I have not checked in for awhile, busy, busy with Tiffany, as we have decided to name our precious new baby! She is a doll and if I can figure out how to post a photo, I will do that, so far though I cannot fifure out how to do that! Any help? The only problem that I am having with Tiffany is a feisty streak when I try to brush her or put a sweater on her, or take something out of her mouth that she has picked up and should not have. She actually growls and tries to bite. I am sad about this personality trait and trying to teach her she cannot do that with us. The rest of the time she is a doll, playful, VERY playful, sweet and loving. SHe turns vicious though when brushed, etc! Any advice there? I am mortified because of course, brushing daily is something she will have to put up with and I was hoping it would be a relaxing activitiy for her. Maybe she just needs to get used to it and outgrow her anger at the brushing??? I hope so! I took her to the vet for her shots and she now weighs 1 ib 6 oz~ Still tiny, and so much personality in such a tiny creature! We just love our TIffany!!!

Posting a picture is pretty simple, once you have written you post, scroll down, under the tab 'additional options', you will see 'attach files', click 'manage attachments' , then click browse, locate your photo , click 'open', then click 'upload' !!!! submit rmessage/reply/post and your all set!! Hope I didn't confuse you. If anyone has an easier way please share!

Jeanne · 02-20-2005, 12:45 PM

Oh no! I tried it and it said the file was too large! It only accepts files that are 200 and mine was over 400. I am not sure how to make it any smaller! Do you know?

Gypsy Rose · 02-20-2005, 03:04 PM

Sure this won't work but trying anyway!! Sorry to interupt your post but have to try one day!! Not very good at things like this!! Ana xx

Hi. Ok, First off I apologize for having to make this message so long but it's the only way I know how to explain it as it was shown to me...

In order to post pics with any computer one might have, normally they have to be resized to fit.

Go to your internet and open up Irfanview.com
You will need to download the FREE 3.95 version.

Once downloaded open it up and click on the little folder icon on the top left hand side. It should bring up all your pics and you browse through and open up the pic you want.

Ok, if you have made it this far and have your pic opened up, go to the top menu again and click on "image", then scroll down to where it says resize/reshape and click on that. On the pop up box put a "set to new size" and i usually key in 750. The rest will adjust itself. Also, make sure "pixels" has a dot beside it.

Then go back to the top and click on file and save as whatever name you want followed by .jpg

Ok, now if you have made it this far. Go into the post you want to attach a pic to. After typing your post, go to the bottom to where it shows "advanced options" or something and click on the "manage attachments". You should then get a pop up that says BROWSE. find the pic in your files that you just previously resized and click on it to open. Click on the upload button and once done close the window. Ok, now when you submit your message don't hit the "submit message" button right below your post, scroll down to the other one underneath the "attachment" section and click on that submit message icon.

Good luck. It took me forever too but thanks to Prissy012899 and Fasteddie they both were my lifesavers with all this picture taking stuff.

I have another alternative that I like to use doesn't involve any downloading of programs check it out!

I'm guessing its it best used for PC or anyone with the standard Paint program.

first click Start > Programs > Accesories > PAINT

once the program has opened at the top go to File > Open

once you've found your desired photo click Open the photo should now appear in the window

return to the top toolbar and look for IMAGE click Image > Stretch/Skew

here is where you resize the photo under the box titled 'Stretch' there should be two 100's in the boxes 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' - replace the two 100's with two 40's click OK

return to the top toolbar File > Save

your photo is now resized!

let me know if it works for you all!

Congrats on your new baby! I have a new one, as well. Among the many things I'm reading is the "Puppies for Dummies" book. It says to call a professional if your puppy growls when being brushed.

Can't wait to see pics of your new baby! Best of luck!

scwellz · 07-08-2005, 10:27 PM

I have an 8 month old yorkie. I got him two months ago. I love him. He is wonderful. I really have no complaints except for the potty breaking. I am having some problems with that. I hear that kind of goes with the territory.
