A service providing age regressed photos of your adult pet as a puppy or kitten.

Everyone loves pupppy and kitten pictures, right? Especially ones of their own pets. In fact, pictures are one of the best things about puppies -- in real life, they are messy and destructive, but in pictures, they are tidily adorgable!
One of the drawbacks to adopting an adult dog is that you don't often get puppy pictures of them.
In my case, I was so busy cleaning up after Pica that I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. (It's hard to believe it was almost three years ago that we got her.)
So, this service would offer age regression photos of dogs and cats. You'd bring in a contemporary photo, and they'd use Photoshop wizardry to make it look like it might have as a cute lil' ball of fur.
This would help shelters place cats and dogs, I think, because the shelters could show the cute little pictures in the ads for them. So instead of this, they could pitch this.
As it turns out, the age regression/progression word space is fairly polluted, as Chris would say -- with either fetish sites or missing children bulletins (although I suppose "polluted" is maybe the wrong word in that case). Not to mention general wierdness.
Does this service already exist for adopted/foster kids? I heard the older children are the ones who are hardest to place, so maybe if one could set them up with a portfolio of reconstructed baby pics that might help.
So, uh, are the lights on over there?
Oh, yes, they are! I thought at first that you were making a subtle hint that I should be blogging more. But, yeah, no, things were fine here -- I think it was a lot worse in Washington State. Thanks for asking! (and for not teasing me about my posting schedule).
Oh, no, that was no dig. It's just that real life intrudes sometimes and that I thought I'd read that the local power company had had some difficulties your way. My wife's cousin outside Seattle had lost power for a few hours, I believe.
Hey, speaking of puppies, we just got one last week. Here are pictures (not regressed or anything).
