I'm always glad to see that a photographer I used, one that did an amazing job a year ago, is rising to great fame! Cecilia is the best!

Ok, it appears that if your spouse or one of your friends on your list (not quite sure on that friend thing yet) has made their profile unsearchable to "Everyone", then the person who sent you the message and you replied to can't see them.

Ok, then I'll take the fall with this one and please accept my sincere apology, I just read things the wrong way. Quote: Originally Posted by JulieG I am guessing you are usually giving tone to people and that is why you assumed tone first instead of the fact that I wanted to help you out.

Try not to ruin that for people by just assuming everyone is trying to be bitchy instead of meaning what they say. Hey, it goes both ways. I assumed your TONE and you assumed my APOLOGY wasn't sincere enough. We're both at fault for that, so please don't act like I'm going out of my way to ruin this board. That's never been my intent and that's not my reputation. You don't like to be called out on things and I as well, so let's do each other both a favor and just let this one slide.

So let me get this straight, you think I was trying to start a fight with you for no reason at all? The fact is, I took the following the wrong way... "You can block your friends list! I am not sure if you figure this out already or not, but you CAN do it." You didn't leave any emotions in there for me to think otherwise. The exclamation mark and bold CAN just turned me off. So I'm sorry you feel like I'm being an ass, I apologized if you're claiming there wasn't a condescending tone. I don't have time to fight with you, so let's not go there. What else do you want from me? I think this has been blown way out or proportion. I'm adult enough to apologize and mean it, can you do the same?

Quote: Originally Posted by JulieG LAMO, I am not sure you are really sorry, but I'll take it. lol Like I said, I thought I sensed a tone, a condescending tone but if you're telling me that wasn't the case, then I truly am sorry. EDIT: I'm not here to start fights, just be myself and be respectful to others. I'll accept my faults and be accountable for them when they occur. Anyway, let's resume the Threads Topic.... I found it a little odd that if you responded to someone, regardless of your profile security, that it would show your spouse and your whole friends list. I would think Facebook would give you the option to do this but perhaps they figure if someone you don't know is trying to contact you, you should be able to see all the necessary details about them.

Quote: Originally Posted by JulieG Oh Carly I misunderstood, I was talking about making your friend list, etc.. private. But what you said is true, if you reply to them they do have access to your limited profile for a while, not your full profile though. You mean, what I said is true. Next time just take what I say at face value. Again, if you reply to someone, or simply send them a message, they can see your basic information, who you're married to, friends list, pretty much the works except all your photos. And yes, I figured out how to block my friends list already thank you very much.

Quote: Originally Posted by Sammygurlj They can't see anything that other people wouldn't see. Also, you can add them to your limited profile list if you wish. Yeah they can, I've tested it with another profile. They can see a lot of your basic information, who you're married to, what pages you're a fan of, etc. What's a limited profile list?

I just found an interesting fact about Facebook today. Apparently when you send someone who isn't a friend a message, or if they send one and you happen to respond, they can see your profile for 30 days....no matter what your privacy settings are setup for.

Thanks again you guys, I'm glad you liked the photos!

Now if only she could reply back to my emails. I emailed her a couple of times over a week ago and then again a few days ago but haven't gotten a response from her Did you have to wait a lot for her response? I'm glad you liked them. I'm sure Cecilia will get back to you, she's probably just busy with all the referrals I send to her!

Ok you two, I sent you both private messages with the link and the login information. Thanks

No problem, I'll throw them back up tomorrow. Standby for the link....

I am also getting married at ERC on 4/23/10 and I was wondering how much Veronica charged to have an outside photographer come in for the wedding? Oh crap, I just barely saw this. Did you find out the charge?

I'm starting to do some planning for a mid-late summer trip to Europe for this upcoming summer. I was thinking of flying to London, take the Chunnel to Paris and then get my ass down to Zermatt somehow. Has anyone on this board been to Zermatt and if so, is it worth the out of the way trip to get there? I've always wanted to see the Matterhorn in person and with photos like below, how could you blame me?

AWESOME INFORMATIVE POST, THANK YOU! Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Hello fellow Doxie owner!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Dachshunds - be prepared to become addicted! LOL We have a 3 year old male red short-haired Dachshund named Ollie and he is the light of our lives (obviously seriously spoiled!) you've gotten a lot of good advice, but I want to make sure you know the NUMBER ONE thing about these little guys is WATCHING THEIR BACKS! We're talking, a $2-3k surgery with a possible lifetime in a wheelchair if you do not! Serious stuff. Like someone else said - NO jumping. Also walking up and down (mostly down puts pressure on their spines) the stairs can be tough on them, though our little guy does it like a champ. Make sure you watch his food intake! Doxies will just keep eating and eating and eating... you've got to set limits. What we learned to do was set up 2 feeding times - 1 in the AM, 1 in the PM. Set your kitchen (microwave) timer for 15 minutes, and after that take up BOTH his food & water. This is key in potty training! Dogs will not let themselves starve, so even if he is finicky about this he will learn. Do yourself a favor and stick to this rule because it's true - Dachshunds are stubborn so you have to show them who's boss! I know, that's what scares me. They say to always watch a puppy when he's out of his crate but seriously, Lewis is a hard puppy to watch ALL THE TIME. When he's on the couch snuggling with us, sometimes he'll get a little restless and want to get down, so he'll hope out of our arms really quite, let out a little bark and then hop off the couch like he's Wonder Dog! LOL He also runs up the stairs all the time. So with their backs, do you have to just watch them when they're jumping off things like the couch or even when they're jumping up, like hoping up the stairs? As you can imagine he's full of energy! Thanks for the recommendation on setting up a meal schedule because we've been a little confused on how we should go about it. So far we've let him eat whenever he's hungry outside of his crate. He knows where his food is, so he gets water or foot at any point. Should I take his water away from him outside of those meal times too? Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne We paid for a pro trainer to come to our house once a week for 10 weeks, and totally whipped Ollie into shape! LOL he is seriously the BEST dog ever now! So don't let people tell you that they have poor personalities - Ollie is super happy-go-lucky, and very well trained. How much did the trainer set you back? Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Oh, and they *love* to burrow. Blankets will become his new best friends if you let him ;-) We've noticed this as well! Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Doesn't matter that they're AKC registered - we got Ollie from a shelter we volunteered at and he has been healthy as a horse! We really limit his food though (1/4 cup 2x/day) and don't let him jump up on things. Holy crap, 1/4 cup twice daily doesn't sound right. Our little guy is only 10 weeks old now and he's as skinny as they come. Surely the food intake for a puppy has to be different than a full grown dog, right?

Just curious, what's the most consecutive hours a puppy of 10 weeks should be in a crate?

Quote: Originally Posted by Virg Turns out my FI has the soundtrack, and he bought it on Amazon, says he got it within a week! Hopefully it is still available there! I know, new ones cost $100+ on Amazon.com. Let me private message you.

Does anybody own a copy of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story Soundtrack I want to know if it's possible for me to get/buy a digital copy of it.

Do puppies typically whine when they have to go pee? He whines and barks whenever we put him in there. Also, he acts so hyper and jumpy when he gets out? I wonder if that's because he's so excited to get out or if he wants to play...possibly both.

Quote: Originally Posted by DanielleNDerek there will be a lot of whining with the crate. One thing that did help was we moved the crate into our bedroom so the dog could see us and now we were there. And he's a very young puppy he will not be able to hold his pee in all night. Your going to have to get up in the middle night (like 3 am-ish) to let him out to pee. Yep, we got up with him several times last night. I thought about putting his crate in our room but what happens if we don't want his crate permanently in our room, at what point would we move it to where we want it to be?

Now that we've introduced him into our family, I've noticed a few things that have caught my eye so far. A little history on the situation....he was the last of 2 puppies and they were apparently "pee pad" training them instead of crate training them. They apparently slept in a little bed in a bathroom with little "pee pads" around for them to urinate on at night, so his new crate probably has him a little mixed up. Upstairs we have 3 bedrooms.....1 master, the kids bedroom and then a guest. We put Lewis' crate in the guest bedroom for his first night but when you put him in there, he whines and whines. Last night we could throw little squeaky toys in there and he's run in and get them but now he doesn't want to go in there. I think he associates the crate with him being abandoned or left alone (something he really hates right now) since nobody else sleeps in that room. So any suggestions? Should we possibly move his crate into a higher traffic area?

Well everyone, last night my family and I went and picked up our new little mini Dachshund runt puppy that's 7 weeks old. After talking about possible names for the past few months I came up with Lewis in a conversation and it's stuck ever since then. So here's the first photos we've taken of our new little cut puppy Lewis! I swear he's the cutest puppy I've ever seen face to face. He's so cute when you play catch with his squeaky toy too.

Certain breeds have certain health problems, I'm not quite sure if dachshunds are notorious for a certain issue, but make sure you check. If so, make sure the breeder you use runs tests and find out all the background information on that breeder. Make sure you get him fixed as soon as he drops, his little woobles that is! The last thing you want is to find him humping your friends legs as they walk in the house! It will also calm them down a bit. AKC papers aren't always needed. They just show the family tree, ect. If you aren't planning on showing him or breeding they REALLY aren't needed. However if you go to a good breeder and they have show dogs, they will make the proper check in the box if you can breed or not based on the dogs standards. If they check the box where he's not breedable, you won't be able to register any puppies sired by your dog. If he's a possible show dog, then that's different. And alot more money. Crate training is the way to go. Just don't be a softy! If the puppy isn't being watched, make sure he's crated. Make sure he has plenty of chew toys so he doesn't decide your furniture or shoes look good. Seems like you are doing plenty of research on your own, which is good. Make sure to ask as many questions as possible to the breeder. GL!! How do you tell they're a legit breeder? They told me that these two little pups that I'm going to look at tonight aren't AKC registered but we can always get them registered in the future. Like you said though, it's really not that important to have that. Are there anymore good questions I could ask? One thing she did say is that they're feeding them Iams Small Breed Puppy Food. I guess it might be the following!?! Iams Smart Puppy Small Breed Formula Dry Dog Food - New Puppy Center - Dog - PetSmart Also, with the night time temperature here in Utah still getting down to the low 30's in the middle of the night, would you recommend putting some little sweaters or shirts on him since he's a little Dachshund pup without a lot of hair?

Quote: Originally Posted by trance_angelx0x A kong is a toy, you stuff treats in it. They have many shapes and sizes now at the pet stores.

Ahh, the many new things I'm going to learn as a new dog owner! =) Quote: Originally Posted by TammyB OK I have so much to say about getting a dog. BUT I'll keep it short. lol First and foremost, PLEASE do your research and if you choose to get a puppy from a breeder, please make sure they are from a QUALITY breeder, not a back yard breeder. Have you considered a rescue dog? Dachshund's are very stubborn, and hard to train because of it. Also you have to be extremly careful not to over feed the breed as it can cause alot of problems with their back. Also one bad trait is that they tend to be a barky dog. As far as crate training, yes thats a great idea. Puppy pads are not a bad thing, Dachaunds are big babies in the cold so maybe that's why the paper trained. Just slowly move the puppy pad to the door and eventually bring the pad outside. It should do the trick. You sound like you have personal experience with them. Do you have a Dachshund Tammy?
