WOO HOO! I did it and it seems to work! Yeaaaaa Phred! I'm learning new computer stuff all the time it seems. We have a new "techie" at work that's very patient with me and has given me a few tips. I may get the hang of this stuff after all :rolleyes: Bowser and I may be old dogs but who says we can't learn new tricks :D
*an got Y'd up*:D :D :D
Love it! I think Cinder and Smoke should start work on the official Dog Speak Dictionary. Time to educate the rest of the world.
Having Y'd up my two on occasion, may I state that being good doesn't necessarily go along with being Y'd up. Cinder, Smokey, and Bowser deserve considerable praise for cooperation on the shopping expedition.
Sounds like you all had a great time.
:D Such good boys! All 4 of you!:D
Welcome to the 3 dogs at once club!! Do't you love to watch the jaws drop and the people stare!! I don't know how many times I have heard "i can't even handle my one!" I just smile and say training! And when I had Taggert with me two and had all 4 at "Dog Days" :eek: was a reaction I got a lot!!
Sounds like a fun time was had by all!! Can't wait to mee teh Bowser boy!!
YUPPERZ!! ;) :DQuote:

Reactions of the Joggers and Bikers are PHUNN to watch! :)
Main Pathways in Mill Creek are 20-24 feet wide,
with very smooth asphalt paving ...
Most everyone "stays to the right" ...
Joggers & Bikers CAN "sneak up on ya" without much notice...
I often become aware that "we're about to be <passed>" when I
hear a :eek: <*GASP*> in my ear and the
GASPer
suddenly veers off into the oncoming "lane" with a *worried* look at
the LOooong length of rope tween ME and the Dawgs!!
I envision a mind rapidly calculating =
"Those DAWGS can get ALL the way across this path!" :eek:
If the same Jogger/Biker passes us a second or third time -
I notice the "off course" deviations become less and less! :D
Thankfully MOST *fast* runners WITH a Doggie Partner call out
"On your LEFT!" as they approach to pass -
gives us "slow folk" a chance to <reel in> our Scout Team and
move to the edge of the path.
All the Dawggies we *meet* seem mellow & friendly!
But the "W:cool:W! THREE Dawgs!" *LOOKS* are priceless!
:D
/s/ Phred
I had this same problem back in my dial up days. A fellow PetTalker gave me this tip:
Follow Phred's instructions to get to "Thread View Options"
The first option is "Show user's signature in their posts?" Check NO.
I didn't know about changing the number of posts per page, but if you need a little more speed, try no sigs, too.

I've been trackin' that bad boy for quite some time now, wonderin' when the heck the lil' tracker box would say more than just "Left the Hobbs/Roswell facility!" lol
So glad everything got there in one piece and so glad you enjoyed everything! :D
A ~HUGE~ thank you for all that you've done for Bowser!
Glad to hear the package made it safe and sound!! Hope everyone enjoys!!

*I* hadn't realized there was an :eek: "problem" till I readQuote:

Zipp's Post and then <looked> at the Postage Label =
EEE-Yiipes!! LOTTA $$ munnie for "Priority Mail" box to
take EIGHT Daze to get from New Mexico to Ohio!! :(
Sounds like a job for my Buddie Janice at the PO to look into!
Saturday mornin, at the PO...
Hi, Janice! Take a <look> at this lid from the box I got Friday.
Ooooh, MY!! EIGHT Days!???
Shudda been here LAST Saturday or Monday at the latest.
Something went terribly wrong with THAT Box!
Let's see... Address correct & Legible;
No postmarks showing it was mis-delivered;
leave that lid with me - I'll do an "inquiry" on Monday.
OK, Thanks!
Uhh-Ooooh! HERE's the Problem!!
See THIS >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/f5128881.jpg
Were there any "Hazardous Materials" in the box??
Uhhh, NO! Dawg & Kat Treats and Toys! No Bombs!
Welllll, "Somebody" at a Sorting Facility put
that "NO Fly" Label on there to prevent this box
from getting ON an airplane; OR when it got taken OFF
an airplane because of a "problem".
Wonder WHY it got put on there???
Further close examination of the lid revealed >>>
The PROBLEM >>>
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f5128746.jpg
Partially Obscured (But still "readable") Haz-Mat placards
imprinted on the carton ends...
Reads "Consumer Quantity" + "ORM-D" + "ORM-D-AIR"
All "shorthand" for saying the box once-upon-a-time carried
"stuff" that can't FLY without a Haz-Mat Shipping Document.
We looked a lil closer...
And decided The Box was a retired "Avon Cosmetics" carton.
LOOK! Somebody knew "Some of the Tricks" with
these old Avon boxes - they completely COVERED ALL the Big-Print
"AVON" imprints {SEVEN of em!) with paper labels.
And "tried" to cover the Haz-Mat placards printing with a magic marker!
Musta been a real Eagle-Eye Aviation Safety "Spotter"
that read those old Haz-Mat Placard imprints!
Then she went on to explain WHY she knew EXACTLY what happened...
Janice: "I used an Identical AVON box to send
Christmas gifts to my daughter - took TWO WEEKS to get to California! :mad:
Daughter complained to her Postmaster who did a review and
reported back that "the BOX" was at fault for it's "old" AVON labels!"
Moral of the Story - Don't use AVON Boxes to ship stuff! :rolleyes:
I'm really SORRY that the "Gift Committee" was worried...
But it DID get here Safe & Sound.
Dunno if it was by Train, Truck, or 20-Mule Team Wagon;
but whatever the method - WE are HAPPIE!! :D
Here's the PO "Final Report" >>>
