Farrakhan was the name I gave my first dog. A massive rotteiller with a heart of gold. Boy do I miss him. *sniff *sniff

Feel free to use it as your avatar... I found it with a quick Internet search, but I don't think anyone would object (or legally could) for that unprofitable purpose.

Like Rick said, when you read "theskull" sinister and evil images come to mind, not some cute little furry puppy that never gets big!

If I ever make it to MO, I will let you know. I'm actually planning on a cross country drive from AZ to NJ in the next year or two, so it's pretty likely to happen. I agree, having a good time is what it's all about!

I liked your idea and just tried to load it as an avatar, but got a "pic too big" response. Oh well. If any moderators or admins care to figure out a way to alter that image and load it as my avatar I'd be obliged. Here it is again:

This should work

Skull,

If the pic Rad sent you will not up-load, try this one. It fits within the pixel-dimension and kilobyte restrictions.

P.S.--So, they are called "Papillon" because their faces look like butterflies----sound of self smacking forehead---duh! They sure are cute!

The pics by rad and "the other" Rob ( ) should work. For future reference, just open the pic in your photo editor (Photoshop or whatever you have on your computer) and do a change size function, usually in the format area. Change it from inches to pixels and make the larger pixel size 100. The other one should change so that the pic doesn't get stretched around. I'm glad you liked it!

Well I hope you bought extras just in case. You must go through a lot of tissues when you have a cold.

Thanks much Jet, Rad, Dive-aholic. Yes, the big stand-up ears are supposed to look like butterfly wings. Great pets--Spaniels, but have been bred for their beauty and a temperament that just wants to please their human, and the fur is much like human hair so they don't shed a great deal and are well-suited for those with allergies.

Looks good skull! I'm sure you'll get a lot of comments on your new avatar.

A Papillon. Now have 3 of them and an Australian Shepherd. And 2 cats. All of them have skulls.

I had images of a big biker dude with a leather vest and skull-and-cross-bones tattoos and a collection of bunny skulls decorating his Harley. OK, maybe not that bad...

Papillons are cool. I was afraid you were going to say you had Chihuahuas, which have a very prominent skull.
