Lizbit wants some attention, too.

I am pleased to announce that, despite not having any last-minute advice on final exams from Annie, Lizbit passed all her tests last night to become an official graduate of the Intermediate Obedience program at the University of PetSmart.

She was the salutatorian of her class, as valedictorian honors went to her Chow pal, Remy. In the post-ceremony wrestling exhibition, however, she did pin Remy several times, a first.

Her official graduation photograph has not yet been posted on the trainer's web site. I will share it with you when it's available. (If you think dog graduation pics are dumb, consider that fair warning. You are not required to open this thread again. )

Dang, I wish I had attened her alma mater - that post-graduation wrestling match sounds fun!

Congrats, Lizbit. I have a feeling Annie better hurry and get well before Lizbit figures out her 'puter password.

t.

Hooray for Lizbit!

I don't that dog graduations are dumb, but then again, our cats have birthday parties.

Yay, Lizzie!

(Sybil still sits on the bed like a slug (it's her only defense), but I'm sure she's happy for her 4-footed BB.)

Outstanding Lizbit! Did she eat the mortarboard?

Please tell me she's not wearing a cap and gown.

Bob Juch will be relieved to see that she's not wearing a cap and gown. No gown was involved.

Send mrkelley his $.05, please.

Here's Lizbit and her friend Remy doing their "long down-stay," while making puppy-dog eyes at each other.

how marvelous. Contrats to Lizbit

Lizbit is a charming young lady, and looks very 'fetching" in her cap...


BADABING!

She's gotten so big!

Yes, and she's still growing. I was astounded to see, when Annie came back home, that Lizbit could no longer run under Annie's tummy. (All things considered, this is a good thing!)

I am duly impressed. I have a High School Diploma, B.S., a J.D. I passed the CPA exam and the Bar exam, but I flunked Dog Obedience School.

Rosie the Irish Shredder and I were politely asked not to come back to class after the first 2 classes.

I graduated with Honors and Benefits from my Puppy Class!! I was salutatorian too!! The valedictorian wasn't very outgoing. But Mom says Dobies usually aren't!

I didn't go on to intermediate. But Dad's reading the paper! And it says there are agility classes starting!! I can run real fast!! and jump over rocks and creeks!! and run in circles!! and run up logs!!

YAY LIZBIT!!!

John Grogan tells a story like that in Marley & Me too.

Hey! Did they refund your money?!!!

I was too humiliated to ask for a refund from the 4-H Club.

I don't think you're the only dog owner who hasn't made it past a few dog obedience classes. I've heard several of these stories.

Irish Shredder could tell us a lot about your dog, I suppose.

What we won't do for our kids. I am NOT a dog person at all.
Never had one, don't really want one.
I now have the privilege of dog sitting Kelbie, Natalie's Yorkie,
when she is on buying trips in LA.

I've had Kelbie since Thursday. She sleeps with me, follows me everywhere and in fact,
is sitting right beside me
as I type this. I noticed she was smelling like a dog.
I couldn't believe it, but I took Kelbie and
put her in the laundry room sink and
gave her a bath. My first dog bath ever.
She was good, however, she did go right outside
and roll around in the grass.

If she stays here much longer, I may have to get username.

I couldn't understand why I couldn't see the pictures until I quoted the message and realized that they were actually URLs to photobucket.com. So I've added the URL tag.

That didn't help because evidently that site is blocked so I'll have to see them at home.

I don't know what you see. On my screen, the photos are visible within the post.

That's just it - I don't see anything. But when I quote the message, I see an "img" tag followed by a Web address. By making the "img" into a "url" I can click the link to go to photobucket (or I could if the site weren't blocked). This isn't the first time this has happened to me - other people have posted pictures that don't show up, for the same reason. So it must be some sort of setting that is causing the problem.

My work firewall does the same thing -- it's similar to what happens in an email when your anti-spam software kicks in. Your work is blocking "remote images" which is what these are. I can see them at home, can't see them at work.

I think if the images are saved to the user's home computer, thenposted using that link, I can see them. But photobucket and flickr are blocked, for what are semi-obvious reasons.

That's good to know. I have been using Photobucket because that site permits resizing of a photo for a specific purpose, without permanently shrinking or altering my original. (The first time I tried it, it was because the picture I tried to paste directly from my computer was enormous.)

I will experiment with other approaches in the future.

Aww! Congrats to Lizbit! (Remy is a cutie too!)

If I've ever seen a brief paragrah that belonged on a game show audition sheet, it would be this one.

I'm pretty sure I tried that one at least one. But thanks for the suggestion
