Hi Misty,

Yes, I'm the mommy to a young puppy again, I know I said this before when I got Duncan but I really mean it this time I'm too old for a young puppy..... lol

Look at me now its 5:00 am and I've been up since 3:45 am cause Keanu needed to go outside, wanted water, and a lil snack......and where is he now

I wanted to ask you - once you opened that pic in word and added the text boxes, could you not have taken a screen "capture" (selecting only the picture)? This would avoid the extra steps (pdf>jpg) - or do you think it would have blurred the text?

That's a good question. The only way I know of to do a print screen is to hit the print screen button, and the do a paste into Word. So...if I did the print screen button (which I presume is what you're saying when you say screen capture), what would I do with it then to save it as jpg? Maybe Mango knows if you don't?!

Aaah!..... the smell of sweet puppy breath at 3:45AM........Your baby is just toooooo adorable. We need to see more pics of him so we can give him a CyberSmoosh.

Hhmmm...... my main computer is a Mac. It has a built in "capture" utility called "Grab", which allows you to capture the screen, a window or just a selection (eg. just that picture you had labelled in Word.) You then save it in whatever format you want. See my example below - I did a random "selection" from a web page describing the utility I mention next.
On a PC, there are seperate applications that do the same thing, like "Better Screenshots". See it here:
http://www.publicspace.net/windows/B.../features.html

I use these type of applications because of their simplicity and "one-step" instant results....
Okey Dokey... that's my li'l lesson for the day from your local computer geek Please excuse my enthusiasm, but I love computers ALMOST as much as Yorkies.

[laurenr]

Oops Lisa! one more thing. Better Screenshots is only $14.95, but there is another app called "Snagit" at $39.95" that is far more sophisticated, but VERY user friendly:

Here is a "grab" of part of their webpage, listing features.

Thanks Lauren. I'll have to look into those programs. I wouldn't have pegged you for a computer geek!

Oh gosh, I'm SO sorry I missed this! When/where was it held? I definitely want to make the next one! All the babies are Sooooooooo cute! It looks like everyone had a blast and the dogs looked like they were loving being around so many of their "own kind", LOL. Just too cute! The video and pictures are wonderful. ON the bottom of the video, there were other little videos...were those done by YT'ers too? If so, WHO is responsible for the one titled "Puppy Love", starring Jack, Kate and Sawyer? It is the MOST precious thing I've ever seen in my life! It is so so sweet, and the music is just perfect! Thanks so much for posting it all; it really made my day! And my little guy is dark colored too....it's interesting how they are each their own personality, but they definitely have certain "Yorkie-isms"...I had to laugh at (what I think might have been) the male dog doing his (what we call it) stud muffin routine, like a bull getting ready to charge, LOL. I laugh every time I see Max do it! Again, thanks for all the great photos!

We met at Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim, CA - Saturday, June 9th at 1:30 pm. You can see our discussion leading up to the meet-up in the Regional forum at http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81312. Also, if you are interested in coming to future meet-ups, join our Yahoo Group at http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42879/*http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoCalYorkieMeetup
where we talk more about the details without taking up YT space (and in case the YT servers go down )! We'd love to have you join us!

OH, and about the other video you asked about, I don't know any Yorkies named Jack, Kate, or Sawyer, so I don't think that was posted by our group.

Little Lilo got her harness stuck in the X-Pens where we had two of them connected. It all turned out ok, but it was scary in the moment.
