(I wonder if internet people that wander into the tripawd boards by mistake think that 3 legged dog people are having too much fun!)
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
🙂 Now the newbies will know who's who around here around here. Havin' fun is what it's all about!

Yes you are, handsome guy!
And here's little something to MAKE your pawrents appreciate you even more. A video of a crazy, nutty shep boy!
(you can roll thru the 1st minute to get to the good stuff)
Now, magnify that behavour by 100 and that is what you have in public! Double that (and add screaming like a 6 year little girl) and then you have what it was like when he saw people, kids or dogs!

Awwww, too sweet.
Rugby can't pawsibly be as loud and obnoxious as ME! But it sure would have been fun to have a bark-off to find out. What a fine dawg.
Comet, pink is definitely your color.

Wyatt Ray I'm sure your pawrents will be happy to know that BUGby was 7 years old in that video! The older he got, the more animated he got! What fun they have to look forward to with you!
Here's a little funny story about the Rugster when he was about 6 months old:
Rugby had just come to live with us, Comet and Snooker (a sweet 12 year old black chow) when poor Snooker tore her cruciate ligament. Snooker sadly died unexpectedly after the surgery. We were all so sad and a big funeral at the pet cemetery was in order. The funeral was lovely. A florist made a beautiful large floral wreath in the shape of a dog bone with a "Snooker" ribbon. Snooker was placed in a little chapel on a small, short gurney with a fresh flower laying beside her. Comet visited and was shaking from sadness (they had been pals for a couple of years). When Rugby visited her, he jumped on the gurney and snatched the fresh flower! (after all, she didn't look like she would be needing it!)
Then it was time to bury Snooker in her little grave. As they slowly lowered her in, Rugby tried to jump in with her and was laughing about it! It looked like fun! ("Hey Snooker, where ya going?!!!)
The moral of the story...funerals should be fun!

Comet, that is a GREAT story! Hahaha! I know Rugby and I would've been best buds.
My Mom says that she really likes your Mom's sense of humor! She says she aspires to it, especially now that you've informed her that I have several more years of acting like a crazy puppy!

No, young Wyatt. Comet says you will become FAR more crazy when you become an adult. Something for you and your pawrents to look forward to for sure!!!
So, Wyatt Ray Dawg. What exactly is wrong with having 758 PM? I did my best to delete them all, without deleting all of them, but only got down to 514, although it only looks like 10 or 15. (Note to tripawds: If you need to reach Tazzie, send your real-time email address, since he has been cut off from PM for the foreseeable time being, but seems able to receive, but not to transmit. Or, head to 'chat'.)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 
I had to delete your email because I was at 17!
Now we know where all the bandwith is!
Wyatt Ray - Methinks your mom and dad has a pretty good sense of humor, too! Better yet, they are good sports!

You really don't want to get me started ... clearing out your sentbox may be a big help to getting your PMs under contril, not to mention help reduce overhead in the database. Thanks!

aha! I knew you'd help me. The outbox. Didn't think of that one. Will get right on it, WRD.

Okie dokie, WRD. Tripawds can breathe easier now, although I'm not quite within range of using PM (but nearly). I bet you are glad I didn't eat up valuable bandwidth by blogging!
I'm feeling much better, I didn't have nearly that many PM's to clear out. I'm now in compliance 🙂

Why not? 
You know, there is proffessional help available for compulsive hoarding. 
But Seriously, once messages are sent and/or PM conversations are completed they should be deleted to reduce unnecessary overhead in the database. Is establishing a limit really too much to ask? With over 1200 registered users now, every little bit adds up.
We just increased the maximum Inbox size to 25 messages. This maximum is compiled from all messages in both a user's Inbox and Sentbox. The size/length of individual messages does not matter, only the accumulative total. Hope this helps.
