Omar Milano Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Paul, I guess it depends on what operating system you use. I use a Mac, so Preview does a nice job of crunching something huge to any acceptable size very quickly. If you use a Mac, open your photo with Preview (usually the default app) and go to Tools > Adjust Size > Fit Into, and select 680 by 480 pixels, and voila! Just save as, and then upload it here. In Windows (I stopped caring after XP, so that's as far as I can recommend), I used Paint, where you can also resize to the desired pixels. By the way, Clover looks like the coolest doggie ever. Very classy girl! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Gilchrist Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Please enlighten me as to my options and also why my photo is still so big even though I thought I'd made it smaller. Thanks, Paul Hey, Paul. The images without dimensions shown are imbedded links to images that live someplace out on the web like yours on Photobucket. They are posted by using the "Insert Image" button above the text entry window. The images that list image size info are uploaded to the servers where the board lives from the member's home computer via the "Attachments and other options" link below the text entry box. I'll bet the reason your re-sizing hasn't worked is you have only been changing the preview image posted on Photobucket, not the size of the actual file it links to. Happy New Year!

TimPitot Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Snapped this pic of Bubble enjoying an episode of Cesar Millan, the concentration is intense. [img alt=photo width=640 height=333] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPitot Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 This guy is certainly not a pet, but he is an occasional visitor to our garden, I snapped this pic last summer of Mr Fox chilling in a shady spot. He is quite a good looking guy, normally the central London foxes look a bit ragged and covered in bin juice.

Jan McL Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 One regret I have -- as a happily single person in the film business -- is that it seems a disservice to any living beastie to have one as a pet. That said, here's an image my favorite relatively new 'pet': sourdough starter from a friend. -- Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Goodman Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I see that most people have Kitties. My kids are fond of small animals and are rat fanciers. Here's a clip I helped them with showing off the talents of their pets. Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanignacio Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The black Lab is Onyx, show here at about 8 months old. She is now a little over a year old and about 70 lbs. The red dog is our beloved Baltimore retriever Sierra, who will be 9 years old in February. The cat is Frieda, a tamed feral, who is probably 16 or so by now. Best regards, Jim First of all, this is the greatest thread ever. Second, Jim your dog Sierra looks a lot like my dog Beans who is a straight North Philadelphia pound puppy.

Jim Gilchrist Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 First of all, this is the greatest thread ever. Second, Jim your dog Sierra looks a lot like my dog Beans who is a straight North Philadelphia pound puppy. Yeah, Sierra's 100% pound puppy as well and we adopted her from Washington Animal Rescue League while I was working on a fundraising show for them. She came from the Baltimore pound, WARL picked her up from them the day she was due to be put down. A doubly lucky puppy, she contracted parvo along the way there and thanks to WARL's great hospital complete with isolation facilities, Sierra recovered after a long stay in the hospital. When we brought her home at about 5 1/2 to 6 months she only weighed 12 lbs. or so, in the picture below. Today, she's a happy and healthy 74 lbs. at about 9 years old. By comparison, our Lab puppy Onyx was about 22 lbs. at 6 months and now is close to the same size as Sierra, at 70 or so and 15 months. My friend Nancy, a stylist from Baltimore, christened Sierra a "Baltimore Retriever" in honor of her early life there.

Doug Osborn Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ran across an old photo of my two daughters (left and center) and a family friend holding a 9-foot long female Burmese Python named Trinity. My friend, Tommy, rescued Trinity from an owner who was extremely negligent in caring for her and did a remarkable job nursing her back to health. The day this photo was taken Tommy had dropped by to show my girls two of his pythons. We let Trinity stretch out on our front yard for about an hour and bask in the sun. I didn't know that many cars could screech to a halt in a 20 mph zone! Our current reptile line up includes three color-morphed Corn Snakes and three Bearded Dragons. At the top of the food chain is our 14 year old Golden Retriever, Logger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Clark Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Love this thread. I need to look through my photos more to find all my pets, but here's my main man "Chong", my Vampire Kitty, no longer with us. If he was, he'd capitalize on this whole Vamp craze!

JDirckze Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Thought I might revive this thread with a picture of my new little mate... She's been settling in to her new home and getting used to all the attention. Very awesome pet if you don't have enough space for a cat or dog.

TimPitot Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Birds are well under-rated as pets imo, I love em! Whats her name? The thing that struck me on my 1st trip to Aus was the fantastic bird life you guys have, trees full of Parakeets, Kookaburras etc etc. Awesome. Here is another gratuitous picture of my cat: [img alt=photo width=640 height=426] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDirckze Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Birds are well under-rated as pets imo, I love em! Whats her name? The thing that struck me on my 1st trip to Aus was the fantastic bird life you guys have, trees full of Parakeets, Kookaburras etc etc. Awesome. Finally decided on 'Button' as her name. We've had her for 2 weeks and she's only just been named. We are very lucky over here, our native birds are absolutely gorgeous. You guys in the UK have better looking Magpies though, and more Owls, and you guys in the US have those gorgeous Cardinals flying around.
