Very cute, Toby. I love the comment from Santa. A sign of the times!

We went to the humane society - those people really know their dogs - I think they were retired zoo workers or maybe they were lion tamers from the circus! The gentleman who took the shots just let the digital snap and snap. We ended up with one picture that worked for us.

However, this is one they thought was among the better shots since they promised 5 on the CD.!

Oh yeah, that is a beautiful shot. Agreed, SPCA know what they are doing. The background is also very good and somebody did a little work with Photoshop. Love it. They would get a good donation from me for this one.

Yup. And they did this all day long. We were something like number 80 in the line-up. I did the erasing of the leashes, more cropping, and softening of the edges stuff. But they sent clear shots and did crop the "best "one. My daughter (black) got the best shot printed and they sent it in a very nice cardboard frame/folder. It was a fun fund-raiser day.

The gang looks great. You do have a lot of patience. And you are great on fixing your photos. What program do you use? I guess I need to spend more time on our photography discusions.

I don't know how to do anything but use the things that come with the Mac. I really need to move along and get a "real" program. Picasa popped up on my computer tonight when I received an e-mail from Nancie Casey and Gracie Doodle and I played with it and made a collage. However I have no idea how to get it back and what to do once I made the collage!!

Where's the final picture? Would like to see it ;-) Toby looks like he is cooporating pretty well.

Well, I wasn't supposed to be in the photo but he wouldn't get close to Santa.. pictures sure can be deceiving because these were just the shots my friend caught of him with his phone of him being still for just a second.. all the rest he's trying to get to me and away from Santa. Haha!
Petco was doing this for free so you only got one shot which was given to me in a cute little paper frame. My friend got better ones then the final one they gave me but it looks like this one..minus the silly comment bubbles I've added.

Haha! Toby looks like he's going to spring up any minute. He was actually eating a HUGE chunk of one of those Natural Balance Dog Food Rolls I had bought him for this purpose. LOL! It was fun and we had them all scrambling there, plus other dogs were walking back and forth around us and Toby was trying to make friends and get away the whole time. It was a circus side show act for sure.
