When the Humans are Away the Dogs will Play . July 6th, 2010

Lately, our two dogs have been rotten when we are out. The little dog hates being in his kennel now that he has had a taste of life outside it while we are gone. He digs and digs at the door, and wines and makes all sorts of noise. He also slides his kennel across the room and sometimes gets a jacket or other piece of clothing and somehow gets it in his cage and rips it up. Oh, and he purposely pees out the sides of the kennel. Little brat. So, we just keep them both in the kitchen.

This is what happened last time.

He ripped up a few paper shopping bags.

And he made sure he did a good job.

Other things they have done?

Maggie has ate spatulas, knocked a glass off the counter and shattered it all over, goes through the garbage religiously (even ones with just paper), and eats things off of the counter.

Since Ernie is smaller and can’t get on the counter or in the garbage – but trust me he would if he could – he has done other things. Like eat the bug spray and assisted in eating an entire container of cat treats, including the lid.

Just when you think the house is dog proof, they prove us wrong.

Anyone want two rotten dogs?

Bokeh for you . June 22nd, 2010

I put together a pack of 16 free bokeh textures for you all to enjoy. Just head on over to the Themes/Resources page to download!

To give you an example of how to use them, I used it on one of my latest photos:

It adds a nice dynamic/texture to a photo. The only thing I ask is that you do not claim the textures as your own and if you use it somewhere it would be nice to be credited.

I hope you enjoy them!

I also made a new design for myself. The other one grew old fast and I wanted something not as bright.

We will see how long this one lasts. ;)
