    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Well, the little pup I've been bottle feeding since birth has reached her 10-day old mark, and now weighs 9.4 oz., which is up from 5.1 oz. a week ago! Her eyes aren't open yet, but that will happen any day now. She is now on an every 4-hour feeding schedule, which at least gives me an extra hour to sleep between feedings. Here are a few shots of her after her belly got full, and one of her father:

She's precious Marcia! So tiny!! But such a fat tummy :) You are doing a great job with her. And Dad is so handsome too!
 
That's a nice looking pup you got there Marcia. You have done a fantastic job raising her. Dad is handsome, I always had a thing for the black schnauzers. How are you feeling? Any better from the last time?
 
Great job Marcia. The little one looks great, your doing a fine job, keep up the good work. And Dad looks Great as well.
 
Awww...she's simply adorable!!!!

Sometimes bottle babies can get a bit behind "normal" babies when they are quite young, but it looks like she's very fat and growing like a weed!! You're doing a great job with her, Marcia. :)
 
So adorable! Is that a little milk mustache I see?

Yup! I tried to wipe it off before the pic... good eye!

Thanks everyone. Your encouragement and good thoughts are appreciated. This little pup is going to be a very well-adjusted little dog... she already has no problem sleeping on her back! She is kept by herself, and seems to be content just to cruise around her little tub and rarely even cries. I can hardly wait for her to open her eyes so she won't look so much like a little guinea pig, LOL! Now all I have to do is convince my husband that we need three dogs.
