Shame + Shady Breeder = Beginning 2 Regret...

[MyLovelyNiko]

Thanks to the two ladies that educated me on using a mac laptop. I am new to the world of mac so I had no clue what to do. I also liked that I didn't have to download anything! Worked great! Hope you enjoy them.

Took all the photos on my phone some forgive me if one or two might be blurry... still thought they were cute though, LOL.

Anyway, here is what I do:
In iPhoto select the picture you want to upload.
Go to File and select Export

On the window that pops up:
Kind: JPEG
JPEG Quality: Medium
Size: Custom --> Max Dimension of 400 px
File Name: Use filename
Export

Next you select where you want to export the file to. I made an "exported pictures" file in my documents to put the photos, but the easiest thing to do is export them to your desktop.

Once you have exported the picture you can now use the upload feature here to post the picture. Make sure you choose the exported copy of the photo from its new location and not the photo from iPhotos.

If it says its still to big then change the "400" to something a little smaller.

Once you get the hang of it you can play around with the size and quality of the picture.

Hope that helps!


PS: Congrats on the puppy!!

Thank you all so very much! Very Helpful information.

I have met so many caring people here and met people I am proud to call my friends. Please don't be afraid to post here. People here share a love of these precious babies, and there are so many people who want to help and who reach out to others in need. I am moved to tears almost daily by wonderful acts of compassion.

We can all learn something! Thank you for being so well versed and for such a great post.

I have found some wonderful information and fun threads here on Yorkie Talk and am so thankful I found this forum.

Until coming here, I knew nothing about the breed or how to get one "the right way." I just knew I wanted a little dog that didn't shed or make me sneeze. Yorkies are adorable and fit my criteria. I first tried to adopt one, but was never able to get one before they were adopted by someone else. I became impatient and ended up getting my Brandy from an ad in my local paper. I never saw her home, I picked her up at a grocery store parking lot when she was only 8 weeks old. At the time, I saw nothing wrong with how I came to be her owner. If I were to do it again, now that I have been on Yorkie Talk, I would do everything differently. But, I do feel so fortunate that Brandy is mine. I have had her for just over a year and she is the light of my life. I am officially a crazy Yorkie lady. I am sure you will, if not already do, feel the same way.

Check out the Valentine's Ball thread. You can't help but smile as you read the invites sent between the Yorkies. Also view the actual Valentine's Ball posting. These threads have been the highlight of experience on Yorkie Talk.

Stay, read, learn and enjoy.

& great idea. I will definitely try looking at that. I have been looking at the photos of yorkies now and then. I have found a pup that Niko looks like and I hoping he grows up to look that handsome!

Congratulations on the arrival of Niko. He is adorable. Please stay with this site. As a first time dog owner with Buster Brown I learned so much about taking care of my little furbaby on YT. Having been a survivor myself I call my experiences tests of fire. I see myself as a sword blade that was put into the flame and then hammered. But each time I came out stronger and sharper. Sometimes I react, heck over react, to what I perceive as an attack especially when I am in an all ready emotional state. I have come to realize that sometimes people post from an emotional point of view based on their own tests of fire. They do not realize they are being so confrontational. They are just trying to get their point across but can be a heavy handed when typing. Please do not internalize these posts. See them as only a different point of view and realize they do not know you and your intentions. You do not need to defend yourself and it is only someone's opinion. Sift through the posts gather the knowledge to take care of Niko. Just like politics and religion there are some topics that are likely to get heated here on YT breeder/breeding is one of the top bonfires. Have a wonderful time with Niko. Buster sleeps with me and I love how he snuggles up to me. Best Wishes.

OMG!!!! Congrats. He looks just like Gizmo did at that age.
By the way, I just got done reading this very long, and intense thread. Please know, Niko's Momma, that many times (and this is the beauty of secondary communication) that typing can "come off" in bad ways. Trust me I know, I've even had to have my husband read something and ask "Is there a double meaning here?" or "Do you think they're being mean or sarcastic?"

And to be honest, the best thing I can tell you from reading the previous posts are I honestly with my whole heart think that there were no intentions to hurt your feelings. I know, trust me you can see my earlier posts, that a new fur baby can cause tons of stress and emotions and anything can set you off *thinking about the many crying nights posting on here at 2 in the morning*

But let's swing the other way and say that yeah maybe the intention was there to hurt your feelings. Maybe people were being rude, know-it-all, and what not. Then the best advice I can say that I have learned from owning dogs and heck even in work circumstances is that you can't let mean people and their dumb comments get you all riled up. Because inevitably, whether they post something or not, they are still dumb mean people.

If my mother-in-law has taught me anything, it's that you can't change how people act, but you can change how you respond to it.

Hope you stay here, this website has helped me soooo much and we'd love to see Niko grow into a big boy!

Lots of love!

I have just read this whole thread and want to congratulate on your new puppy, But I am a bit confused over this thread and your obvious dislike for the breeder you obtained your puppy from.
You received a happy, healthy beautiful yorkie puppy. Yet your unhappy with the breeder because she didn't send a blanket or a toy with him.
Unhappy because she didn't call you after you got him? She probably didn't call you because she is reading on here what you are posting.
You were on here badmouthing her even before you got your puppy.
What I don't understand is why you are, You received a perfectly healthy, happy puppy hand delivered and yet your badmouthing her.
What more did you want? For the breeder to move in with you perhaps?

[yorkietalkjilly]

Niko is just adorable. I love that picture particularly where he is beside the jeans and looking so innocent and baby-ish. He is precious! I love all of his pictures. Sounds like you are all read up on how to watch him for emergent situations and what to do so enjoy all this baby time now; and before you know it, he will start to look sort of rangey and long-legged, a bit scraggly in his coat and then, poof - he'll start to compact, change his colors and look all grown up all too soon! This time passes so quickly so enjoy every day of it - even the whining and crying, the pooping where he shouldn't, chewing on your glasses when you just looked away for a moment, toys everywhere and all those other puppy things coming your way. Take lots of pictures of him and have lots of pictures taken of you with him as you will treasure those later. May he live a wonderfully healthy and happy life with you. Hugs all round from us to you!

Your comments are unnecessary and unwarranted.

Will be asking for this thread to officially be closed.
Thank you to all the helpful comments.
No thank you to those who are trying once again to stir up the pot.

[JERSEY BOY]

So cute!! Congrats!!!

I agree with you, those comments were totally unnecessary. Those of us first time Yorkie owners feel and understand what you are going through.

I just love your post. Sooo true the time goes by way to fast. Niko's Mom enjoy every minute of this time.
