Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

Dy-no-mite!! Well, you already know my thoughts and sentiments about the mighty TNT taking the helm at your home, and I think it's a fantastic thing you did for the little guy! They say the third time is a charm and I think this might be the case, Dave!! I fantastic set of captures here and thanks so much for sharing! Happy 2007 to you and your clan!!

Dear Dave, He's just darling - and yes - does have a bit of a mop look - but then so do I most mornings - mine is just blond!!! You are both so sweet to take him into your family and I'm sure he is going to be a wonderful addition. It's a real sadness, but the animal shelters are one place I CAN'T - I could never leave without twenty!!! Breaks my heart!!! I'll be wathing for his "close up, Mister De Mille" in a future Elnor post!!!! Love you and Elnor - hope she is feeling much better!!!! Meredith

Hi Dave a pleasure to see you on "Candid Camera". This brings back many a memory. In my late teens a mutt acquired me "Zonk" as I later named him strolled into my parents kitchen through the back door one afternoon. He was all banged up and looked like hell, and hungry. I fell in love with him on the spot. I fed him, gave him a bath, took him to the Vet., bought him a collar and as life goes he stuck around for some ten years. I've owned many a dog in my life time but good old "Zonk" has a special place in my heart. You did the right thing here ol buddy and I have a gut feeling that TNT (I like the name) will turn out to be a real winner. Happy Yew Year.George

He is SOOO cute!!! Congratulations on your new family member - I am sure he will be forever grateful for your rescue!!!
Silkylady
Oh, Dave, these are so cute. I can't wait till we can get him bathed, cut, and groomed. He is so cuddly with me, I can't get him off my heels, while trying to get something done. This night you took these, I felt and looked worse than Tiny. Huggs and more...Silkylady...
llorna
I saw the smile too! And a cute white goatee. He is very cute and I am so thankful he now has a new home. TNT will bring lots of joy and laughter - can't wait to see Silky Lady (the new Mom) holding Tiny. Happy New Year to all!

Clockwise from top left: See me walk the runway! I'm light on my feet, my tail curls just so. I'm soooooo adorable!! Treat? Did you say treat? Okay I'm sitting now..(tail thumps the floor) Oh...here let me turn my head just so..see my gorgeous smile! Oh and check out my cool goat tee...doesn't it just set off my grin... I'm ready for my close up!! Move over Bengy..there's a new dog in town! Center: Well if he's not going to smile than neither am I. We guys have to stick together you know..(thought bubble above Dave's head) wait till they see you all groomed and pretty! (thought bubble above TNT's head) Did he say pretty? Oh geeze, I hope they don't get me one of those prissy poodle cuts...that would be soooooo humilitating. LOL! Sorry couldn't resist...these are great...what a cutie!! I think TNT is a great name dave....a little package of dynomite, he seems to love the camera. Hey who is that guy with the blue eyes? Wow...!! He's a lucky little fella to have such caring souls to look after him. He looks as if he's already wormed his way into your hearts and made himself nice and cozy there. Can't wait to see him after the "barber shop"...
