Luvmyjrt -- your photo file size has to be less than 60K -- which is pretty small. Take your original photo and make it smaller (450 x 300 or so is a good size for the net) and make sure the quality is low enough that your file size is less than 60K before you try to post it. Do you know how to do that?

And thanks for the compliment :-) How cute is Maggie -- and Shannon too. Finnegan won't go near the water. We take him to the beach and he walks in up to his chest and then backs out.

maggie lives to swim laps. We have a pond at our cabin and she lives in the water. Slapping at it and barking, slapping and barking. At our friends pool where the above photo was taken, she does laps, literally. Swims down the pool, turns around, kicks off the wall, and swims back. She's a water baby like her mom.

How do I change the sizes in Paint? I have so many great photos of the girls I'd love to share!

Luvmyjrt: You can't really change the size in Paint. You will need to download another image editor to do that. I recommend Irfanview avaiable from www.irfanview.com This free program will let you change sizes individually or in batches as well as many other options, screen captures - manual or automatic, etc.

Note: The plugins available are not necessary. The main program has most of the features you will need to resize most images. You can always go back and download the plugins later if you feel you need them.

Hope this helps.

Luvmyjrt, that was a photo worth waiting for. Keeping my fingers crossed it makes the daily updates.

I use Paint to resize my images all the time. You open the jpeg, click on "stretch and skew" and change the horizontal and vertical dimensions evenly. Takes about 15 seconds :-)

Great!!! Just make sure you change both the horizontal and the vertical evenly (i.e. put in the same numbers) so that the dimensions match and don't distort the image.

Whoohoo, go Josh! Newfie's rock!!!

That man Stump is really going strong. He's been in every show possible this year. His handler, Scott, is one of the best in the Spaniel business. The funny thing about the dog and owner...neither belong to the Sussex Spaniel Club of America!! lol GO STUMP!

Dahli -- it was on USA Network in the U.S. and on OLN on my cable system here in Vancouver. It aired the same day as the competition occurred, though, Monday and Tuesday -- so I'm not sure if either will be re-running it. You might want to check the USA website...

Re: dog allergies & hot spots. We had 2 Shih Tzus when I was in High School. One started having hot spots and the vet couldn't figure out why. Finally he said it's just allergies and there's nothing we can do for her. We started putting baby clothes on her so she wouldn't lick off the medicine. Her spots disappeared. So we took off the clothes, they came back. This went on for a long time until we finally decided DUH keep clothes on her. WE'd go to garage sales to find clothes for her, and almost always they'd ask how old our baby was. Most got a chuckle out of us saying a 13lb ShihTzu. We'd have to modify the bottoms by cutting a hole for her tail and we'd cut the legs so they weren't too long and put very loose elastic to keep them close to her legs. Don't know why it worked, vet doesn't know why it worked, but it did. We also had her sister, who was the runt of the litter, and she had absolutely no skin problems.

Thanks, Serate and everyone else who's posted regarding my question about hot spots and skin allergies. We're still not sure what to do to stop them.

And Serate -- my dog refuses to move if we so much as put a coat on him (which we've tried to do in the past on snowy or cold, rainy days) -- he acts as though he's paralyzed! :-) I don't think clothes would work somehow with my little maniac... :-)

Yankee, that is so funny to read, because my Herc did the same thing--act paralyzed as if he couldn't walk once the coat was on. However, we carried him out on the patio dressed in his coat--and soon his nose would take his mind off the coat. Then he'd walk without thinking about it. To this day, I have to grab him to put his coat on, but as soon as the leash goes on, he's fine. I think it's all a matter of adjustment. Your boo boo CAN get used to anything, if need be!!

He did the same thing with boots, too. It finally got to the point where he couldn't walk without them here. Same patio deal. He just took off trotting one day, after sniffing the cool air--and never looked back (on his leash, of course). His nose caught the scent of something interesting and he just forgot his misgivings.)

Aw shucks Yankee - thanks anyway I do get OLN here but never thought to check that. phooey....

I have the same problem with my whippers, they act paralyzed when I put a coat on them but then they ARE paralyzed when they go out without them in the cold we've had this winter.. what a couple of goofballs.

We had to take our dog to Animal Services yesterday. We adopted a dog - when he was a pup he was bitten by mom and shoved aside by his sibs (litter of 13). DD couldn't just see this owner let him die, so she took him to a vet because the bite got infected - she had to nurse the infection & feed him every 2 hours (well, we did) and we just loved this dog to pieces. Evidently because of his first couple of weeks, he was impossible re his food bowl, and very jealous of the dog we already had. He went thru obedience training, neutering, microchipping, etc. He is now 15 mos old, but bit my daughter night before last (teeth bared & ugly) - the one who loves him the most. We are heartbroken but we have tried everything to get him past this. We have children of various ages who visit so we just can't take a chance.

He is in quarantine for 10 days - and I don't think they will be able to find a new home for him. We went to the Humane Society last night but the pickings were slim. Most were marked as "destructive". The ones I wanted were already chosen.

Our other dog has his annual check-up Saturday, so we will ask the vet to let us know of any adoptable dogs. I feel so bad to think of him in a cold cage and I hope someone will be successful where we weren't.

DD is OK. Argus bit her on the forearm when she went to pet the other dog (Angus). Argus had been agressive re his food bowl, but had never threatened her about anything else, so we thought we were erasing his bad memories.

Amchess, I am so sorry to here about Argus and your DD. It can be a very scary moment for everyone. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a good ending!

Ms. Owl?? I haven't heard how Toby is doing? I sent you an email the other day. I hoping no news is 'good' news!
