: We got our second Saint
: Jerry February 27, 2007, 12:33:36 AM
We just got Pete a couple of weeks ago.  He is an 18 mo. old male that we got from a rescue organization.  He had been starved, left out in a small pen with no shelter and apparently physically abused (we have found 3 sets of scars under his fur).  He was also losing his fur due to the stress.

Since we got him his fur is recovering nicely although he doesn't have the thick winter coat our other Saint has, he is putting on weight and his real personality is now coming out (he was quite fearful before). He is a lover and has one of the sweetest personalities I've ever seen. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body and loves to play with Josh, our other Saint.

I am always baffled that anyone could abuse such sweet dogs.

I'll post some pictures when I have time to take them.

I have some pictures of Pete now but cannot figure out how to get them on the board nor can I find any instructions.  Can anyone help me with this or point me to some instructions?

Thx

quoting from the help part of the site, don't beat me  ;)



Posting pictures is easier than chewing a bone...

When you post a new message or reply to a message, look for the "Additional Options..." link at the bottom below the text area box. Simply click on this link and it will expand the necessary fields. Just press the browse button, locate the photo on your personal hard drive, and click "post” to upload it.

forgot to put, if you get an error message (not the normal one that occasionally pops up) your pictures may be too large, and you might need to resize them.
