Mmmm… Pizza
Last night was pizza night; our normal Papa Ginos order of a rustic meat combo and large traditional cheese, with the AAA discount. Val got her first chance to gnaw on pizza bones, and her first taste of pizza cheese, which was also her first taste of cheese, which we decided after her checkup it was time for her to start trying. She needs the fat and calories even more than Sadie did.
Sadie hadn’t eaten to speak of all day, and kept refusing food. She’d woken up too early and had a cranky day. We gave her a primo piece of the meat combo, which she picks much of the meat off of, but she wasn’t that excited by it. My theory was that she wanted a slice of plain pizza, so I got her one.
To our amazement, for the first time ever she picked up the slice, held it like a big person and started taking bites point first. This called for the camera!
The camera all too often disappoints me by getting an awesome shot but making it blurry. I’ll take six pictures of one of them, get one that has a smile or is otherwise superlative, and the camera will have failed me just on that one. Focusing is automated, which also means it takes the picture when it’s good and ready so I miss an outrageous number of “snap it now before the moment has passed” shots. Sometimes video recording refuses to turn on at all, no matter how many times I press the button or how long I hold it down.
The first shot of Sadie with the pizza caught an uncharacteristic smile and was a great picture, but so blurry I wouldn’t ordinarily post it, and wouldn’t make a print out of it. I was so mad I decided to experiment with touching it up. I use Paint Shop Pro 5.
Here’s the fuzzy original (which actually isn’t as bad as a lot of the ruined ones I get):
Here’s the result of surprisingly little modification:

Still not perfect, but better. I was intrigued to see what I could do. Oh, she devoured that entire slice!
