How come these Zoroastrians never talk about the cute little pencil mustach?

No no, those are the Zoroastrafarians, an obscure and heretical offshoot of the Pastafarians. As the world knows, Zoroastrianism is the dualist religion, and Zoroastrafarianism is the duelist religion.

I am impressed with Freddi's dignity, under the circumstances.

Under the circumstances, I guess.
OTOH, this is the same dog that delights in body-slamming me whenever she comes in from her morning potty.
"Glad to see you too," is all I can say, while trying to stay upright. Luckily, I have little dignity.

Zoroastrianism is the dualist religion, and Zoroastrafarianism is the duelist religion.

It's good to know s1m0n is ever en garde.

Here is me with Sascha, our new Weimaraner puppy. We just got her Tuesday. It was love at first sight!

Dog Fact:
I do not know the meaning of the word "Embarassed".

Oh, I don't know about that last one. I knew a family whose cocker spaniel was taken in for a hair cut. They took way more off the dog than anyone expected. When the dog was brought home, the kids in the family broke out laughing at this bald little thing. The dog visibly shrank before us and crawled off under a bed to hide. If that isn't embarassment I don't know what is.

This is true. I've seen that happen too.

[djm]

Yup, don't tell me dogs don't understand when they are being ridiculed. They can seem so innocent, sometimes, so that when you see they are hurt emotionally it is really disturbing. I still remember this incident, though it occurred forty years ago. She was a very friendly little girl, and when she got all her golden locks shaved off nearly to the hide you could see she was quite devastated. To be laughed at like that by her family really cut her to the bone.

My ex (and present neighbour) and I largely saw eye to eye about dogs, but one major area of disagreement was her belief that it is OK to put a costume on a dog. She wanted to get him reindeer ears for Christmas and an elvis suit for Hallowe'en, but I was adamant, and it was my dog.
