Good on you P1M! Fine lookin' dog. Nothing warms the heart or the home like a good dog. I too just picked up a dog from the SPCA. A fine Christams gift to give oneself.

Looks like yall had some pretty dreich weather there for the holidays, too.

Speaking of "dugs"... is there a saying or an old legend which includes/involves "the twa dugs"??? For some reason it sticks in my head that this is so, or maybe it just sounds cool, I dont know. I guess I could do a google search, but I boycott Google/Yahoo for their fascist bed sharing with the Chinese...WHORES AND FORNICATOURS! But I digress...

At any rate, would be very interested if anyone had some insight on this little ditty.

Cheers!

It's a poem by Robert Burns, about "twa dogs", obviously, Ceasar, the Laird's dug, and Luath, the border collie -- Burns's collie was named Luath, and reportedly Luath tripped up Miss Jean Armour so Burns could speak to her!

The most famous line is the last:

By this, the sun was out o' sight,
An' darker gloamin brought the night;
The bum-clock humm'd wi' lazy drone;
The kye stood rowtin' i' the loan;
When up they gat, an' shook their lugs,
Rejoic'd they were na men, but dogs;
An' each took aff his several way,
Resolv'd to meet some ither day.

Yours aye,

Todd

I've got seven cats. One is the probverbial scairdy cat. Scared of everything, except dogs!:confused: He went head to head with the vicious {bit my Daughter} Aussie Shepherd next door, and WON!
