Hey, what's happening to the older posts?
- jim 5-14-2003 1:41 am

Theo, I think you're overwriting the old posts. There should be a [post] link at the bottom of your home page that you can use to enter new posts. That way you keep a running history of all your old posts. Sometimes it's interesting for me to go back and see what I wrote a year or two ago.

Here's something else to think about with Pickles, a book on dog behavior -- something that helps you understand why dogs do the things that dogs do.

I can't give a recommendation at the moment, but I have a very good friend who is a vet. She might have some suggestions.

What kind of dog is Pickles?

I was in the kitchen a minute ago and it appears that I have my first Rocheblave mouse, which is a thing I'm not that happy about, I mean having a mouse is not as cool as having a puppy.

Theo, I think we may have hard copy of the first post or two, (1: who you are and 2: your typical school day) but you should read what mark said and then you'll keep a record of ALL your posts.....

OK, I found the old posts in a preview table in the database. Unfortunately the early comments are gone. Not sure exactly what happened.

Hi Theo, Ren's dad here. As an old English teacher I feel I must correct you from the get go & say that all these posts are through your eyes & from your fingertips unless you are like me & type with your knuckles ha hah hahh. O yeah, & all those books about dogs are a waste of time unless of course you intend to read them to Pickles, in which case you could actually be playing with her. Post some puppy pictures as soon as you have them & we will try to post some pictures of our two girls, Sister & Weezer, & Sister's son, Skunk. I've informed Ren that you have a page but he says he's busy right now; I'm sure I'll be taking dictation from him soon enough. Anyway, I'm really glad to see you on the tree & look forward to reading your stuff.

Dogs have their own little language, mostly in the form of body language. It's good to know a few words of "dog".
