All kidding aside, she's lost three pounds and I'm very proud of her! (Now if I could only remember to take Louie's bowl away when I let her out of her eating quarters.............)

The Diet isn't Working!
I've had Beegie on Purina Overweight Maintenance food since June.

Clarence is a talented guy
We met Clarence at a community breakfast and learned he had just started recording his singing. He was such a fascinating guy that I asked if I could photograph him at home.
Before the snow came today Bill and I went to visit him and were enthusiastically greeted.
Listen to him here

My Official Taste Tester
He's not as food adventurous as I am, so if he likes it I know it's good.
A couple of days ago we ate at the Korean Barbeque restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina, and especially enjoyed the dried squid appetizer served in the "banchan" assorted little dishes of tasty, usually fiery hot, "go-withs" that are served with Korean dinners.
I searched the web and found a great blog which unfortunately hasn't been updated since 2007, but the recipes are good. You should check it out: My Korean Kitchen
Here's my DH taste-testing the dish which just came out of the wok. I will refrigerate it and serve only a few morsels at a time with a meal. EXCELLENT!

First visit this year!
Northern Flicker waiting for a pileated woodpecker to leave the cedar log feeder.
(I'm waiting for a crop camera similar to the Canon 5D Mark II that has excellent high ISO performance, but has better and faster low light focusing abilities. The new 7D has reportedly better focusing, but doesn't fill my high ISO performance expectations.) Update: I've found it! The 7D really does have VASTLY improved focus and I love it. Check out My PBase 7D gallery.

Louie has a problem - It doesn't tickle my fancy
On Monday, I took Louie for a cardiac ultrasound because his formerly nightly coughing incidents have worsened and have been occurring several times throughout the day and night. He was very stoic when he was being shaved before the procedure:
Previous to the ultrasound he was diagnosed with asthma and put on Theophylline to open up the bronchioles in his lungs to ease his breathing. It seemed to help, but a side effect of that medication made him a bit hyperactive so I stopped it. Of course something had to be done about the coughing so my vet suggested the cardiac ultrasound to find out what was going on with his heart. The test revealed "moderate" thickening of the heart walls. It was explained to me that the coughing may be caused by the thickening pressing against his trachea.
Other than the coughing he shows no other heart defect symptoms so he won't be given any heavy duty medication. I've gone back to the Theophylline which I thought might help, but last night he had a really bad coughing spell. It is sad watching and listening to him fight for breath at these times.

Fun place to play with Portraits

Has all sorts of templates to which you upload your photos and face detection inserts them into the artwork. I found it timed out a lot before the upload was finished. Switched to Internet Explorer from Firefox and it seemed to work better:
