Description
"Here she comes now, Greg! Quick! Look cute!"
"Don't I always?"
"And innocent. You can do innocent, right?"
"Toby. I AM innocent, remember? You're the one who stole her entire bubble gum stash."
"Yeah, I know." ::side eye:: "But YOU'RE the one who ate it!"
::covers face with big shaggy paw and sorta/not-quite whimpers::
"And I'm still picking it out of my fur."

PRODUCTION NOTES:
Created with one of my own original photos rendered and remixed using Playground AI and ClipDrop's Stable Diffusion XL. Further post work, including a fair bit of hand painting on Greg (the big dog) was done in Photoshop CS2. The colours, being a little bit on the "meh" side in my view, required a boost and as usual it was Adam Wright's Photoshop Actions MegaPack to the rescue. Finally I did another bit of fiddling around, this time in PaintShop Pro, until it did NOT suck like a possessed Hoover. Now you all get to enjoy/critique/whatever the results.
OF (POSSIBLE) FURTHER INTEREST:
My actual couch is not that fancy. It is in fact, extremely ugly, so much that I always keep it covered. Usually with a plush blue blanket. I can only assume that on seeing "couch" and "blue" in the photo and description, the app decided to give me a furniture upgrade. Hush! Don't tell the neighbours! They'll all want to come over and that would seriously cut into my reading and rendering time.
Oh, and the furry culprits, Greg and Toby? Not their real names. ;-)

They are cute, and totally innocent. :)
Byrdie
Well ... can't blame this one on the wind. Or the cat, he knows how to hide the evidence. ;-)

They both look completely innocent. Of course, that's when you have to really watch out!

This turned out great!

Thanks. You did see it from the beginning, so that's high praise. "Toby" reminded me of the silly pooch a friend of mine had when I was a kid needing help with 5th grade math. He also had a fondness for the old Dubble Bubble -- except he didn't steal it, that I knew of. Fortunately he was not floofy, I can only imagine the mess he'd have made of himself otherwise. In our house, the gum thief was a certain ginger kitteh with an insane mint obsession. Stole a pack right out of my sister's purse and ate himself into a state not unlike a catnip induced stupor. Funny thing is, actual catnip had no effect on him. Weird, huh?

First, I'm with you on upgrading our older furniture etc through software. I'm all for it! If only someone could figure out a way to do it in real life---you morph your couch in your computer, then press "Save," and poof: You got a new couch! Kind of AI for real life. Something to work on....
Second, terrific job on the colors and light here! These two dogs really stand out. (You must have a lot of dogs! Your portraits of them are beautiful.) I love the rich reds and red-browns. And the whites jump off the page. And you gave them a fine frame too. Terrific job.
Third (re another upload)---you live in Newfoundland? Wow! Yes, you get winds there that could take 100 hats with them. I almost went there when I was in Northern Maine an eon ago. But I got called back and had to leave. I DID make it to James Bay, though, just south of the Hudson Bay. (In winter yet! The snow banks were 8 feet high...) I just wanted to go wayyyyy north. But I never got up the east coast of your beautiful land......Love your work on the forum and on d.c: so much life and joy and play in what you do. And this is a beautiful dog portrait!

Thanks! Not as many dogs as one might think. ;-) But there is one more coming and that should be all. At least, the ones based on my cat & dog photographs -- what might be visiting the garden is anybody's guess. :-)
