Here's our Golden Retriever, Becky, back in February 2006 shortly before she died from pancreatic cancer. Our cat, Sabrina, would often make "biscuits" on her back and nap there. We miss Becky a great deal and our Yellow Lab "Yella" sends Sabrina flying anytime she gets settled up with her.

This was taken with my ol' 20D with it's onboard flash, one of those times when I simply didn't have the time to get my speedlight out. Not to compare against what Mitchel says about the 828, though.

Cute! I have some cuddling pics like that too with dogs and cats!

harveyc · 01-20-2010, 12:39 AM

Different dog and cat, Yella and Belle in October 2008. Belle is fiesty and will come over, lick Yella some, then start chewing on her, and then chase Yella off of Yella's pillow. This was taken with my speedlight, I believe.

harveyc · 01-20-2010, 12:41 AM

I think this forum should use Becky and Sabrina as examples of getting along despite some differences. Even though Sabrina and Yella do duke it out a little, it's all about play and Yella simply leaves when she's not comfortable with the way things are going.

momoese · 01-20-2010, 12:44 AM

The light looks nice here! So these are your some of your current pets? I see you have different shaped dog tags too. Is that the rabies tag?

harveyc · 01-20-2010, 12:58 AM

Yes, we still have Yella (just turned 4) and Belle. We have Sabrina (the old lady) too; she's about 15-16 but still gets along great. She is quite good at hunting mice though Belle is probably faster and catches more birds.

Yella's tags are a county license tag and an ID tag.

Harvey, these guys saved this thread by posting pics. They jumped in to derail it before it got out of hand, so, thanks gang!!!

momoese · 01-20-2010, 01:46 AM

This is Xena, the girl I pulled from the shelter and placed. This is what I saw when I first laid eyes on her, such a sweet girly! I posted a photo of here in her new home in the share an image thread,

Trust me and get one of these, you'll thank me. You can find them cheap on ebay. You can aim it at the ceiling and get the light but avoids that awful shiny skin flash and red eye that you get using the built in flash. And no....the red eye reduction flash in the camera does not work, it never works on any camera.
PROVANTAGE: Sony HVLF32X HVL-F32X High Output Fullsize Flash with Acc Shoe/Terminal

This is the flash I have. it works great but has a small cable you have to plug into the camera.
Sony HVL-F1000 Digital Camera Flash ( HVLF1000 ) - Digital Camera Flash - Sony Digital Camera

Thanks! Mitchel. I'll keep this in mind. I don't want to go too fast. First I need to receive the camera and I'll go from there.
But if I see on Ebay flash that you mentioned and they are affordable, I won't think twice to get it.

harveyc · 01-20-2010, 02:34 AM

Chata ("Shortie"), a dog somebody dumped off at a friend's farm. Michael, my son, got attached to her but I was the meanie and told him we were not bringing home another dog. Besides, Chata has a job to do, hunting gophers, etc.

And also I think it was a rigged bid. If I don't bid the price stays the same for hours but when I bid, it immediately raised the bid $2.50 so I got outbidded all the time. This happenned at least 7 times.
So I was so frustrated I went back to the one I was eyeing before which has a fixed offer asking price. There was not much difference in price and I like the price So I bought it.

It is interesting to note that last night, when I opened my EBay I saw a note that they are giving me a second chance to bid again on that same particular Sony camera that I was just outbidded.
Too bad I already bought one so it is too late.
I already paid the item.

Ya, that means the winning bidder backed out which also means the camera in that particular auction may have been misrepresented.

Dalmatiansoap · 01-20-2010, 12:56 PM

That also means that seller has more same items for sale

.
U can ask seller to cansel that transaction and return funds to you too.
Did I write this correct?

Abnshrek · 01-20-2010, 01:05 PM

Seller could have been running up the price looking to sucker you into a higher price and messed up :^)

perfectly. Ante
But the one that I back out on is not the same seller I bought the camera from. So there is no refund in the making. I was only bidding only at the time there was no money involve yet. There has to be a Acceptance from the buyer and payment from the buyer before money is involved. Like the camera I bought. Before the seller will send me the camera I have to pay for it in advance. Until he receives the check and cleared by the bank only will the seller will mail the merchandise bought.

This one scenario can be true also which is more than likely.
I am learning a lot from you guys.
I am glad I did not get to be a 'sucker'.

I'm glad you you weren't either. :^)

I got the wife a cannon (for christmas (I don't think the oven counted..)), even though I'm a Sony guy.. She's no pro but Happy and that's all that matters.. The In-Law's have a Sony with all the bells & whistles; they are nice. :^)

harveyc · 01-20-2010, 02:14 PM

Benny, we've chatted about eBay auctions before (with Joe Real also) and Joe tried to explain the way proxy bids work on eBay. The auctions are not rigged except in some very rare situations which are cause for banning by eBay.

There are lots of reasons why a seller will offer an item to another bidder. Sometimes the winning bidder has negative feedback or is in another country which the seller has already conditioned his auction against. Sometimes a bidder just has cold feet and backs out. I've retracted a bid once or twice myself for various reasons (at least once because a description was vague and I later found out the item wasn't what I really wanted).

All about bidding
Automatic bidding

Benny, after you've bought a few hundred things on eBay you'll be a pro!

Harvey:
Yes, I remembered vaguely what we and Joe talked about but you know how my memory is is as short as my ......
I tried to retract one of my bids last week by writing privately to the seller but the seller refused to budge from my reasoning and warned me against penalty if I don't go through the transaction but some other sucker outbidded me to it and so I was able to breathe easier.
Anyway, I don't think I will be a pro. For my plan is to buy less than 5 items on Ebay vs 100 or more. lol.
I also noticed that ebay reminds you of your items bought in the past. Mine's last list was listed way back on 2007. And the sellers rating for being a good boy like paying promptly. I have a 100% good boy rating as the sellers say.
