.....my 3 am, spelling typo filled post about my DOG???!?!?!.....

And all this time I've been trying SOOOOO hard to sound wise and smart......

go figure......

just teasing ya Pep.......

I do have another cute story to share....

A couple of yearez ago, I was having a Pampered Chec party. It was a couple days after Halloween. The consultant came early to do her set up. She went to put something in the microwave and I heard her laugh. I asked her what was so funny.

She said she found the bowl of Halloween candy in the microwave and she thought that it wasn't that great of a hiding place. Surely the kids would find it there.

Well, it was MY turn to laugh. I told I wasn't hiding it from the kids......we were hiding it from the DOG!!!!!......

You just can't leave food ANYWHERE with a dog Aggie's size!!!!'

I love this guys YouTube videos.

Susie, I love your little dog! what a cutie! I have 2 little toy minature schnauzers that I just adore; Molly and Greta. My son, a lab owner, calls them "squirrels" and said he would rather go buy me tampons than be seen with my "chick dogs!" [I had him take his sisters to the groomers once and he said it was humiliating ]

Here are my little dogs in their Christmas collars helping my son's fiance open her gifts:

Mel, awwww, what a great pic! Your girls are gorgeous...and I LOVE their names

I had to laugh about your son. My H who wasn't thrilled about little doggies (previous shepherd lover/owner) is crazy about our Hav, carries him around and cuddles him all the time. I should post one of those pics. It's really cute.

Zoe

how do I put in the photos? HELP!!!

I will share.

I'm pretty sure the photos have to be online somewhere, so your own website, or a photo hosting site like
Flikr

or
Photobucket

The images you have on those sites will have a permanent address you'll need.

Then in the full reply screen use the image icon to put the picture in or type out the code
[ img ]Address of your image here[ /img ] (remove the spaces from between the brackets ([])

Hope that was clear as mud.

hmmm no workie - I usually use photobucket not flicker but what I think is that this link is to the PAGE with your dog's pic on it (very cute btw), not a link to the actual PICTURE itself, which is what you need. In flikr is there a link somewhere called 'direct link' or something similar?

Lemme go make a flikr acct and test...

-----------
K - right click on the picture you want and select 'Copy Image URL'. The address is then put in your clipboard. Come back here and paste it between the [img ] boxes.


Testing, testing

thanks!

Cinder I edited my post and got it working - lookie ^

That is Zoe, my wunder hunde, and here is her story.

My daughter had wanted a dog for YEARS and my son had reached the age where he was dog agreeable. We had 2 cats - both with short tails). One night, while they were at their dad's, I realized it was time for dog shopping. We were in process of adopting at our local Humane Society shelter but someone beat us to her. The shelter employees literally took the dog out of the hands of my 14 year old daughter who cried.

So, I looked online at rescue groups in our area on www.petfinders.com and found a dog whose story touched me....she and 7 other puppies had been rescued from a 12x12 pen and had no human contact unless someone came out to feet them. She was a 10 month old blue heeler/terrier mix: crate trained, almost house-trained, spayed, and delayed but progressing in social skills. She was gentle, loving, and submissive.

We got the required supplies, compiled a list of possible names, and went to meet her. Just before the foster parents got her out of their van, I told one of my children that it would be a sign that she was ours if she had a short tail. Sure enough, she has only a button of a tail. She and the children took to each other so we headed home with her.

That day, she started responding to the name "Zoe" which means 'life'. And she seemed to prefer my daughter.

Fast forward about 9 days....daughter's guidance counselor from school calls just as we are getting ready to leave for work/school. My daughter had basically left a suicide note on her locker and it had been found. Within 12 hours, she was in an adolescent psychiatric hospital being treated for depression.

I took her school books to her because they have a certified school program there. She couldn't have family pictures there but I managed to get a photo of the dog tucked into one of the books. 8 days later, she was better and came home after disclosing that my only nephew had been sexually abusing her for over 18 months.

The picture of the dog had helped her find the courage to speak the words she feared. Zoe (Life) helped my daughter regain her life. She is not only part blue heeler but she is totally 'blues healer'.

(My daughter is doing well. You would not know what we've been through unless you heard the story. She is in college and still calls the dog her 'baby'. But the dog continues her happiness unabated even though only son and I are at home.)

Pariah, I thought of you the other day. I was in target and saw this toddler in the shopping cart seat. He had very fine blond hair. He looked like he had never had a hair cut. The stuff around the sides and the back was laying downlike normal. But every hair on the top of his head was sticking straight up and you could tell there was no product on it to get it to do that. He looked, to me, like a little cockatoo with his blonde comb sticking straight up.
