Fun Photo Editor
Okay, I love free. Free is a very good thing.I found this site, FotoFlexer, one night while looking for a way to add some text to a photo.

It was a little sad to be out there and see Titan's momma alone, but we had a lot of fun with the girls. We also learned that our newest addition, Misti (the white one), LOVES treats. She will do almost anything to get one, including stick her nose in your pocket. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good pic of that.Here are some pictures I did manage to get.
