    Just wanted to take a moment to say Hello!
     
    I spent several hours ( during puppy naps) reading lots of great posts. Tons of great info, not too mention such gorgeous ;pictures everone has shared of their dogs.
     
    About us: My name is Kim. I live in Belgium and have a 4 month old Belgian Tervuren named Chinook. She is the light of my life....and wow growing like a weed. It literally feels as though I can just sit there and watch her get bigger and bigger. Her cute fluffy teddy bear look is evolving into a beautiful little girl [:)] I am quite ;proud.
     
    Once I figure out how to, I'll share some pictures.
    What a great place.I really am tickled pink to be here.
     Looking forward to learning and sharing with everyone.
    Have a great day!

    Welcome,
    Where do you live in Belgium?  I grew up in Brussels, and attended ISB. 
     
    I go back yearly for training seminars and to visit friends.
    • Gold Top Dog
    Thanks for the warm welcome.
     
    We live in the Mons area :)

    Are you an expat?


    Yes. My husband is military, and his post to SHAPE brought us here last summer. We couldn't be any happier and are thoroughly enjoying this experience. However, my French  is far from perfect. Slowly but surely it seems to be coming along. Chinook has actually been a tremendous help. I have her to thank for my recent improvements. All of her puppy classes are taught in French.[:D]

    Are you Canadian? I looked at your site last night and saw you were in BC. We left Ottawa to move to Belgium. 
    Do you miss living in Brussels?

    Hi-ya Laura!!!
     
    I did make it. Thank you so much for showing me the way....
     
    I am back logged and I owe you an email. Now I am sure you wont be surprised by this, but my life is consumed with puppyness[sm=lol.gif] Every spare moment ( ie that generally means her naptime) i am either reading or researching puppy related info..or i find myself cleaning up... Just like a new Mom, eh?[;)]  She's so full of energy, on occasion I will even find time to squeeze in a nap for myself!
     
     I am going to do my best and try and figure out the picture thing now... but if i have problems, and more than likely i will..I will definitely take you up on your offer. Thanks a bunch!

    Picture related question:
    Instead of just the link how do you get the photo to show?
    Also
    Our camera makes the pictures into a huge format...Photobucket seems to size it down, but should i find a program to size them even smaller? They still seem to take up the entire screen. ( not that I am complaining i think she's beautiful[;)] but i would like to find out how to make an avatar too.
    TIA -Kim-

    Now I am sure you wont be surprised by this, but my life is consumed with puppyness


    Why whatevah could you mean?? [sm=biggrin.gif] I can see why, she's just way too cute! Yah, you *do* owe me an email, but seeing as you have extinuating circumstances (puppy crazies) I'll forgive and wait patiently. [:D]

    As for pictures, if you type the following around your url link to the photo, it will imbed into your post.

    You type:

    . The other option is there is an image or picture button in your reply window. If when you click it a window pops up, you just paste your url in there. If the words pop up in the reply box, you just paste your url between the tags (the [image] tags).

    ;) You'll be busy for a while catching up here! I'm so glad you came.

    Oh, and if you look on the thumbnail page in photo bucket there is an edit button over each picture. After you click edit it will allow you to resize the pic - I think by 75%, 50% or 25%. If the change doesn't show, you may need to refresh your page. It does make viewing easier!

    I can also help you with an avatar. Send me a pic you'd like in an avatar, and I'll make it for you and send it back!
