@Giles thanks for maintaining such a wonderful, engaging and polite forum.
Quantum - that is very kind of you. The best simile I can come up with is that I regard this forum and the way it behaves as like having a dinner party at our house. I don't mind drunkenness, high spirits and bad beviour as long as it is well-meant, I won't abide rudeness or bigotry, and if anyone thinks they can do that in my house, that's the last time they are invited…
Some members (all ex), just did not get that....

I'm honored to be at the Iron Heart table, always tipsy when the good stuff is passed around but mindful never to be rude, much less to our hosts. My wife Susan and our pup Sadie, born February 2020, offer their gratitude to the great pups like Berkeley who've made it a better world time and time again.

@QuantumMechanic - I am very sorry for your loss. Your testimony is the kind of thing I read that make me want to add a dog to the existing cats… ???

I dropped by a breeder today and met some interesting (and rare) sighthounds. As you can see, they have a very tough life!


The two dogs at the left hand side of the couch are Salukis. The tan one is a smooth type, whilst the white has a feathered coat. The two brown and white dogs with the wide collars are Azawakhs, and the black and tan one between them is a Sloughi.
I am interested in an Azawakh. They are originally from West Africa, and are a guard and hunting dog. They can be skittish with strangers, but seem to settle down quickly. My girlfriend liked the white Saluki best, because he had a soft, fine coat.

Watching “Rico” for a few days— No fuss/no muss with this little guy.
And like a top ten hit, the “Wabash” is in heavy rotation these last few cold days

Here's Holly with her hooded birthday quilt coat my wife made for her! Can't believe she's 10! The coat is quite warm for a dog: it's quilted from 2 layers of a pretty hard-wearing ~4 oz cotton (hard wearing for 4 oz cotton at least haha) with a pretty standard cotton batting fabric sandwiched in between, and then it's lined inside with a woven acrylic (lol) flannel that's designed to look kind of like a Pendleton-esque fabric. The binding is also the same 4 oz cotton as the body. We couldn't stop laughing about how she looks like an astronaut.







Going and getting it dirty immediately:

Bonus Tyrion the cat showing off the lining on a dirty coffee table haha:

She realllllly likes going out in the snow.
Also, I'm 2nd in line for a human quilted coat (my wife wants one for herself first haha). It's probably a year out before mine will be ready given all of her ongoing projects, but we're discussing a design that will include indigo dying some fabric ourselves (nicer than what the dog got hahaha), interfacing with wool batting, making a subtle plaid look from quilting it, and including a light blanket lining. It'll be a beast. -

Here's an ultra rare photo of me smiling. I don't feel very photogenic and my smile always feels forced. My friend is always antagonizing me to smile, so I am practicing. This is my my 12 year old cat Pickles.
