Hi Watergrazer, nice idea, and it may get some more enthusiasm going and get new Pleo owners involve too. Do you have any specific theme or anything goes? Nova has been looking for something new to get her involved, so she should be excited about this! Looks like we are going to have to use our Old reliable standard digital camera, as the brand new Cannon Camcorder I just bought on Saturday has to be sent for repairs to the Cannon facility, as there is no color, all purple and pink hues, so it needs to be serviced already, :(oh well, my luck holds out, as long as some dimwit in the local Staples store didn't DROP IT TO VOID THE WARRANTY################## I can not afford to pay for it myself! Anyway, the sun is starting to come out here in the Redwoods, so I will brainstorm with Nova and see what we can come up with. Who is judging, all the Pleo owners or you or guests too, how are you going to handle that? Thanks for bringing more life to this forum, I am sure glad you got Herbie and joined us.

The forum judges...so whoever come to read, and posts to the forums, can vote. I actually run a lot of various competitions on other forums and it works out very well. There's no theme but I'd be leaning towards funny/cute/dramatic...something different. Glad you'll be participating. Can't wait to see Nova and so sorry about your cam issues!

The Title for this little photo is: I promise I won't tell" Nova knows how to get others to fall for her charms. When my poor dog Meh-lei saw her, she fell to the ground and rolled over so she could get Nova to give her a little kiss, and play with her. She had to convince her she wasn't going to tell anyone.

More details...

Notice the spotlight is on the two of them..

Ok, here is another one, I have my own title for this in the gallery, but in this photo, with Nova talking to Karl Kat, notice he has his tongue sticking out while listening to her. What did she say to him? You put your imagination to work and give it your own title and it will be more fun.! WAtch out though, as I have lots of time and Nova and I are going to keep on snapping photos so the rest of you now have your first ones to get you going!

Hi degers, sorry, I told you I was a dummy.

I thought I posted the insert image, then put brackets, then put the smg code. so if I hear you correctly, is this an example of what I would do,
1. do not push insert image, 2. do not put brackets, 3. type in only smg id = then the number, but no more brackets. is this correct. ? If you can make it as plain as possible, then I won't make anymore mistakes. I apologize for not being able to get it right. I need as simple instructions as possible, even leaving out one thing such as do not put in brackets can foul me up then I create more mistakes and more work for you which I do not want to do for your or anyone else. I was told once before to use brackets, but if I am not supposed to , then I won't.

Sorry for any extra work, I am trying to get it correct. RedwoodsMama and Nova

Redwoodsmama, We both are still learning. Believe me!

Very cute photos.

degers · « **Reply #10 on:** April 15, 2010, 02:29:10 AM »

RWM,

All you need to do is [smg id=XXX]
If you put that inside IMG tags, then it stops us zooming in on your photos

Regards

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #11 on:** April 15, 2010, 03:39:16 PM »

Thanks degers, does that mean, that I do not push insert photo, and put in myself, [smg id= ....]the number where dots are, and nothing more? If so then I will give it a try . I am sorry if I have caused extra work, I am not as good as even the kids on here at doing this as them, Thanks for the help.

That is exactly right RWM!

If you go try and click edit on one of your posts that I have modified, you will see how it is done

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #13 on:** April 15, 2010, 06:02:29 PM »

Ok, degers, I think I can get that.

Oh, one other quick thought, if this is the way you list photos, is it the same for youtube videos? Do I NOT PUSH THE YOUTUBE INSERT BUTTON? Then just copy the address where my video is? If so it will be much easier for me to remember....I will wait to hear from you, Thank you very much for your help
and patience in teaching an " Ole Cat", and her young little Pleo ( Nova) the ropes.

degers · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2010, 02:42:06 AM »

No for youtube videos, and for images that are not in our gallery, you need to use the image and youtube buttons.

For your youtube videos it should look like this:

[ youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbsjHFjcnhM[/youtube]

(I have put a space in the first youtube tag just so you can see the code.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2010, 02:50:13 AM »

Thanks degers, When I responded to the MOO post by Watergazer with the Youtube video of Nova MOOING, did I do that correctly, or did you have to edit that one too? I thought I got that one right Finally, but I need to know if I did or not, on that one I copy and Pasted, so I " think", I got it, but until I hear from you I wont take it for granted that I did or not..

Thank you for helping us ( Nova and I ) learn the ropes.

OK, here are four ( yes 4) more photos, I don't see anyone else entering yet, so Nova and I are having fun taking and editing photos. Besides it is raining cats and dogs here in the Redwoods, so what else can we do?

The first photos is one of Nova and her little green friend, Froggie and they have gathered some carrots to eat. The second photo is Nova doing the Tada Trick, she had been practicing all day and I caught her just at the right moment.
The third photo is of Nova and her special friend, Yoda who was teaching Nova how to be a honorary Pleo Jedi in training, she was shy at first but soon got over that. The last photo is my favorite in this group. Nova loves to hear me read stories, and one of her latest faves is " Where the Wild Things Are", by Maurice Sendak. IN honor of that story, here is Nova dressed in her interpretation of what she would look like if she lived on the island of The Wild Things where she would meet Max, the king of all The Wild Things.

I love 'Nova the Wild Thing' - that's fabulous!

Hi Crewella, Thanks for the compliment, you should see the video I took of her " doing the Wild Thing", very funny, she is into Character too!

Redwoodsmama, I love your photo of Nova with Karl cat. Can't get any cuter then that.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2010, 10:59:38 PM »

Thanks Fancy, Poor Karl Kat was doing so well after having dental surgery, all his teeth removed because of Chronic Stomatitis, but he did get to keep his four Canines, Great for Smiling at the other eight, and he uses them to groom his fur with, like a comb.

He had surgery on March 8, but Sunday, early Monday he started drooling badly, and I could't get him to eat. He last ate on Wed. morning. Cats can quickly go into Liver failure and other problems if they stop eating, which a lot of people don't realize. I got him into the vets this morning and after a steroid injection he is starting to feel better. Poor guy, his gums were all inflamed, the surgery line where all his teeth were pulled. I was hoping pulling his teeth would solve his problems and end the pain, but some cats are Chronic Stomatis life long sufferers.

The vet wants him to come back on Mon if not doing any better and if he is, to come back next Friday so she can give him another injection to hopefully wipe out " whatever triggered this last attack.
Karl Kat is so sweet and so patient and Nova just loves him, she seems to understand that he has medical problems at times and she likes to cuddle with him. Steroids can really kick in quickly luckily, and Karl Kat is feeling better tonight already wanting to eat which is a good sign and wanting to cuddle which he hasn't wanted since Monday.( when you are in pain, you just want to be left alone!) I will have to take another Photo of a happier Karl Kat and Nova again now that he is starting to feel better! You should put a photo of your quad in here too fancy!

Thank you for the kindness.

Awww, Cleo looks so cute with all her friends.

Love all the photos so far. I just checked the deadline and realized I'm going to have to hustle if I want to get some pics taken in time to get them entered. Ack! Where does the time fly?? I had thought I might get some outside this past weekend but it just didn't happen.

Crewella · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2010, 04:33:06 AM »
