Hi there, and WELCOME!

To post pictures, just click on the photo gallery link and upload your pictures as you would if you were attaching something to email. Then, when you post on the boards you can select pictures from your gallery to include in your posts. It really sounds more complicated than it is.

You will be pleased to learn that our new and improved boards are almost ready and have a lot of features you liked with the VIN boards, such as signature blocks, preferences, search and find functions, and now even smileys.

Hope to see your pupsters on the boards soon!

:Hi all,
:I've just joined this forum. I was on the old PetVIN boards a few years back, but got disconnected by a change in computers, a change in residence and a change in life. Finally managed to make my way back today (and still trying to figure out the changes... the old boards were more familiar and user-friendly to me).
:Anyhow, I'm Kim. I live in Virginia with four Boxers... thirteen year old Rosie, who taught me to love Boxers; five year old Bay, who is my heart dog; two year old Teacher, my first male dog... solid white, sweet as can be, and deaf as a stone; and my new baby girl Bliss, fourteen weeks old.
:Bliss was an amazing gift to me. I am a Dog Training Instructor at Petsmart. At our store, we have a Well Pet vaccine clinic twice a week, offering affordable vaccines w/o office visit fees. For several months, the vet who runs this clinic has been on a personal mission to find me a Boxer puppy to raise IN my training program... a "demo" dog to grow up in the store and in my classes. On December 8, 2002, she presented me with a tiny eight week old Boxer girl.
:I named her Bliss because she represents a new chapter in my life. I've only been a dog trainer for a year, but it is my passion and my joy... it's what gets me out of bed every morning. I have found 'my bliss', and now I have a new puppy to walk with me into this new life.
:Bay and Teacher work with me too... Bay is my first purely clicker trained dog. Teacher, OTOH, is my proof that it's possible to raise a well mannered dog using strictly positive reinforcement (I could not tell him NO, because he could not hear... I was not willing to do anything worse to teach him 'the rules').
:Bay, Teacher and Bliss are "Team Boxer", and the three of them do a LOT to encourage people to TRAIN THEIR DOGS.

:Rosie has a very important job too. When the youngsters and I come home at the end of the day, we really look forward to just vegging out on the couch together. But if not for sweet old Rose, that couch could just fly away while we're gone. Her job is to hold it down. She's very good at it!

:I'd love to show you some pix of my dogs, but I don't know how to do it with this new configuration. The old VIN boards were easy...
:anybody know how to post pix?
