@chris, What no pictures?  I guess you were too concerned with her well being to worry about pictures, but it would have been fun!

Naughty Sophie story #2: We were having work done on the house by a guy whom we trusted implicitly. We took mother-in-law out for a leisurely lunch and visit to a museum, leaving Sophie in her crate in our bedroom so she would be out of the workman's way (she loved him and he'd play with her at the end of the day, so she'd have pestered him to no end if left loose). We came home a few hours later, opened the bedroom door, and found Miss S. in the midst of a huge mess (not that kind) on the floor -- chewed up tissues, pens, a lipstick, gloves, some earrings, and worst of all, the remnants of a pack of chewing gum. Looking around, I saw that she had been up on top of my dresser. On further investigation, I discovered that she had chewed through the lining of the outside pocket of my purse, which was hanging on the corner of the mirror, thus gaining access to its contents. That stinker figured out how to open her crate,  somehow climbed on top of it, climb onto the dresser, and then had a party with the items on my dresser and in my purse. We took her to the vet ER and $800 later (stomach pumping, insulin reaction monitoring, etc. due to the xylitol in gum), and upon bringing her home, watched as she ran back to the scene of the crime, looking for her crate and more gum. Our workman felt terrible; he said he could hear her making noise in the bedroom, but he didn't want to go in there since that wasn't an area he had to work in and he didn't want to invade our privacy. After that, we gave him permission to check on our darling if he ever heard her making weird noises.

Sparkle is Doug's mischievous one. Gromit is good as gold.

oh she's a smart little devil. i love her!!! she would make a great match for my ricky-rafa, known as "The Rafanator." TG he doesn't seem as smart! He loves the dishwasher, too, but if he ever walked on it, it'd break. He's a big Corgi. Lucy's a feather-weight, w/o a destructive bone in her body. I could leave a hamburger w/ bacon on a low table and she wouldn't touch it. RR would eat everything, incl. the plate!

Hey, what a helpful pup! Wish I could train mine to do the dishes :)

Here it is --- hope you think it's worth it! After I had words with my computer in Italian it finally worked. We turned our back for a minute while cleaning up after dinner to find this scene. Sophie was so engrossed in her "corgi pre-rinse" duties that she didn't budge when I went for the camera.

Thanks for the advice re: fixing the photo size. I have been having very frustrating incidents with computers at home and work lately. I totally understand Gromit/Sparkle (don't know which) chewing up the mouse! Now I can't even get it to show up; it will show a link but not the pic. GGRRRRR!!!! Give me a mouse to chew! STAT!

HI Chris, after you browse to upload your photo, you cn change the photo width. Just type in the width you want, usually 500 or less. I usually use 350.

Hi Chris, after you browse for your photo, there is an option to change the photo width in the little box. Just type in a smaller size. Usually 500 or less, I tend t go about 350 for my photos.

I posted a pic in another group but now can't seem to get it here except in a huge size. Any advice? I am un-techie.
