Fun with Picnik

Photoshop is too expensive! So I found Picnik.com for great photo editing. Great thing is you can save the pictures then upload to a photo hosting site like Photobucket and order prints :)

Here are some of the pictures I had fun playing with
This effect turns a color photo black and white except for an area you select, in this case, Dexter's red collar

or the blue ball

the pink of Rocco's muzzle


Softens all the picture except a focus area


Looks like an old movie frame


Comic book type effect

Photo turned to pencil sketch



Try out Picnik, it is easy, fun and free!

Such handsome boys

These are from over the warm weekend weather, after a trip to Pawsmopolitan for dog food the boys came home with mini bully sticks and enjoyed them with the back door open to the nice sunny deck

ROCCO

Almost Done!

Tonight was Class #5 of Basic Manners- Rocco did EXCELLENT! He has definetly come the furthest in class. The class is nice and small now, there are only three left out of twelve, so we got to try lots of exercise and get lots of individual attention.

We worked on sit, stay, come, heel, heel at a trot, down from heel, coming in/out of doorways and.....

It was an introduction to agility!!! Rocco was especially good at running through the fully extended tunnel, but he also weaved through some cones, jumped a hurdle, and went through the tire ring!

All was going so well....then just before class was over Rocco realized Grampy came to watch him at school then all he could do was the happy wiggle dance and try to get through the fence to visit Grampy :)

Rocco says thank you to Grampy for coming to watch!

Next week is the big graduation day! We are suppose to teach Rocco a trick for graduation- any suggestions??
