Beautiful! :) He could be a clone of Rufus at that age. Same white chin, chest spot, even the sprinkle of white on his head! Rufus has faded and the white spots are smaller, plus he is a lot curlier! Your groomer did a great job! :)

I'd love to see more Rufus photos.

When Gandhi was a baby the white spot on his head was the most obvious marking but it's virtually all faded into curls and the spot on his chest has become more noticeable. He also has little bits of white on his back feet, which I really like.

:D I just flipped him over and noticed for the first time that he has a bit of white on his back feet too!

I am a computer ludite and I need my nephews to help me move photos from one computer to another and reconfigure the file sizes. :( As soon as one visits I'll post a bunch. :eek:

I look forward to seeing more of Rufus :)

Something I do to resize photos is open the photo on the screen and move the window so it shows the size I want it to be, then click Ctrl + PrtScn to print screen the page, then open Microsoft Paint, click Paste and then move it so that I cut off the edges around the image, and then save that as a new image file. Also handy for cropping photos etc. Very old skool, but it can be useful!

He has been scooting his bum along the floor yesterday evening and more this morning. I thought this meant one of two things: worms or anal glands needing to be expressed. However, yesterday we did ask the groomer to trim around his rear end a bit as he had so much hair there and on a few occasions he has had poo stuck and we've had to give him a bath to get it out.

Could it be that it's itchy because it was so closely cut?

Will call the vet tomorrow to check anyway.

I have heard that many groomers will express anal glands if asked? :confused: I think itchy isa good bet though.

Is prt sc. a top row key that also says impr ecr sys rq syst. ? I am on a shared computer and will be sleeping in the (unused) dog house if I accidentally delete all our photos! :eek:

Different keyboards may have slightly different wording on the buttons but here is a labelled diagram that shows where the Print Screen button is (sometimes it just says PrtScn rather than the whole word):

There hadn't been any scooting pre-groom so we wouldn't have thought to ask them to 'express'. It's also less than two weeks since his last worming tablet.

Poor boy with an itchy bottom.

He is starting his first puppy class today. He will look like a very smart boy with his new haircut, however I hope he doesn't spend the whole time scooting along the floor :rolleyes:

When you open Paint it will be a new blank Paint document. So you click Paste or [Ctrl and V] and the image should appear in the new Paint document.

If nothing appears it probably means the Ctrl + PrintScreen hasn't worked properly, so have another go at going back to the photo and pressing and holding Ctrl and then pressing PrintScreen. Then go back to the Paint document and try again with the Paste

Thank you for trying to help! When I open the photo I see no way to control the size? I can make it bigger, A LOT bigger (with with a magnifying glass that says control size) but not smaller. I don't see the little thingies on the edges that you usually drag to make it smaller. :confused:

If I post a photo here that is 6.70 mb what happens?

The window you are viewing the photo in should not be maximised (ie full screen). It is the edges of the viewing window that you change rather than the edge of the photo. I've drawn a red arrow to the button which switches between the photo viewer being full screen or not. You want it to be not, as shown here. Then you can drag the edges of it to make it bigger or smaller, which then makes the photo itself bigger or smaller also

This means when you do the Print Screen the photo is smaller.

Wow this sounds way complicated. Can you not use a website like photo bucket? You can upload to there, edit, then post here using the link they provide!?

Omg I am so dumb! :(
Where pray tell do I find the url? (whatever that is!) When I have emailed photos I can just drag the photo right onto the email.

Photobucket sounds easy but on this computer even youtube is blocked. I think photobucket might not download?

It does doesn't it.

It's one of those things where if it's what you always do it's like bish bash bosh, done. But explaining seems a bit complex.

The reason I find it handy though is because you can size anything to the size it appears on the screen, rather than set sizes which is often the case in other editing things. And if you want to put two photos together for example, like a 'before and after', and with text, you can do that in Paint too. I don't have Photoshop or any other graphics software so this is what I've always done.

Now that Photobucket has come along I'm sure that's set up for this as it's pretty much the main requirement of an online photo album - that you can repost them places without it being massive!

So yeah, have a go with that :)
