Camera Critters and Scrumptious Sunday

This is my little dog, Rusty, posing for me in a local park. He is a good dog and will "stay" so I've been having some fun posing him. On his blog he is hoping to be America's Next Top Dog Idol.

Rusty is most definitely the nest America's Top Dog Idol! Such a beautiful day for this pic too~the background almost looks too good to be real-hehe! Beautiful pic~as always!

Buttermilk Pie~sounds great-I think. I'm not a fan of buttermilk itself but when used in cooking~I love it-like buttermilk biscuits!

Thanks for joining us again this week! Give Rusty a little scratch from me. Thanks for your input on my teaching question too...AND Thanks for visiting mine.

Have a great day!

Buttermilk pie sounds good. Can you add any toppings or any other flavors to it?

Rusty the wonder dog..
You asked about the programe I used on that old photo.. it was a one I got free on a magazine, and it is called MicroGrafx Media Manager.. it might be worth googling it as there are free downloads of it knockin about. To fix the corner I used the 'Cloning Tool'... it really is a easy to use programe.

Rusty is so adorable on that statue. He's such a good boy.
Buttermilk Pie is made a lot in this area too but I have never had one. I am dying to try it though. I've heard it is so good.
