New Dog

NickNack — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 22:49:00 GMT

My dog, Nick, died on March 5th. I posted about it here and got a lot of support. I've wanted a French Bulldog for two years but didn't want to get one because I thought it might stress Nick out in his old age. I've always heard that it takes a long time to find a Frenchie, so I started contacting breeders shortly after he died. I wanted a dog that was about three years old, which I also thought would be hard to find. I thought I might have to wait six months to a year to find one from a reputable breeder.

I found one much sooner than I thought I would. She's 3 1/2 and absolutely adorable. She's a lot of fun, too. I took a weekend and went to pick her up. She's so sweet. I'm just absolutely thrilled with her. We bonded quickly. I'm still mourning Nick, but getting another dog quickly was the best thing for me to do. I just wanted to share with you all.

I would love to, but I've tried several times and can't figure out how to do it.

If you create a photobucket account it's pretty easy. I can help if you need it.

I do have a Photobucket account but have read on here that it can be traced to you if you post pictures through it. I wasn't sure I wanted to do that, but I may try. Thank you. How do you do it?

I just tried to insert the picture from PhotoBucket and got a little green square.

This is what happens. What am I doing wrong?

Congratulations on Frankie . . . that dog has just hit the doggie lotto, because she'll be cherished forever.

Thank you Sammycat1. That is absolutely the truth. She lived with six other dogs, and her breeder said she thought it was time that she was the only princess.

I could tell she was very well cared for, though, and her breeder was going to miss her.

Once you have uploaded the pic to photobucket. Click the paper clip on the picture in the left hand corner of photobucket. Copy and paste the link for blogs.

Okay, I tried that but I wasn't sure which one was the link for blogs. I tried copying the one that said IMG. I tried the others, too, and none would copy. I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried it on my desk top and also my laptop.

NickNack — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 03:08:50 GMT

I tried it again, and it copied but I still just get the blue box. Which link am I supposed to copy? They say Email & IM, Direct, HTML and IMG. I copied the IMG code.

I got it! I used the code for Direct this time. It's obviously too big. I should have cut the size down before I pasted. I can't believe I got it to work. Anyway, that's Frankie.

Aww cute. Yeah either of those codes will work. Enjoy your new furbaby.

Re: New Dog

ccassaday — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 03:16:48 GMT

Woops. The direct lonk or the blogs link will work. I am very excited for you. You wont believe how much she will heal your heart.

He is so cute. When my last dog passed, I got another dog within a month and it helped me so much. Each situation is different. I miss my former pet, but love this one and this is what I needed at this time. Good luck with Frankie.

The strangest thing happened. When I tried to sign on to my desktop computer, it made me start all over again signing up. They still gave me NickNack and my regular e-mail address, but now my number of posts has started over again. When I go back to my laptop I'll have 2,000 posts by NickNack again. Very strange.

This is Nick, the dog that I just lost March 5. He is one of the most special dogs I've ever had.
