I 'm feeling a lot of what you are feeling right now with Ashley. She was doing so well just a few days before, and then we just didn't like the way she was acting. I took her immediately to see her doctor, and he thought it was just a stomach bug. He wasn't concerned, but I should I have stressed more how worried I was. He had just seen her five days before when he told me how amazing Ashley was doing, and he told me to give it a couple of days. She died in my arms at home. She cried just before she lapsed into a coma; I thought she was afraid because she would get scared if she was nauseous or her stomach bothered her. Her cries have since haunted me. She had had bloodwork done not long before, and it came out good. I may be wrong, but because she got lethargic so fast and spit up foam a couple of times, I think it might have been her kidneys failing. I just don't know because that had never been a problem. I keep thinking we might have been able to save her if we knew, but then I think that I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer just because we didn't want to let her go. She was almost seventeen and we were so lucky to have her with us for that many years and to have her be pretty healthy and active. I'm glad it's getting easier for you. I know how difficult it is when you put all of your heart into trying to care for and protect such a precious little one. I hope each day the pain lessens and the happy memories start overtaking the difficult ones. I'd love to see pictures of your baby.
This was copied and pasted from the frequently asked questions on the forum. On your profile page, you click on the albums on the right hand side and go to add an album. It's better to attach pictures rather than linking them. The biggest problem I had was resizing the pictures. The digital files that you have are probably too large, and they need to be made smaller. It tells you how to do it here. I used my photo editing program to resize mine, but this is probably easier.
For posting pictures on the Forum side of YorkieTalk, please try to post pictures as attachments rather than linking a picture from another site. Long-term, the picture may stop working via linking, whereas if it is saved as an attachment, it will never be lost.
There is a maximum filesize of 200KB for JPG/JPEG files, and 150KB for GIF files. Any files bigger than those will be rejected as attachments. Most digital camera files will be bigger than the maximum filesizes. The easiest way to resize your photo would be to use a program that can resize your picture, such as Irfanview (which is free and downloadable at the link below). The maximum filesize is to save some space on the forum servers, as well as help out the dial-up users. By uploading pictures as attachments, dial-up Internet users can opt to view the picture if they would like and not be forced to download huge files within a thread.
Download IrfanView
The best picture sizes to use for attachments is either 640 by 480 pixels or 800 by 600 pixels if you want a bigger picture. Here is a guide on using IrfanView:

After you have made sure your pictures are under the maximum filesize, you can create a New Thread or Reply to a message and add an attachment to your post. Click on Manage Attachments and click on Choose to find the picture on your computer that you want to upload. Then click Upload to upload the picture, and Close Window after you are finished uploading. Then click on Submit New Thread or Submit Reply as normal.
