I'll second that... T.

Looks like everyone had a great time... and Elsie looks very pretty in her new collar. T.

Mine will sit and stare at me if I'm lying on the couch watching TV... and they stop when I reach over and start scratching them... I don't have to look at them to know what makes them stop the staring... *grin* When I've given them a good five mins of scratching, I pat them 3 times on the scratching spot and say "Finish", and they move over to their couch and let the next dog come in for her pat... there is no particular order as to who gets first in line for the pats either. T.

Ummm... depending on the level of damage Cookie had to her spine, she may not have been in a lot of pain at all. I'm sure that if Cookie appeared to be in pain at any point, k9angel would have been beating down the doors of the vet for a fuller diagnosis right from the start... You and the boys did everything you could for Cookie - and you gave her probably the only love she had ever known in her short life. At least she passed knowing that love. T.

Done - but I have 3 dogs, and was really only given the option to state the age of 1 of them. My dogs are perfect weight for their types anyways... even though I'm not... the only one who gets extra treats around here is me... *grin* T.

Kirislin - thanks for the DPP tips - will definitely give the right click a shot... and read the help files... *grin* Kristin - awesome focus tips - just gotta read up and work out how to change the focus point(s). I'm pretty good with the half press focus lock thing so far, but will see if your suggestion works better for me too. I think my breathing and hands are pretty steady, but will concentrate on both to find out if I'm a bit off there too. Oh - and the lenses I have have got the IS thing to help minimise any small shakes. ... and I need to find time in this lifetime to really get off my arse and properly explore all these things... *grin* T.

Leanne - these guys are going to be smaller than Bones when they finish growing... but if you want one feel free to call... *grin* T.

Oh damn! My heart goes out to you and the boys right now... Run free and healthy now sweet Cookie. My eyes are leaking now... *sob* T.

You gotta tell them that the teddies are for rescue dogs... and sometimes it depends on who is manning the counter... Don't go into the Vinnies next door to the Salvos - they charge $1-2 per teddy... T.

Don't sell yourself short Kristin... your work is sublime... T.

Kirislin - I played about with all sorts of sliders... on different tabs too... *grin* How do you check where your focus point was in DPP? Maybe I should read the manual for it to find out what I can actually do with it, yes? I was just fiddling about really... persephone - all of the flowers (except the one you liked) are my neighbour's flowers. The one you liked is actually on a weed "tree" thing in my yard... and that is what it did in response to being poisoned - bloody thing decided to flower rather than die... lol! And that one was actually the one that wobbled in the wind the most.. *sigh* I have a Tamron 18-270mm lens on this 60D - and for the life of me I can't work out how to adjust the focus on it - it has a 9 point system, and I'd rather some less if possible... I have a total of 3 lenses here - a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS with broken AF (manual works though), a Canon EF-S 55-250 IS, and the Tamron 18-270mm DiII VC PZD. I should really test all of them on the 60D to see what I favour the most for different "jobs", yes? Maybe when I have some money, I can get a nice Macro lens too... T.

Please do post it Ella... Oh - and awesome job you and Digby are doing with the boys... you be da bomb!! T.

Good luck today Cookie! T.

Lily and Frodo are Ugg boot killers... lol! T.

Noice!! Me likes!! T.

Haha @ MM! You really need to train your mum better... lol! T.

Babies have been enjoying the delights of my back yard today... Bilbo Frodo Lily Peaches Daisy Fun shots... T.

I'm completely speechless... jaw droppingly so... Awesome stuff kja! T.

Hmmm... thinking I may need to either get better at pointing the camera, or find out exactly how to work this DPP software... Here's what I have so far... The only one I'm even vaguely happy with is the first pic... T.

Has the vet done abdominal x-rays or ultrasounds to eliminate the possibility that Buddy may have eaten something he shouldn't have? Blood tests to rule out things like Pancreatitis or the like? Fecal samples should be done more than once to completely rule out some bugs like Giardia... T.

Me likes!! T.

OK - I think I have this computer set up enough to load the Canon DPP stuff now... Wish me luck... T.

Finally have my spare computer back - and up and running nicely with the 23" screen... just have a few little adjustments to do and will be all good to set up the Canon software and see what transpires with my various pics taken in RAW (first time using RAW) today... For tonight I think I'll just load up the latest AV program then call it a night... *yawn* Tomorrow I can play... yay! T.

My friend rang me back - she's swinging by here soon and we are going to buy her a new computer so I can have my old one back... yay!!! T.

Just rang my friend - she's out and won't be home until later. But she will feed me tonight and I'll swap her this laptop for my decent PC. she only uses the computer for email and netbanking, and the lappy will do that for her just fine. I just don't want to leave her without a computer... T.
