Thanks to all for your input and advice.

I realize that no one knows me from Adam, so therefore, I also know that no one says to themselves, "Oh, there's Pipersmom, IGNORE HER!!"

I was just trying to convey that when you're brand new and introduce yourself and your pups, it makes you back off a little if you don't generate many "hellos" or "welcomes". At the same time, I know that all of the comments you've made about how this happens are very good possibilities "thread getting pushed to next page, bad pics, etc."

Thank you all again and gemini9961, your babies are adorable. I love looking at all of the fur kids here. They are all sweet and special.
