I think I've posted this first one before, but it's myself and my two pugs. Buster is the male fawn, and Bella is the female black. Bella just turned 1 on the 6th of July and Buster will be 2 in October.

Here are three of many Welsh terriers whose lives have crossed with mine:

Quincy (L) and Ceinwen (R)


Alfalfa (a.k.a. "Sen. Alphonse T'omato")

My former partner and I used to show and raise Welsh terriers and I loved every one of them, even if they tried my patience a few times. Quincy, who just turned 12 in March, and Ceinwen (a Welsh name, meaning, as I understand it "beautiful jewel") are both finished AKC champions. Alfalfa was born blind; rather than put him down, we decided to keep him and raise him ourselves. It turned out his blindness wasn't much of a handicap - he just does things a little different than the others.

Quincy resides with me now, while Ceinwen and Alfalfa are with my ex.

ObKilt: At many of the dog shows, particularly on the East coast, someone invariably showed up in a kilt. Very cool.

I'm assuming the glasses are a necessity because of his eyesite? As opposed to a cool accessory?? Either way, he has to be the cutest doggie ever!!!

Naw, just a cool accessory, along the lines of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Diane Schurr, and I agree with your assessment, personal bias notwithstanding.

You reminded of of something I encountered this spring. I was at the Virginia Renassaince Faire and one exhibitor had alpacas. One of his older animals had been born deaf. He used this animal to train the young animals. The younger animals would look to the older one to know how to react to different situations. Because of the older animal's deafness, he often didn't react at all. Thus the younger animals were not jumpy all the time.
