OK......since I have had several enquires about what my avatat shows, pay attention now.

On the left, with a beautifull long coat, is DUSTER, my miniature Goldendoodle ( which is a cross between a poodle and a golden retriever. ).

And on the left, and sort of cover over with that beatifull coat of Dusters, is my white with beige spots cat, Dovie. They are best buds, and are often wrestling on the livingroom rug (their boxing ring). The scenario mostly is that Dovie hightails it on the the rug, and Duster charges after her. She crouchs down, and waits for Duster to grab her by the scruff of her neck. when he holds on too hard, she makes threatening noises, he lets go, and she attacks him. This can go on for a couple minutes, with Duster backing off, then charging in as if he's after a snake .

So for the benefit of all, I will change my avatar to anothe picture of them, so you can see more readily that they are not some freak of nature, ( maybe a cat that bred with a dog? ).
