get ready for a photo overload!

[maggie]

Photobucket says the pics are 87% loaded, so stand by

Leia foaled early this morning and had a beautiful boy

I'm feeling a bit

[Anna]

ohhhhhhhhh well done Leia!! Bout time you got your boy maggie!

[maggie]

AAAaargh! it's SO frustrating, photobucket keeps giving me Error 404 and refusing to show any photos as uploaded, even though it says its at 100%.

Brilliant name Maggie!! I shall keep everything tightly crossed that all continues to go from strength to strength.

I find sometimes with the photo loading websites, they get overloaded on the weekend with people trying to share pics. You might find your photos ready to play with later tonight or maybe tomorrow morning when the activity lulls a little

[maggie]

I'll just have to try photobucket again later.

Maggie can you right click on the pic to bring up the properties of the image?? If so, you can copy/paste the image from that.

Hurrah, it's worked, thank you Minnie

Leia's looking a lot slimmer than she did yesterday, but you can see why I had the vet back twice to check for twins!
