  • It Hasn't Been Decided Yet,
    But

    OK, I've drastically revised the first paragraph because when I try to type http:// etc. the underscore shows up as a hyphen and I'm not sure why.  Here's a HYPERLINK for my live journal page.  That ought to work.  Someday, sometime, I might try typing http:// etc and hope it comes out right.  But for now, clicking on HYPERLINK ought to work.

    That's an underscore between twoberry and bob, by the way, not a hyphen.  I just don't like Facebook or WordPress (I do have a WP account under the name twoberry, but the user-friendliness that I need just isn't there, and I don't trust a Xanga move there to make things much better.  However, I haven't completely given up hope that Xanga 2.0 at WP will be bearable, usable, and worth staying.

    But as I said -- before I rewrote the first paragraph, I'm expecting my next regular blog will be at LiveJournal but even that's not as user-friendly as I hoped it would be.  But it's possible that Marsh or one of my other friends can talk me through the rough learning phase.

    Here's my first LJ post:

     

    Reassurance

    That's the title of the painting if you had just painted the scene where Dagmar was getting petted after I had been petting Max for a while.  Reassurance that I love her.  The other dogs, Fritz, YooHoo, and Margie, get their turns as well.

    ******************

    That's it.  But before I dash off to work this morning, I'll add (to this Xanga entry, and maybe later to the LJ entry), a bit of knowledge I gleaned from my five years as a volunteer at the Humane Society.

    If you want a dog to adore you and behave obediently and affectionately and all that other good stuff, all you have to do is massage both ears simultaneously.  Two things are happening.  1.  It feels good to the dog.  And 2.  The dog understands that you are paying attention to him (or her) alone.  The dog loves that.

    Of course, I've got my own five dogs used to me so much that with two on my lap, I can massage the ears of two different dogs at the same time and they both are satisfied.  And with four dogs on my lap, I can go from one pair of dogs to the other pair of dogs back and forth, so that all four are satisfied.

    Fortunately, Yoo-Hoo is so old that she's content just to be in the same room with me.

  • The Tellington/TTouch thing with ears will also work on cats, horses, and probably any other creature with earlobes...lol I've used that for years, it's great.

  • That earlobe thing works on men, too. I know from experience.
    Yes, my doggie loves his ears rubbed!
    I haven't given up hope on Xanga either!
    HUGS!!!

  • I tried to access your link, but as it is typed, it won't work. It shows a hyphen when your post says it should be an underscore between twoberry and bob. It would need correction for it to work. Thanks for the info. on massaging dog ears. I don't have a dog, but my younger daughter & family have 2 dogs now.  ~~Blessings 'n Cheers

  • @DonnaLou - I'm trying to fix the link, but having a lot of trouble, POSSIBLY because I can't get there from the work computer.

    Someday, everything will be as it should be.

  • @DonnaLou - My livejournal account is HERE.  I'll post it again up top in this blog.  Trying to type the actual address http:// etc. etc. is driving me crazy because that stupid underscore keeps showing up as a hyphen.

  • @twoberry - OK, I did the hyperlink & saw your page. Actually, this is happening with other sites, example of which is one of my subs, Evangelist_Guy, It is supposed to be an underline between the two, but on his site at the top, it shows up as a hyphen. ??? :rolleyes:
