Re: PAW: Puppy Parking
Nice grab Paul. I'd say tolerance/fancy of the cold varies from dog to dog. My folks have two collie/spaniels, and while one of them would prefer to be running about all day/night in the snow (I was so concerned about frostbite getting their scrawny paws) to sitting around in a warm house, the other one goes outside for 10 minutes and retires to the stables/garage, unresponsive to my call. Go figure :) Cheers, Ryan - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 1:42 AM Subject: Re: PAW: Puppy Parking The dog was only outside for a few minutes.

Re: PAW: Puppy Parking
Nah, fuzz antidates hippies by decades. I had hear that it came from the stuff that collected on the dark blue wool uniforms they used to wear, and the fact that when you didn't want them around they collected around you like the fuzz did to their uniforms. Somewhat like cops. Supposedly from the english police signing their reports COP for Constible On Patrol (but that is apparently a recent fabrication). Then there is the story that the early London police uniforms had copper buttons, hence copper and eventually shortened to cop. Note that they more likely had brass buttons, easy enough to corrupt that to copper. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- mike wilson wrote: frank theriault wrote: On Mon, 17 Jan 2005 21:56:48 -0500, Graywolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess that is because they no longer where wool uniforms.

PAW: Puppy Parking
The high temperature in Michigan today hit about 15 Fahrenheit. That's something like minus ten to you C people. I drove into town and had a cup of coffee at the Starbuck's. This puppy was tied up outside. The meter indicates that he's legally parked. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3044919

All our snow melted (except a few ugly grey snowbanks), and until a little dusting last night, our streets were bare. We had the same temps as you today (high of -10C-ish), but tonight it's going down to -25C with windchill warnings. Now I know that Wheatfield is sitting out there laughing at us wusses from the East, as they've just had a cold snap of -40C temps. Still, when the windchill gets down below -35C, I feel it. But I digress. Your photo! I think it's wonderful, Paul. I'm glad there are no visual cues as to how cold it is, because it is actually a really cute shot. Very well framed, I like the way he's between the two cars, with the sidewalk framing him diagonally. Very nice! I also like the look of eager anticipation on pooch's face - he's obviously looking and waiting for master. Lovely shot! cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
Re: PAW: Puppy Parking
Thanks Frank. You're right. You can see that he's watching his master who is inside the coffee shop. I don't like to see dogs tied up, but he seems comfortable with his cold weather coat.
