THe gallery here at Chazhound - Page 4

I am not cranky about any of it. I saw a sweet photo and thought i would share. The forum was slow and i was looking for something interesting. I thought possibly there were people out there that might like to see or share ones that they like. I was interested to see theres if they wished to share. IF your not one of those, then fine for you. ANd fine for me. I started this thread to do something light and pleasant. Something that i found enjoyable. IF you do not find it enjoyable it is a big forum, you can go look at your pics with your narrative groovy. I don't need a narrative, to see a lovely dog and enjoy seeing them grow up. I do enjoy the pics here. in this section. I also enjoy seeing them in the gallery and feel that a lot of people miss out on a good opportunity.

Last night i went back and visited photos of members i cared a great deal about that for one reason or another are not here with us anymore. I like remembering them. THe gallery gives me that opportunity because i saved their pics in "my favorites".

Scob brought up an excellent point that i was not aware of. He put forth some helpful constructive criticism about what could be changed to improve. SInce i am doing a sculpture of his dog this winter it would be easier for me if i could just go to his gallery then to have to sort through pms and find old threads. I find my gallery helpful for the same reason, it is a quick and easy access.

ANother person brought up the fact that they didn't like the scoring, i don't really either. SO bringing that up may be helpful to those that run the forum.

YOu state...i do not like to look at dogs that i do not have a story with. Ok .Good for you. DOn't look. I didn't make the thread for you if that is the case. BUt i will bet there is at least one person that did smile when they saw Katkooka and the poodle (those expressions will have to show up in my work somewhere..they look like they are sneaking into the circus), or Sweet Pea or those beyond gorgous puppies. I found out some kinks that were making the gallery hard to use. SO that makes this a successful thread, even if it does nothing for you. THat was my only intention.

Why it is necessary for you to make this personal is beyond me. I do not call you cranky, nor send hateful pms. IT is a rediculous thing to drag over the coals.

Remember these, Smkie? http://www.chazhound.com/pictures/sh...puser=190&sl=t

I looked for Torizmojo and didn't find her pictures either. Even ran a search on her posts and although the stats say 23, got only 1.

THats a huge loss, i can still see them in my mind. I think their gallery was my up most favorite of all. Guess i will feel lucky that i got to see them at all. Mojo's head resting on the baby, all the dogs lined up, the little girl signing to the deaf dane was priceless.

I tried searching, i even went back and viewed old pages where i thought they might be. sighs.

I saw Toby's last night and wondered how thing turned out. THe two dogs looking through the fence might make a good sculpture too. I want to work on one before spring to enter in the compitition at the DOg SHow in Kansas.
I have one idea sound and down, but am still keeping the options open.

I think you may be reading more into the posts than is there. I don't think anyone is making it personal except you. I did say I was glad that you enjoyed them after the people had gone. I found that sweet. Not all things are negative.

Like any thread its a conversation. Maybe some people want to talk about it saying they like to know who they are looking at, that shouldn't in any way affect your enjoyment of the pics. I did look at the pics (never even realized the gallery was there!) but found I wanted to know more and found it frustrating. I never would have tried looking if you hadn't made the thread! So that was a good thing.

I dont' think all threads must accomplish things (or at least I hope not

or some of us are sooooo screwed) And once again not all things are they way you seem to read them. My PM to you certianly wan't hateful. I was a bit hurt.. but not hateful (though I dont' know you may be talking about others)

Try not to see the negativity. I am TRULY glad you made this thread.. I did look at the pics you linked too. I do hope you and others enjoy it (and said that before) If you look for negativity you will find it. If you look to try to see what people mean you will find a lot more.

to be honest, i've never been to the gallery. i, too, enjoy seeing pics posted in threads along with the stories behind them. *shrug*

That's one of the reasons Chaz created the gallery. He lost most of his pics of his Chaz and he wanted people to have a place to save those memories

Oh, and you can post pics to a thread from the gallery. I do it all the time!

WHen you ask someone "what their problem is" when they dont' have one..and you ask me why I have to be so miserable all the time, that other people don't find me "so bad" you are not exactly being cordial. THat is insulting, and i do not like to drag personal feelings out to the whole world but you keep bringing it up, making it personal, and i don't know why.

My whole point of the thread was to put some focus on the gallery. I certainly didn't need this drama this morning.

REnee i remember reading that was why CHazhound started the gallery. And i have always been grateful.

Scob sorry you lost yours. I had a fire and lost a lot of pics of dogs i had early on, its a real shame.
