Hello from Canada

  • Ok, I'm going to attempt to make my first post. I've only just "found" this forum, but I've been around on a couple other lists, most notably the Basenji Pix list, for some time.
    I live in Ontario, Canada, with my 2 brats. They are Jigsaw, Vinaka's Piece Of The Puzzle, JC, 6 yr old red/white female; and Indy, Vinaka's Got The Pole Position, 3 yr old black/white male. Both were bred in the USA by Dennis and Cathy Trautman, and were very much worth the LONG drives to get them. (Jigsaw's drive home was thru' some very memorable snowstorms!) By pedigree they are aunt and nephew, but at home they are siblings all the way!
    Primarily they are my always-entertaining pets, but we have done some lure coursing (mostly with Jigsaw; Indy hasn't lived up to his name expectations in that respect) and Indy has done some conformation showing, now in altered classes whenever the opportunity presents itself. As those of you who may be on the pix list can attest, they both are very experienced models and willingly allow themselves to be the focus of my photography obsession.
    I have been a veterinary technician for almost 13 years and work in a small animal practice where Jigsaw and Indy get to come to work with me everyday.
    I hope to get to participate in some of your discussions, provided I can figure out my way around posting and replying! I'm not the most computer literate person out there! :-)

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    @wizard: Actually you don't need to upload them to another website – at the bottom of the "Quick Reply" box click on the "Go Advancaed" button then scroll down past the "Reply" box to the "Additional Options" and click on "Manage Attachemtns". Then you can upload directly from you own computer files and the photos will be inserted at the correct size. It's easy. Thanks, I will give that a go next time.
