I have some pictures of Isis on my phone, but for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to transfer them to my pc, and then to an image site.

I’ve got it plugged into the pc on usb right now, but the pictures don’t show up in any folder;/

So I am researching to see if I need some app to do this, but I’m pretty thickheaded about these things.

As far as the cone goes, when my previous Shepherd aged past 12, he began to have some skin sensitivity near his tail, and from time to time he would chew himself bloody.
It was bad.

I tried everything I could think of, but in the end he would always find a way to sneak away for 5 minutes and just ravage himself.

I saw this product on amazon called Comfy Cone, which even though I really hate cones, seemed like it would help. It has padding all the way around in, it’s soft yet fairly rigid, and basically when they lay down it functions as a pillow for them.

It boiled down to trying to make the best of a bad situation. Even though it was frustrating when this happened, I loved this dog more than my own life, so had to find a way to deal with it.

He did spend a good amount of time in his last 1.5 years or so in this cone, but had to do it for his own protection.

The last 6 months of his life he began to suffer seizures as a result of suspected brain cancer. He had to go onto phenobarbitol, which caused him to be incredibly stoned for lack of a better word. he then had balance issues, so the cone could no longer be used in case it would cause him to fall and get hurt.

Thankfully though, during his final time on phenobards, he no longer chewed himself, so his last 4 months or so was precious good time that God gave us with this wonderful animal before he had to go home.

As far as the pictures on your phone goes, Im guessing you have an Android Phone(Correct me if Im wrong) I have an Android phone too, an old Samsung Galaxy S, and yes its really tricky to find the pics on your phone when you connect it via USB..what I would do is when the folder opens up, just click each one and see if the pictures appear..they are usually called DRM
If you want you can PM me your email address and I can send you some adorable pics of our boys.
I will look up the comfy cone on Amazon if all else fails Nemo might have to wear it just feel bad for him. He has a pinched nerve, dont know if its common in Poms, but this morning he went outside to do his business and he kept on looking back at jumping(He doesn’t know the source of the pinch so he thinks something is biting him) so he kept on twirling and twirling til it stopped then he went #2..feel bad for him..the meds would help but with Nemo who knows how his tummy would react he’s not your regular typical pooch.
What happened with your Shepherd breaks my heart..I hate hearing about dogs getting cancer, just so sad..I guess everything humans can get, so do dogs :(
