I need the code to put a pic in my siggy. I think I'm going to put my puppy portraits there!
Re: Paula...help
I'm going to try and get this without seeing it, because the Nest keeps screwing with my profile.

take out the **s above, the _ is a space, and insert your tinyurl in the blah blah blah part. If you need to shrink it,:
<**img_src="http://......."_width=300**> (You can play with the 300 number.)
Oooh - I have to AW her, though. Mandy, you'll appreciate how frightening it is when they don't listen!
Xena got her Frontline on Tuesday night, so she doesn't have a collar on (she gets a back-up collar only when it's time to go outside for potty for at least 24 hours.) So Greg got home from work yesterday and decided "She's been really good about playing off leash and listening, so I'll try and let her go potty off leash."
There are no words to describe the sinking feeling I get when Greg says that kind of thing.
He let her off leash to go potty and she TOOK OFF after a bird.... STRAIGHT THROUGH our back yard into the adjacent back yard (that back yard leads to a front yard on a busy street!) Greg yelled at her and said "XENA - STOP RIGHT NOW." She stopped!
She turned and looked at him. He said "Xena, here. Now." She looked at him. LOL He said "Dog, don't burn me on this... get over HERE NOW." She came running back and SAT IN FRONT OF HIM AND LOOKED AT HIM. (Very Shepherd, but very unlike Xena to be so obedient! LOL)
It still strikes terror in me to think of letting her off leash without some ploy to lure her back, but slowly... she's getting it.
When we had Xena in training, our trainer used to tell us to make sure to reward her with things other than food because dogs can become un-food motivated. I laughed at her, but now it's so true. Xena loves her treats, but she could care less enough to stop horsing around for one. LOL
We have tried toys in the past (when she's taken off), but if she has her favorite green ball, forget it - no chance! Nothing means more to her than that green ball! The only ploy we've tried is I get in the car and get in sight of her and say "Xena, wanna go for a ride?!" Only now she doesn't like my new car! LOL
