Sorry about the loss of your lab last year...that's always a tough one. The feather plucking sounds cute! It amuses us to see our dogs doing what they were supposed to do.
The dog in the pic that I posted has this thing for red lazers...she will froth at the mouth chasing one. Cannot even SAY the words "lazer" or "red dot" in this house. Most dogs out grow chasing the flash light beam etc, but this dog gets serious with lazers moving along the floor or ground.
At Free Republic, we can't post pics unless we have our own web site where they are stored or a 3rd party host site like village photo or something. I'm using an HP (Ofoto) site to upload the pics to, and sometimes the pic just show as a red X.
Village photo is the easiest and should have clear instructions for newbies:

Many thanks for the information. I may need my husband to help me. He is the computer wizard.
I consider sending an email a major achievement.
