seated woman and her dog on the beach and the caption reads "The more people I meet, the more I like my dog." hehehehehe

Weenerlobo, if you want, you can email me a Bogie pic and I will try to shrink it for you and send it back for you to post. I have done this once before, so I should be able to figure out how to do it again....I hope!
Email is in my profile.

aww, i just love everyone's doggie pics, ddr, your son is a cutie too.

rissa, i am a proponent(sp) of crate training.

also my angel lays on the bed. he only lays on the top of my head(on the pillow) when he is trying to get away from the cat but he doesn't stay long, about a couple of minutes, then he will get down on the floor and back under the bed. he does like to lick dh's pillow though.

Here is a link to the program I use for resizing pictures.

Once you download, open your picture in the viewer. Click on IMAGE in the menu at the top. Then click on RESIZE. It gives you several options as to what size you desire.

Irfanview

It also allows you to open one type of file and save as another. This comes in handy when converting .jpg to .bmp, for instance.

Here are two photos of my son:

Bogie

Bogie feet

(This one just cracks me up and, yes, I had to lay flat on the floor and click as Bogie walked over to see what the heck I was doing)

Bogie is a doll. If y'all ever meet him, you will see how much of a lover he is too. He loves everybody. I've gotta scan this other photo that I've got in my purse. It's an action shot and one where he actually looks HAPPY!!!!!

Square, I think that there's a dog show on Saturday nite. I just remember the tv commercial saying "...the night before the Superbowl..." I think it's a new dog show? I love watching those; I'd like to hug and cuddle all of 'em.

Oh dang, Juju. I hate to blow off such a wonderful compliment as that, especially with no tissue in hand, but I didn't write these.

Maybe I will write some just for you. Be a good dawg.

That's her favorite spot- right next to the woodburner. Sometimes her fur gets so warm you would think it hurts but she just stays there and I lay partway on her like a big friendly pillow. She eats those sheweez in about a minute.

Weenerlobo -- I LOOOVE your dog. I grew up with basset hounds. In my life, my family had seven bassets, and I had one as an "adult." Now, I have a Jack Russell -- very different from a basset.

Some things I miss about having a basset hound: the deep snugglies that a basset gives you; the wrinkles; the soulful look of their eyes; the smell of their ears (I know, some people think it's gross, but I love it!); the big paws; the combination of being clumsy and sometimes surprisingly agile and graceful all at once (kind of like me -- the clumsy part, I mean!); the bark; the sweetness of their disposition.

Some things I don't miss: the shedding; the drool (I used to carry paper towels with me on walks with my dog -- he unfortunately had the habit of shaking his head when meeting new people); the stubborness; the overall 'hound dog' smell; and the wandering nose.

Actually, on second thought, those things I don't miss didn't really bother me (except maybe the shedding!!).

Your dog is really beautiful; I wish I knew how to post a photo of my last, sweet basset boy.

My JRT is, thankfully, very snuggly and sweet -- and one of his best play buddies in the neighborhood is a 10-year-old basset who doesn't realize she's 10!

Yankee, thank you so much and your post really hit home. Everything you said about Bassets is exactly what I would say about Bogie (except we differ on that ear smell thing). He's just turned 9, but when we're going for a walk, you'd think he was 1, the way he carries on. Nothing makes him happier than being out and about to meet new people and fur friends and read any new "pee-mail" (much like email from what I understand) that he needs to catch up on. I told him that his photos are on the Internet now and he didn't seem to have a problem with it. LOL.

Where are you in Canada? The reason I ask is that every May the Michigan Basset Rescue group is in a parade that brings Bassets from all over the country. I think last year we had close to 800 Bassets in the parade. Them doggies are usually the most popular part of that parade. A few years ago Life mag. did a story on it and I think Animal Planet's Breed All About It includes it in their show as well. In any event, if you're within driving distance, you'd probably get a huge kick out of it. Bogie's been in the parade just about every year of his life; he supports his brethren. The parade route is a pledge walk for each Basset that's in it, in order to raise $$ for the Rescue. Hugely successful.

That seems like quite a switch! From Basset to Jack Russell! I hope you can post a picture of him soon.

Kaili, Hannah is just gorgeous. I love that picture.
