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:

@cander49 awww what a happy doggo!

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.

🥰🥰🥰 I almost called you hun in the previous message and I didn't want to come off as any negative tropes. Pleased to see I am a babe.

Being southern, I’ve had a lifetime of everyone throwing around silly diminutives like “babe”, and “hun”, sweetie, etc. I’m used to it. Sometimes it rubs me the wrong way, and sometimes not shrug. But, I find myself doing it to others, too. So, there ya go. I guess I give as good as I get.

I've been trying to get this cat to trust me for like 4 years. Today is the the first time she ever sat on my lap and went to sleep 🥰🥰🥰
