mr_ed: I'm sure sorry your breathing problems are flaring up again. Hope the medicine works!
Tucker: ::suspicious look:: What medicine?
mr_ed: Oh. Never mind.
Tucker: Our friends are leaving us comments. But we aren't answering them.
mr_ed: Okay, pick one and we'll knock it off tonight.
Tucker: Knock off a friend?
mr_ed: A comment. Pick one.
Tucker: Benny, Moey, and Minky think the shelter should use a picture from puppy's dogster page on the MaxFund website.
mr_ed: I'd rather not, for three reasons. One is that the photo I took has a major flaw, artistically speaking. The border between the sidewalk and grass makes for a giant line that looks like it goes through Mystique's head.
Tucker: So?
mr_ed: When you're looking at her ever-so-cute face, the line draws your eyes away and off into nothingness. A picture's composition should keep interest on the interesting parts.
Tucker: What's another reason?
mr_ed: Lots of the other dogs' pictures were taken in front of the shelter, with that pink orange whatever wall behind them. It's kind of a theme, and I'd like to keep that going for Mystique's photo.
Tucker: Are you an artist yourself?
mr_ed: I can talk like one, sometimes.
Tucker: What's the third reason?
mr_ed: Nikki volunteers a lot of time so MaxFund can show off our dogs. She deserves to have her work seen.
Tucker: Okay, so what's this?
mr_ed: I tweaked her photo a little. It doesn't look great - it should be crisper, snappier, so it catches people's eyes. But I helped it a little, I think. So I sent it to Amy in case she'd like to use it.
Tucker: And the write-up?
mr_ed: I didn't think of anything to add, so I sent what I showed you last night.
Tucker: So people will start calling right away to adopt her!
mr_ed: After it gets on the website, sure, it'll probably be pretty quick.
Tucker: Woo wooooo!
mr_ed: Which will leave us room for another foster dog or two. Shoot, maybe even three.
Tucker: ::snort:: I won't dignify that with a response.
mr_ed: But I think you did, didn't you?
Tucker: I'm going to bed.
mr_ed: I love you, my handsome husky.

Why don't you ever visit me?
I think you need a pic of puppy where he looks sweet and pathetic. That's what really woo's the humans.

I know it's a moot point by now, but I really don't think the pic of Mystique that you are talking about is all that bad - artistically speaking. I don't find my eye drawn anywhere but to her sweet face. It's a much more engaging photo. I can understand your artistic hesitation/inhibitions (not quite the words I'm looking for, sorry), however.
