CMoxon: No I don't need a title. I always leave that space blank!
What a beautiful greyhound. I got my greyhound at a rescue shelter. There is a track near here, but I think she has something else mixed in there also. She is not quite as sleek as yours. She does have webbed toes and bad breath. Those are supposed to be greyhound characteristics!
The Crazy Chicken Crew and Their Titles
My fuzzy guard has not yet discovered that the "P"nuts can be ate.
(SHUUUU! don't say anything but I have bags of the shelled ones in the freezer)

I think bad breath is a dog characteristic!!!!!!! At time Andre's breath can knock a squill out of a "P" tree at 20 paces.
I believe Gloria is a Permaculture Diva, and because that is a mouthful, suggest giving her an honorary title something like PeDiva (pah-dee-va) or something similarly abstruse. La Pediva, even.
thanks CMoxon, thanks Grownut, but I prefer to be . . . amorphous, ... anonymous, ...heterogeneus? You know a person whose potential is not yet accomplished?
Immanent? Imponderable?
Latent? Inchoate!

Potluck - a mix of mysterys that are all gooders.
We've got an acorn eater here. It's making for multiple emergency exits during the night and maloderous car trips. I'm getting cranky from lack of sleep and car sick as well. Miserable hound photo included.
I could use a few days leave, with permission. And by the way, if I am an "anything", was it decided whether I'm a CCO or CWO (what would the dubya be for anyway?
Laurel
Awwww...... Why do they do it? Poor thing.
Awwww. He looks like a contented canine to me.
Well, I can't speak for all, but this one is just a mess. Part of it is nature (survival beast) and the other is nurture (rescue hound). When she's not eating acorns she's eating copperheads. The vet bills are putting a dent in my future chicken budget.
L
AYE!!
DS and DDIL in OR. have a rescue greyhound. Yes, her breath is real stinky - so is her other end. But our lab's breath could stink too. He was a seeing eye reject, cuz of his paws. The sweetest, gentlest dog ever, except for your lab, maypop. ( That is a lab in the pic, right?)
Still singing " stuck in the middle with you" lol
I just shivered all over - ICK - copperheads. You said hound. What kind? I see lots of gray around the mouth. Looks like a great friend.
He must be old to have a gray beard. I hope he stays away from those copperheads.
They are really bad.
That is a Plott Hound. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plott_Hound. She is only four years old. The breed was just admitted into the AKC (why, I don't know). The AKC allows show Plotts to be branded (cold branded) because they are used for hunting in packs. Ours is not. They must be brindle and often have gray or white muzzles (makes them look old). Her name is Pepper because she has a classic peppered black spots on white chest as well as feet. She really does look like a dog put together by a committee. She is well bred with a white tip on her tail so she can be ID in the brush.They were bred from German blood hounds (by the Plott family) and N. Carolina mountain dogs a few hundred years ago. They are the state dog of N.C., though no one has ever heard of them. They are pack hunters, climb trees to pull down game and will hunt and kill wild boar.
Okay, I have rambled. You can see the love... but she is such a pain!
I have heard of Plott Hounds! All I remember is that they are suppose to be very sweet natured and affectionate. No mention of acorn eating:0)
I know of the Plott Hounds but then I am a dog nut also. Besides I saw Pepper on the pet Forum.
I've seen one or two breeders your way Catscan. They were stolen for breeding and never seen outside the Appalachians until a few years ago. You could not get a breeder to sell you a dog unless you could prove a pack hunting lineage. It's like the Hemingway cats that people kidnapped to breed from Key West. She is the bantam of canines. Not so large, but can be very aggressive. Here she is in a tree (after a possum). Not so mellow.
Maypop Laurel - you are either Chicken Borrowing Officer (CBO) or Chicken Coordinating Officer (CCO). There was no "W" involved. Which do you want to be?
Gloria is AAH (amorphous, anonymous, heterogenous)
Our greyhound's breath doesn't stink but his passing gas can clear a room in a hurry.
I think that, though I'm very compulsive by nature, I can only aspire to Chicken Borrowing Officer. That would be like grandchildren, yes? lol Coordinating Officer sounds like a position that requires more knowledge of breeds and their requirements than I possess. I would be most happy to "Borrrow" if those of you ranking will share photos for my elucidation and enlightenment. So, If it's okay, and with your permission, may I move up from recruit to CBO?
BTW, I do have a previous relationship with Jan, and am willing to assist with KP (I'm a caterer). If I can help General (?) Dusty, I am also a critical care R.N.. Don't know if that helps with pipping.
I know Gloria from elsewhere. She is knowing, intellectual and amorphous. Never anonymous to my knowledge. Heterogenous? Okay, yes.

Another food officer???? Is there chocolate involved??? I'm so luving this forum!!!!
Chocolate is alway involved. I love Dark Dove chocolate. Much better than those pills. LOL
sigh I'm in heaven.
I'm more about the garlic personally. To each his own.
L
Milk Chocolate with lots of Nuts Yummy!
Garlic works for me. I'm a herbie ^_^ O the many faces of dahlianut. Didn't they make a movie? oops lets not let Sybil-Dahlia out just yet.
I have minced garlic in the fridge but it's for my chickens, not me.
I am an essential oils junkie. I love lavender oil on my pillow and eucalyptus in my whirlpool tub, and I use a blend of oils called "quiescent" to help me sleep.
And I love dark chocolate too, but I am a chocolate snob, and do not buy the "regular" brands....unless I'm making chocolate chip cookies for work, in which case my coworkers do not know the difference. Sigh.
I have tried the fancy chocolate and I find that Dove dark chocolate is better.
Try peppermint oil, great for sore muscle, and even headaches just do not let the fumes get in you eyes.
I buy Valrhona, El Rey, Cafe Tasse, Vosges, Cote d'Or, Callebaut, and occasionally Lindt or Guittard. I usually have to order from www.chocosphere.com.
Peppermint oil - sounds yummy - I could use it on my muscles after all that bulb planting!
Biofreeze is great too but not as natural of the essental peppermint oil(not food type)
I will add that site to my list for when i win the lotto. I have eaten the Lindt
You have good taste in chocolate Moxie. I usually bake with Valrohna and eat the others. We can get Valrhona hacked off of enormous blocks here. I am also fond of Cote d'Or and Callebaut.

I would love to share KP duties with CBO Mapop Laurel. We could serve garlic-flavored chlockit ( a GKs euphemism). Well, maybe not. We want to savor each flavor on its own.
Pepper looks like a love despite her paininess. That is one swollen lip. Bad Copperhead.
Thanks CBO Maypop! I buy the Valrhona enormous block for my Christmas baking. I think it's 6 lbs. It rocks. And it lasts a lovely long time.
Vosges has this chocolate bar, and please don't all go freaky on me, but it's totally awesome, it's the bacon chocolate bar. It is applewood smoked bacon bits in milk chocolate, and it is to DIE for! It is soooo good. Every time I go to Chicago I go to the Vosges store on the Magnificent Mile, and I buy several of them.

Of course, I am also a bacon snob. For a while I was in a bacon-of-the-month club from Zingerman's Deli in Ann Arbor. Now I am in their Culinary Adventure club instead.
Here is the new pecahn patrol. Cadet Pooh
