Here is our forever dog Herman waiting for humans to return home on a dreary Arizona afternoon.

After two unsuccessful Saturdays at the Petco adoption site, Speck is still available for adoption alongside her sister Double Dot.

Antoine's right ear is always standing up, almost flopping over on top of his head. Antoine was from a big litter of Shepherd/Labrador/Rottweiler pups. Poor Antoine watched as his brother Andy was adopted last Saturday. Antoine is really calm, spending all his time at the Petco adoption site napping.

Last week I posted a picture of Speck with some of the excuses listed why so many pups are returned to BARK and generally discarded around the country. On Facebook I posted to a bunch of shelter walls, asking that people freely share in order to spread the message of responsible and lasting pet ownership. Through many comments I saw some statements I felt required another image.

Double Dot is still available for adoption alongside her sister Speck. $100. Petco. Saturday. Oracle Road. Tucson.

I was in the mood for some mind-numbing Photoshop tedium.

I happened to notice the cover to Catfish had an interesting random grid pattern overlay on top of some boring actor face fragments.

As I set about filling in little squares with various grays I couldn't resist recognizable patterns, birthing a melting B, which I tidied up into the BARKTucson logo. I always like to incorporate some of the chaos from outerspace images into any composition with depth, and when I settled on blue, I can see some traces of swimming pool tile, which I have a "skeeve me out" phobia of. 8-bit clouds too.

Oh yeah, Speck is still available for adoption. 12 weeks old. Green eyes. Sweet and laid back. $100. Microchipped. Boostered. Petco. Saturday. www.barktucson.petfinder.com
