Hi

Two weeks ago I didn't know there was such a thing as a low D whistle. Now I know how to make one. (It turned out not half bad...)

Happy Whistlemaking

I know I wasted a lot of my youth being stupid and now that I know better I can't afford the stuff I wasted.

Snowshoe Siamese are the best cats.

Waldco is one of the less evil corporations. Well, not less evil per se.

Really? More than pure bred border collies?

Embrace it. At the earliest opportunity, go for the buzz cut. People quickly will go from saying to themselves, "amar is going bald" to "hey, amar's bald. Big deal."

That's quite clearly wrong, it's cocker spaniels.

I know that Scotland are top of the hardest qualifying group in the history of the European championships, while England are only just holding their heads above water in the easiest.

American cocker spaniels are known to be of a different temperament from those in the United Kingdom.

Well, ours are that... but... there's just something... different enough the American Kennel Club started keeping a separate stud book for the British ones.

American cocker spaniels also have a year shorter life expectancy.

I also think that in recent decades they have a tendency to be higher-strung and at times snappish. Bad breeding practices, I think. That may have been corrected to an extent though.
