I was unsuccessful posting photos ... so I'm going to try and post a link to Photobucket ... a.) I hope I did this right and b.) I hope links are okay ... if not, please forgive my ignorance ...

Minnie is our two year old Rat ... she's a joy and the first little dog I ever had ... I'm a 'big dog' person ... she came to us by accident ... she needed a home, my husband and I are suckers for animals and VOILA ... Minerva!

Fable is a female shepherd/husky mix, we've had her for eight years ... she was part of our original 'pack' of BIG DOGS (I'll tell you about Ranger and Soldier another time, I miss those big guys!!!). 

Ozzy just moved in with us last weekend ... a rescue from Connecticut via Tennesee ... he's part Australian Shepherd and part "something big" (maybe Great Pyrenees???) ... he's so darn cute and so darn BIG (13 weeks, 30 pounds of doofus!)

rat-terrier.com has been a Godsend since Minerva and Fable are having some serious issues ... they are both going to get spayed ASAP to see if that alleviates some of the brand new nastiness between the two (formerly loving packmates) ...

Thanks for the warmest welcome and thanks for those of you who rescue and love this SILLY breed!!!

Here is what I do to upload pictures. I use a photoshop account and post my pictures using the Insert/edit image button over the post window. If you go to create a thread, you'll see all these options over the window. In the middle row there is an option there next to the one that looks like an anchor. The option you're looking for looks like a small picture of two mountains and a sun. If you hold your mouse over it, says 'insert/edit image'.
 If you go back to your picture and right click on it, scroll down to 'properties' and copy the url next to location. Go back to your text page and click on the insert image icon and a new page will pop up. Paste your image's 'location' URL into the URL box and just click ok. your post should appear.
 The reason I am saying this is because many people just copy and paste images right into the text box, and I don't think that works anymore. And I don't think just using photoshop is the problem, because I've posted pictures from different sites this was and it worked. I also think your have to have a .jpg image.

She's a beautiful girl, by the way!

Oh she is so cute  Don't even think about apologizing for ignorance re: photo posting...You are brilliant compared to me, I am dying to put pictures up but I am a computer moron!  I even had trouble w/my avatar  I actually think I'm the dumbest computer person on this site...My husband is supposed to help me w/avatar this week-end, and hopefully we can post pictures too...it is just so much fun to see everyone's pictures!!!!!

She is so pretty. And she looks tiny? How much does she weigh?
