    The big red dog

    Warning: Cute Kid/Marauder story.

    My 2004 red Marauder has been given a name by my daughters, ages 6 and 8. It is now known as Clifford, after the famous big red dog:

    During the same conversation, my 6 year old asked me how it was possible for me to buy the car, since she could not imagine anyone being willing to sell it.

    Good question.

    Let's see if this Clifford avatar works....it should, it's under 100x100 pixels. A little small, but it should work. Just right click and save the file to your computer, then upload it as your avatar.

    Clifford artwork is not easy to find and in limited selection. My son is asleep, but he has a ton of books up there somewhere, I can scan and resize a better one if these aren't appealing.

    I have already resized these to 50 pixels square for avitar application.

    I like the one Donny found. Like I said, difficult to find without scanning your own. I couldn't remember how big an avitar can be and sized mine to 50x50 pixels.

    Here is a great site, free, that will resize all gif files, including animated ones. Try it:

    It's a great avatar, especially since it originated with your daughter.
