Dog of the Hour


Sophie Rose.

She just had to look at the lens. So, I made her portrait. I made three frames and off she headed.

As I wrote yesterday, WordPress made me a deal I couldn’t ignore. So here I am. I would have still been here until December 18, even if I hadn’t taken the deal.

The funny thing about that is WordPress is treating me like a new customer. They are teaching me how to use the site and block. As I commented on a friend’s blog, “Block sucks.”

There, I said it as clearly as I can.

It does allow me to create this page almost everyday. Trying to do something else is like an exercise in terror.

I see this as change for change sake. I agree that the only constant is change. But, sometimes you go with what works for most people. And, it certainly doesn’t work the way it is intended.

On your phone.

I can’t see what I’m doing. It was hard enough in the past, but with block it is near impossible.

Let’s change something else.

Dog of the hour. Sophie Rose. As I said on the left hand column, she decided to see what I was doing. She stuck her nose in the lens.

That’s my girl. Cocker Spaniels are, by nature, inquisitive. She leads her pack.

I’m working in black and white for a little while just to figure out if I can still see in black and white. Once that test is done I’m back to color.

Could be today. Could be next week. Could be next months.

Stay safe. Stay mighty. Wear your mask. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. Enjoy your life.

    Marvelous picture of the puppy dog, Ray!
    Until today I was still able to access the Classic option. Now I don’t have that and block does not look doable to me.

        I appreciate that, Ray! Strangely, late in the evening it changed back to both options, but it will no doubt change to one option again.

        I liked at it today. If you go to the pulldown from which you can determine the blocks. There is one called “columns” That has the option you’re looking for. I suspect since it is buried there that it won’t go away.

    Love the photo. I am nostalgic for black and white photos too. I took care of my friend’s various cockers over the years once in a while. They are sweet.

      Black and white is very trendy now, but when I start ed my career that’s really all we had.

        Yes, but I’m happy to see the BW return. “Everything looks better in black and white.”

    Our pre-Shira pup was a cocker…Freddy truly was one of my best friends ever, rescued when he was about three, lived to the ripe old doggy age of 16. I miss him every day….of course, his ‘portrait’ hangs over my computer!!! (Black and white, of course!!!)

      Sophie Rose is a rescue. Maybe I wrote that. We brought her home as a foster when she was 8. She fit in almost immediately so she is a failed foster because she never left.
