Hi, I'm new here!!

Ok update on the name.......we decided to call her Maggie.  After visiting with ehr again this weekend, the name fits.  She is such a sweetheart.  She is smaller now than her brothers and she seems a bit more shy as well.  She wants to play, but she is not as rambunctious has the others.  We get to take them both hom on May 19.  So excited.  I will post more pictures of them later today.

Hi Ellie,

You are right, she does look like your baby!  Everytime I see her she gets a little bit lighter in color.  Such a pretty color though.  Her brother who my mon is adopting is Black and Tan....I definitely plan on posting more pics soon...:-)

I really like the name. It is a fitting name for a Shorkie. How old is your baby now? When Gracie was a baby she had the black saddle of a Yorkie. It grew out as she got older. At one point she had blonde roots. She is now a beautiful long haired blonde all over. I tried to attach a picture of her here but it won't let me. It keeps saying it is too big. I'll have to figure out how things work here I guess.
Best to you and your new baby
Ellie

Almost all of my photos are too big too, and I can never figure out how to shrink them.

Thanks for the link I'm sure it will help some with their photos.

The photo of your Shorkie is soooo cute.

Thanks so much.  I am going to try it tonight on my desk top.  I am on the lap top right now, and the pics are not loaded on here.

I have been trying to re-size my photo but it still is not accepting my picture. Very frustrating besides this site seems to be so slow.. I have tried for too long to get my photo small enough but I can't get it down to 128KB. Can you tell me how to do it?
Your baby is gorgeous. I love how fluffy she is.

OK, I could not get this picture to the size I wanted it to be. I got it either too big or too small. I hope you can see it. This is Gracie at about 3 1/2 months.
The bottom picture is at 6 months after her first hair cut. I don't know if I like the shaved face look but at least I can see her eyes better.

Here is my girl at 8 months. She has changed so much. She is now 95% blonde and has fine silky hair. At 11 months she has finally gotten over the 4 pound mark. I'm sure she would weigh more if she was not such a picky eater. It looks like your baby is going to have a nice thick coat like a Shih Tzu.

Wow Ellie, our babies look so much alike at that age...same coloring and all.  I am excited now to see if she will turn blonde as well.   

Hmm...don't know why you are having problems with the website.  I have used it often and never experienced it being slow, maybe it was just a fluke!  I hope you get it to work for you better!

Love the pictures, your baby is so beautiful!!

[ellietoo]

It's not the web site that is the problem it was just my inability to know how small would be small enough. After I started using their drpic.com it became much easier. Thanks for the info.
This photo is a couple of months ago after a homemade grooming session. She is pouting quite a  bit here. Does not like me doing the trimming.

[junip1977]

Heehee...it's ok, I'm glad you got it to work for you!  Love seeing all the pictures!

[Mai Tai]

LOL, that is exactly how she looks, like she is pouting.  Very cute.

She is gorgeous, as a baby she looks a lot like Ava, Ava is l3 weeks old and now weighs 3lb.3 ounces we were at the vet today for a first visit.
