Very nice photo Karl.

This is how I look like. Now, feel free to insult me based on the arbitrary appearance I got by mere chance  :laugh:




Mere chance gave you a pornstache?

aleazk

Well, yes... I didn't trim it at all to look like that, it's just the unfortunate way in which it naturally grows.

Although, I have been told it looks like beggar style... pornstar style is new for me.

Don't worry about it. I've got a pornstache and, apparently, there's someone out there that likes it. I mean look at mine:

Fun catching up on this thread - nice pics all!

From Chicago in March with a couple of my very favorites (that's Leila too!)

What a night! Just after an amazing Le Sacre with CSO. Pretty sure I was legit floating.  ;)




Very nice photo, Greta! Salonen seems like a cool person.

Here's something you don't see everyday; it's Gurn!  With 2 of my Scotties, Colleen and Fergus Haydn MacDouglass. Last month on the day we got Fergus. You can tell how delighted Colleen is, can't'cha?  :D

He is hell on wheels, and apparently Colleen sensed that potential right away. I'm currently rethinking my yen to hear the pitter-patter of little feet... :D

Yes, pretty much. We are involved in dog rescue efforts, and he was destined to be a stud dog at a puppy factory. As cool as that sounds, he would have never got out of his cage his entire life, and various other indignities which dogs shouldn't have to endure. SO we got him instead. Pleased!  :)

Indeed...a great rescue, Gurn. For fifty years I've dreamed of owning one of the Scottish breeds: West Highland White, Skye Terrier, or a Scottie (black is my favorite color). Unfortunately allergies, both mine and Mrs. Rock's, put a damper on that  :(

Thanks, Sarge.

Our other 2 Scotties, Colleen and Roisin (Rose in Gaelic) are also both rescues, as is our West Highland, Sam. And our Chihuahua, Paco. We had a Cairn (the 4th Scottish breed) who we rescued from a puppy mill also, when she was 9 years old and couldn't have more puppies, she was sent to a "kill shelter". We had her for 7 years, great dog, even though she didn't know anything from anything about playing or interacting with other dogs. We do love our terriers!

Scotties, Westies and Cairns, at least, are very small sources of allergens; they are NOT shed-free (take it from someone who has had them for over 30 years!), but near as dammit, nothing like a spaniel or retriever, for example. I know, because I have allergies too and they don't do a fraction of the damage to me that my old Cocker Spaniel or a cat would do. :)
