Hello once again, I use Windows XP home edition with service pack 2. What I would like is an animated wallpaper (if possible with guide dog puppys on ) and if possible with sound.

Animated wallpapers are only realistically possible in Windows Vista Ultimate (which you would have to buy and upgrade your current operating system which may not be all that advisable). It's an expensive beast.

Thank You for your advise and as we are a voluntary group I think we will stick with XP we can't afford any great expense. If you get a chance take a look at my guide dog http://gustheguidedog.tripod.com/ and please sign the guestbook as Pedigree Petfoods UK have agreed to make a donation to Guide Dogs UK for each guest book signing and please pass it around.
