I almost threw the laptop yesterday. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to move the blasted edited photos to a desktop folder. I looked and looked at what you messaged, but it won't do as it's told. :laugh: I surely can't be that stupid.....well............. does this help?

aahhhh :)do you mean the card on which images are stored? I have had mine for years to post a photo.. using picasa ..just resize it to 600 or 800 , and about 80% quality ..loads much quicker/easier :)

What settings are showing on the camera ?..as in I S O ,aperture, shutter speed ? Auto, or manual? What was the lighting like? I have NO idea what a camera microchip is , so can't help you there...

:) Some of that may work well ... thanks . They are keen to learn things ..so we shall endeavour!!

under the house ? has she been under there before? Is it a well used area? Could there be insect spray etc there , or stuff falling on her from the house flooring above?

Their family , obviously :) I guess I was hoping someone would have some words suitable for the mature 12 yo , which would strike a chord with them, and then could be relayed to parent ..... No matter, I will put something together , using the reasoning, facts suggested .... and which will hopefully lead to them getting their dogs desexed very soon ! Thanks, folks.

They spent $4K on getting a dogs broken leg fixed ...... they really do love their dogs ...

:D

I recently met two absolutely lovely girls .... are keen to breed their pet terriers ... I would like to explain it in a way which is interesting, and friendly , factual, but not using a big stick .... they hate the thought of puppy farms , love their little dogs .....

One thing I used to use when Mitch & I visited friends in cold areas ... like frost & sleet .... was a 2 inch thick foam mattress rolled into a cylinder , secured , backed against an interior wall , and filled with bedding :) he would crawl in there and be warm, draft free and very comfortable !! The mattress just lay flat when not being used ..and took a couple of minutes to set up. It worked brilliantly!!

ermmmm... warning!! You could be tempted.....M U P , it's all your fault :p LINK

Something like THIS??

leave your puppy with his fluffy coat in Winter .. it will grow out ! :) he's only a baby .... If he sleeps indoors , has a suitable BED ..(not a flat mattress with no sides ) or a well covered crate (well covered means at ground level, so there are no drafts ) he should not need a coat .:) beds should be snuggly , with sides higher than the dog ..and placed well away from doorways etc where cold air can slide in , straight onto the dog.

Your dogs deserve their peace. It is THEIR home . it is unfair to have such an enthusiastic youngster annoying them... puppy , or adults should have a separate area ..well secured , where they can be kept separately ...either a pen, or a gated room ..or outdoor run. They don't really need to be together in your dogs' territory .... you just need to keep pup safe and cared for in the absence of its owners ....

Your dog who is no longer able to hold on overnight - what is the vet diagnosis? There may be a simple answer ... The BEST option for crating a dog who knows they may have a chance of escape is not to just go one or two steps up the scale ..but get the fort Knox variety ..which gives NO chance of escape at all ... :) could you instead use a room with baby gates ? ..and maybe an indoor toilet if medication is no help for the night wetter?

may this be the start of a more peaceful life for them all...

I hope she will form a good partnership with her new boss ... and do excellent work :)

I can suggest a few things. Install a camera outside , so it can 'see' the yard/fence on the neighbour's side. a LINK to some useful cameras :) Do NOT communicate with them , or retaliate. keep a diary ..just the time, and what happened. take lots of photos of damage/rubbish, etc . and keep safely . build/buy a run for puppy , and keep him in it when you're away ... on the other side of the yard , maybe ? Put up shade cloth or something to help with privacy ? Best of luck. Oh, and BREATHE

Buy a crate strong enough for the dog it is to hold :) A dog can weigh 50 kg and not have an urge to scratch/chew at a crate ..or a smaller dog can destroy one if it is looking to escape... I suggest a good metal one .

Methinks garbage bins should be well locked away , if he's so obsessed ...poor boy .

THIS ONE :) and , sometimes THIS ONE and sometimes, a bit of both :p

yes! :( It used to be fantastic food ..and Aussie owned/made.

T the O P was referring to a product sold for human mothers ... which can apparently get rid of baby belly in no time flat Purple-Bliss :) if you can take a couple of photos of your girl showing that droop ... perhaps we can help more ?

No :) I used to take one of mine to help with his anxiety issues! :)
