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

Great photo, Gurn.

Great pic Gurn!  Your chair looks quite similar to mine in the den, i.e. leather recliner - just broke a spring, so time for a new one (purchased from Lazy Boy locally and will likely buy a similar one).  Dave :)

:) Yep, mine's a Lazy Boy too. Believe it or not, I got that big oversize one so Paco had room to sit next to me to watch TV. Sometimes he still shares the seat with me, usually it just pisses him off to have to. :D

It was after midnight, we had been driving since 5am (Texas to Missouri and back) and so I took it off. I am really far more lovely with it on though, you're right. :D

They are banned from the living room, sadly. But I did name my new dog 'Haydn', which has to count for something... :)

Very nice.

And I know you're not looking for a critique, but it's rare for me not to shudder at an oblique angle ('Dutch angle') in a selfie, however, as I write I am shudderless. :o That's because here you've included two elements required to even give it a chance to work, rather than simply 'I'm tilting the camera because everyone does that. lol'. A photo editor would definitely approve. Good stuff.
Also, your hat is cool.  8)

My photos usually come out upside down - don't know why.
Just stand on your head if you want to see this one taken today.
Alternatively tap 'image' under the photo.

My coworkers frown upon it when I try to stand on my head (and they wonder why I've removed my monitor to the floor).

So: here.

Excellent - thank you Karl :)
How did you do that may I ask?
I hope that members will note the intellectual-looking books behind me.
I removed the Tintin and Snoopy books for the photo.
