Here's my little puppy dog. His name is General MacKenzie. He has a dirty face because he just finished his dinner:

What a cutie Bev!!!
Ok, so if this is the new dog photo thread, here are my babies:
This is Cara and Charlie. Cara has red hair, Charlie brown.
And this is our kitty Riley, of the ribbon eating fame.
So Joan, how's Fred doing?

Great dogs! They look like they get along very well. Did you notice the funny you made about Charlie Brown?
Fred still isn't pooping despite being full of barium, so we'll see. He's pretty quiet, but at least he is hungry.
Thanks for asking.

I just got home Joan, but I'm still thinking of Fred. I don't want you guys to wait too long... if you get uncomfortable is there an emergency vet you can take him to tomorrow to get the surgery? In the end you have to do what you think is right... I'm just worried about him. I hope he gets the all clear soon.
And thanks for the compliments on my babies all. Yeah, Bev, when I walked into the bathroom and found Riley asleep in the sink I thought it was hilarious. I had to take a photo.
And I did make the Charlie Brown joke sort of on purpose, Joan. Even though they aren't related, Charlie and Cara do love each other very much. We took Cara to the Humane Society and she picked out Charlie. We had no say in it.

What adorable pets you gals have! I love the photos! I've shared this once before, but I'll post it again... this is my baby, Fluffy, the ruler of our house. 
Okay, this is annoying! I used to be able to link to my photos at villagephotos, but I can never get Snapfish to work right! I even tried adding .jpg to the end and it still didn't work. Chinagrl, any suggestions this time?

Oh Kristen, I feel your frustration. I thought for sure those free photo sites, like vilagephotos would work but I guess not. I tried to import photos to here from "my photos" on my Yahoo acct. Wouldn't work. Don't want to use the free web space from my normal ISP since we use it for other things, but guess there's no other way unless you have a pay host for a web page.
Are we all scratching our heads?

Hey, I was just going to suggest using http://www.villagephotos.com/. I looked at Yahoo, Kandee, and the thing is that they won't let you link your photos to other sites (like this one). Instead they'd want you to send an email referring people back to their site. I think it cuts down on the amount of bandwith used.
I looked at the one you were using Kristin, and I couldn't find a way to share within another site either.
Ok, I'm testing villagephotos:
Ok, weird, they just said I've exceeded my daily usage limit. Let me look into it.
Ok, testing photo.net
Ok, still working on this.

Unfortunately, websites are getting greedier these days and are preventing users from posting their photos by linking back to their sites. In general, most websites that require a login or subscription service will not allow you to link your picture.
When you upload pictures to their site, they post them in a special way without using a .jpg or .gif website address. This prevents people from using their server space without visiting their website. I know Snapfish has been like this for ages, and Yahoo just upgraded their Photos site to prevent this.
Hope this helps.

That spells it out completely!!! Thanks Jen. I was wondering about any site that was password protected, so guess, in one respect, I was right.
So, the ONLY thing one can do is use the free web space with their ISP? Or pay for a web site? Or, like in the case of the smileys, grab the URL IF they have a .jpg or .gif extention?
OMG, sitting here we just had a "shaker",  pretty big one too..Got my attention, big time!!!....Well, they don't call us "shake and bake" country for nothing. Now, to go turn on the news to see where the epicenter was.

Not ALL websites with logins and passwords prohibit this, but in my experience, I have found that most do.
Unfortunately, someone else will have to help you out with which sites will let you display personal pictures on here from their site. I believe China girl mentioned a site in a previous post or thread.

Thanks. Kenzie is a real gem. He always goes wherever we go, and causes a commotion every time.
We leave him in the back of the car while we're in the grocery store, and when we return to the car, there's always a crowd around it, tapping at the window, ooing and awing at him. He cries until we open the window so the strangers can pet him. And little children are his absolute favorites -- they're little, like he is, and he whines something fierce until we finally let him crawl all over the little child, licking him everywhere. It's absolutely adorable, and the children love it. (We would never allow it, of course, if the child was fearful or the parent didn't want it.) He just loves children soooooo much.
Sometimes when I think he wants to play with his favorite toy, I'll crawl on the floor with it, but instead he ignores the toy and comes right up to my face and kisses me on the nose.
He's the love of my life, the only baby I'll ever have.

OMG! Girl, are you feeling alright?
How can you resist these guys? They love you unconditionally. No matter what you've done, or what your faults, they love you. When you're down and out, feeling really awful, they come up to you, climb in your lap, and lick your tears away. Some dogs have been known to save their masters' lives, even at the risk of their own.
How can you not love these marvelous creatures? Me thinks perhaps you haven't been exposed enough to them to really appreciate how terrific they truly are. Definitely "persons' best friend."

Okay, let me clarify. I like older dogs, who are very mellow and will just keep you company and be by your side. I think they're adorable. But... I'm just not into young, lively dogs who jump all over you and ruin your clothes. I guess I'm just not in a dog mood right now since I went to my aunt's house last night and she let her dog jump on everyone, even my elderly grandmother who could easily be injured by his claws! People who let their dogs run wild are a big pet peeve of mine. I guess in all I'm just a lot more of a cat person. There's nothing better than sitting on the couch with a warm, furry bundle curled up on your lap and purring contentedly. A dog can't beat that.

I don't blame you for being upset ABOUT your aunt's dog. There's no excuse for bad pet behavior, whether it's from a dog OR a cat. BUT -- the fault is with your aunt, NOT the dog. Everyone who has a pet has a responsibility to teach it manners. No one wants to come to your home to visit, only to have a ill-mannered animal jump up on him or her for any reason whatsoever.
I am terribly allergic to cats (it's the dander, not the cat); my eyes swell up and itch, my throat itches, and I can't stop sneezing. When I go to a friend's house to visit, and they allow their cat to rub up against me despite my protestations, I have to turn around and leave. It's not the cat's fault, but the friend who allows it. It's called bad pet manners. I don't blame the cat; I blame the friend for allowing it.
Let me tell you a little dog story. You may not like dogs, but this is a story you can at least appreciate. Back in 1974, hubby and I had a little seaside cottage on the coast in Northern California. It had a lot of windows all around and a front door of all glass -- to let in the incredible view of the ocean. Very romantic, very scenic. At the time, we had a very big dog -- a doberman named Max. That dog was incredibly intelligent and very obedient. We saw to it -- taking him to dog class (he graduated) and religiously working with him, training him to obey and respect us and our family. There's nothing that dog wouldn't have done to protect us.
One day I was home alone in the middle of the day. I had just gotten out of the shower when two strange men came to the front door and knocked, very loudly. I had a towel wrapped around me, nothing more, and I was scared; the men could see me right through the glass on the front door. I don't know whether they knew I was home alone, but I had a very bad feeling about them. Max knew I was afraid -- he smelled it -- and he came tearing into that living room, ready to protect me, and charged at the front door. Those men turn around and beat feet out of there so fast, I hardly knew what happened. I never did find out what they wanted, nor did I care. I didn't need a gun for protection; I had my beloved dog, Max. He calmed down as soon as the men ran away and came over to me to make sure I was okay; all he needed for reassurance was a hand on him.
Now THAT's what a dog can do for you!

Also, I don't condone interspecies love. Although sometimes if I'm not careful my dog tries to slip me the tongue too.

Bev, you're completely right. I don't blame the dog at all, it's just not fun for me to be around him because of his owners. My cousin had a gorgeous, well behaved dog named Ginger, and I adored her. She was just he sweetest thing. Here's a pic of me with her about 8 years ago: web page. If all dogs were like that I'd be more of a dog person, I've just seen too many who weren't trained properly. And you're completely right, a lot of cat owners are at fault for the same thing! Please don't take it personally, I'm sure I'd love your doggie, since you obviously love him dearly and have trained him well! And thanks for sharing your story about Max, he sounds like an amazing dog too! Good thing you had him around for that incident!

The quake was a false alarm  (could have fooled me). Seems they were doing some pretty serious dynamiting around here and it sure affected us like a quake.........whew........at least I didn't have to wait for aftershocks.
But the big news is that it snowed here all last night....
Everything white when we got up.........Neat...but it doesn't last....starting to melt some already. That's the way the desert is..

When you only get snow once or twice a year, yes it is a big deal. Funny how the least little bit of anything out of the norm will trigger Califonians into making it a BIG deal. For example, we always joke about this state in comparison to other states that have an accident on the freeways. Many states in the east, like VA, MD will say on their road signs, in so many words, "get it off the freeway ASAP", but in SoCal nothing moves until all the camera crews arrive (usually from more than one network), the brigade of police, fire and ambulance arrive, lawyers arrive...............and..........well, you get the picture
For you, it's not IF snow, it's HOW MUCH snow. Wonder if I could live in that again...? I'd be a complete disaster.
I lived in VA for 4 years and hated the black ice most of all.
But, glad it doesn't bother you! Makes the summers that much more enjoyable for you..........when we're hitting 115+

I bet it would be really weird for you to come back here again, Kandee! You'd be freezing, just like I'd be sweating to death if I were to come there in the Summer! Actually, I'd prefer something more middle of the road. I've lived here my whole life, and I still hate the Winters here. I'm thinking maybe I'll move to Maryland someday... that seems much more temperate.

Hey Chinagrl, There are a lot of things that blow my mind about TX.............no fault frontage roads to the freeways, quart beers (with handy can opener) right in front as you walk into the convenience stores........and more.
When I was there last Feb it was right after the ice storm and they still had things shut down even though it was only raining by then, so I know what you mean.
Like you, I do warm weather better now than cold, (since developing IBS).....before it was the reverse.....can't win. Besides, eating soooo low fat, I'm cold all the time.
If/When I get to Austin again to visit my daughter, I'll look you up, ok?

LOMBO.............
Oh my girl, you have to start doing some traveling, last I looked at the map, Maryland wasn't exactly what you'd call middle of the road. How about Hot-lanta? Or Denver?
Growing up in AZ we jokingly said that our blood was thinner and that's why we got cold so fast. Seems like there has been some research that actually supports that notion. I forgot all the details now but the findings were that people who live in cold country as opposed to those who live in warm areas REALLY do have different blood....something to do with the viscosity maybe? (Any nurses around to help me out here?)
But, you're right, I'd freeze back there.........sure would like to spend part of a summer there though.

See, Hot-Lanta would be way too hot for me! I'm a Northeastern gal! I don't think I could handle the heat anywhere South of Maryland! That's how I reasoned it anyway, lol.
That's interesting about there being physical evidence for how we adapt to our climate! I actually had an online friend from Oman who moved to Florida with her family a couple of months ago, and even though it was still in the 60s or so at that point she was freezing her butt off! I don't know if she ever got used to it. And to hear her say what the temp was I almost laughed, because we were in the 30s already at that time... but I know it was just what she was used to!
