Has anyone done a needlepoint of their pet?

You can get a computer program that will turn your picture into a cross-stitch or needlepoint pattern. Or there are websites out there that will make the tranfer for you if you don't want to buy the program--can be expensive but there are some cheaper options out there. You also post on the Ebay want it now that you want a picture to pattern transfer done and you might get some cheap transfer options.
