Pets and Kilts

[CMcG]

Apparently, the labs' name was Harvey.

First a question for Tobus: how is it riding in a Utilikilt?

Nah, I think the best accessory for a Utilikilt is a Percheron!

Second a couple more pics...

Here is the 3rd Duke of Fife, who appears to also like labs:



And Billy Lewis, his Irish kilt, and two German Short Haired Pointers:


Though I think Madagh's Irish "accessories" and saffron kilt work better...

Here is what I like to accessorize my kilt with:

Well, it gives a new meaning to "bareback riding"!

I ended up with horse hair stuck in places that you generally don't want horse hair to be. The riding itself is not so bad if you're used to being bareback. But it was the mount and dismount that were a bit... shall we say... tricky. Especially on a draft horse. Getting on, it's hard to do without sitting on the front apron. And when I dismounted, my wife and her friend got quite a show. It's just such a long drop to the ground that my pleats flew up above my waist, and my apron got turned up to my stomach, so I dragged my soft parts down the horse's side on the way down.

I can see now why Highlanders chose to wear trews when riding horses.

Wow, you are a brave man to try that! I guess this is one situation where p@nts are actually better than a kilt

While I think all pets go well with a kilt, I have to agree with Rob - a Westie goes well with a tartan.

Here's me 'n Sophie.

Tom wins. That is the coolest kilt accessory/animal, hands down.

[CMcG]

Wow Foxgun Tom, how much does Syrup weigh? I think you and your kilt are just an accessory for the bird

Syrup weighs about 7 1/2 to 8 pounds I'm not sure of her exact or optimum flying weight? because of the weight the stick supporting her is very usefull!

Hmm. . .Now that I think of it, my just-ordered Douglas Grey Modern kilt, with charcoal hose and brick red garter ties, should tone nicely with my African Grey Parrot, Chiyome.

African Greys go with everything!
