If I understand things correctly, those that know Patti will understand how funny this photo really is. Oscar is growing up and being more responsible (translation - he is ringing the bell more and more to go outside to go Potty). As a result, we are giving him more freedom. He is drawn to our office and one of his favorite spots is sitting (just as you see here) right next to Patti! I try to limit the amount of time he is in here with us, especially when he insists on being Patti's best bud but sometimes I just have to let him stay. How could I not - look at this face?
Patti is a real trooper! She is not a dog person, yet she is very nice to Oscar. She is watching the Dog Whisperer on TV and some of the skills she has learned has helped her bond with Oscar more and more. Maybe that's why he's such a big fan of hers. Zoe is extremely jealous of Oscars interest in Patti.
Off-topic - we got ice again! Phase 1 of 3 has come and gone. We are inside waiting for Phase 2, which I think comes later this evening or tonight. We are lucky we have power - although one of our pine trees in back is looking a bit sad:
As a result we are staying inside today and I'm making a big pot of Grandad's Stew. Also playing around on eBay and fiddling with my new Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 that I got with my new slide scanner for Christmas. Thinking of going upstairs and scrapbooking a bit. I'm starting to work on my New York pictures again.
Regarding Photoshop. I've always been a Paint Shop Pro user. I love PSP for graphics, making banners and web stuff but I don't do much of that anymore. I'm more into photos and everyone raves about Photoshop. So, today I installed the version I have and been playing around with it a bit. I'm quite impressed. Need to learn more!
Got to get back to eBay - an item I'm watching is ending soon. I've been shut-out on two other auctions - sniped at the last minute. Need to try again! Everyone have a good day (and weekend) and for those in St. Louis have fun staying in. We sure are!
What a great suprise to see me and my buddy Oscar! Can't wait to see him and of course, Zoe on Monday.
