What an exciting Sunday you all had! A long walk and a new leash thingy to learn. By the way, Phred, I am only taking Taggert to the thing in Toledo so since I am used to having more than one attached to me, I would be glad to help with yours.

What a great day, running loose with the other dog, getting all muddy - definitely a great dog day!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Looks like everyone had a great time.

The picture of Bowzie in the middle with Cinder and Smoke, reminds me of when I was a kid. My Dad and brother would surround me like that and I had to run to keep up.

[Lexi_Lover]

Looks like they had fun! Always a way to do that, huh?

So let me get this straight, Phred, did you keep Bowser?

Looks like everyone had a great time, Phred. I was wondering though....it would seem to make sense to have one collar with 3 hook-ups on it, one hook up for the leash, and one hook up on either side for the other doggies...if you know what I mean. Then one doggie in the middle gets that collar, and the other two have their own collars clipped to the one in the middle...so they go in a row instead of in a y.


Kinda like dis

O---Q---O

O=doggy collar
Q=doggy collar with leash hook-up

Know what I mean?

[lbaker]

What I'm wondering is.. is it just my sloooow home computer or what? It takes so long to load up this incredible "tail" with pictures and all.. could we possibly have "Bowser Part II" or something in a new thread? With a link-up to the original? If that's not right I can just wait until I'm at work but..(that can be daaangerous to stay on PT too long.. iffin you know what I mean )

[NoahsMommy]

Those pictures are PRECIOUS, Phred!!!

Looks like they're getting along well and Bowzer looks so happy and healthy in your care.

Great job, Phred!!!

[zippy-kat]

Hey Phred - why don't ya hook a sled up to that rig?

Bootz ought to get a laugh...


(Maybe next "tail" should be on a Bowser II thread?)

There's an "Option" you can change in "User CP"
that might help to "Speed things UP" for you...

The TIME required to load a Thread onto your puter is a function
of MANY factors - one of which you can easily change to see
if it helps.

No matter How Many individual "Posts" there are in a thread;
YOUR puter only loads "some" of those posts...
5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 posts - AS Selected by YOU.

The more posts you choose to see on a page, the LONGER it takes
to load the page. And if there are some photos, or large Siggys on
those pages - it can take "quite a while" "load" that page!

To check and/or CHANGE you setting - go to >>>
"user cp" - click that button just under the Top Banner

Next *click* on "Edit Options" and scroll down to:
"Default Posts per Thread" and LOOK to see what's showing
in the lil window.

If it says "Default" or 20, or 30, or 40 posts per page...
Ya mite wanna try CHANGING it!!

I suggest you try "10 posts / page".
After you select your new setting,
you MUST scroll on down and click the
"Submit Modifications" button at the bottom to have the
change take effect.

*I* have mine set for "10 posts per page" -
a workable number for my "not-so-swift" puter and Dial-Up modem.

For this 400+ post THREAD about da Bowz;
IF you're set on "20 posts / page" - you're loading 1/20 of
the thread each time you visit.
CHANGE your setting to "10 posts / page" and you only load 1/40th
of all the posts. It WILL load *quicker*!

And *I* personally *like* the continuity of the Loooonger Tails -
it's ALL there under ONE Thread Title...
no <wondering> if you've "Missed" a portion
of the Tail somewhere if you don't check it every day.

Thanks for the info Phred!
I think our computers are related. Mine is an old "not-so-swift" puter and Dial-Up modem too.

I had mine set on default and it took forever to load on some threads. Usually on pages that have blinkies and stuff. I changed it to 10.

I sort of like having the "tails of Bowzie" in one thread. I might miss one if there are more than one thread. If you do start a new thread, please leave us a map here so we can find it.

ps: it does load faster!!!!

[lbaker]

WOW! I had no idea! I really like one thread too I just didn't know I could do this. It would be purrfect for something like the "Cruise of the Feline Princess" thread. Now I know, thanks again Phred.
