> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Unless you tell them of course. Silly pup; you’ve blown your cover. I suppose it’s just a matter of time before you self-dox enough that we learn whether you’re a wolf, a spaniel, or some sort of hellhound. You insult me, sir! You have previously perpetrated a vile insult by referring to my fine avatar as “a paint-by-numbers spaniel that thinks it’s a wolf”. This did not go unnoticed, but I chose to take the high road and say nothing. But this is now a bridge too far, and these libelous “spaniel” invectives must cease at once. I am no more a spaniel than I am a South African springhare. I am a proud and noble Bernese Mountain Dog, as should be obvious to all (or at least, all who follow the Pet Pictures thread, in which I have figured prominently). We are noted for our high intelligence and generally affable nature. So much so, indeed, that we even get along with cats. But be warned, sir, that we are fearsome when provoked. Govern yourself accordingly, and cheese it with the spaniel references. ---

No, but as noted, it was plausible that you had the same hirsute problem as Cousin Itt: [![](https://knithacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/30595791481_844145c3f2_b.jpg) ](https://knithacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/30595791481_844145c3f2_b.jpg) ---

First we have the **ThelmaLou** - Cousin Itt link. Now **wolfpup** posts a Cousin Itt-like photo that’s signed MOMOU. **ThelmaLou** -MOMOU. That’s almost the same name! They both end in “ **ou** ” and have an “ **m** ” somewhere in the middle. Do the math, sheeple! ---

A Bernese Mountain Dog you say. Well, that changes everything! As a non-pet person I plead ignorance on the details of most dogly features. Nor was I aware of such a thread. Though I must say that on close inspection your avatar has a look of intelligence and commitment to his mission usually missing from the slobbering wagging affections of the silly spaniels I’ve known. My apologies for this gross insult to your pedigree Good Sir. ---

I never paid much attention to avatars but since this thread started, I’ve been looking at them as I read through threads. Tonight I came across the avatar of @Kolak_of_Twilo. When I enlarged it and saw the walnut, I immediately remembered the Dick Van Dyke Show episode it references. Which I hadn’t thought of in maybe decades. So, of course, I had to stop and watch it on You Tube. It is still hilarious. Thanks Kolak. ---

Tease. Off topic, but I have to say I admire the way you talk about your relationship with your husband. You sound like you are still newlyweds, and seem a perfect match. 🍾 To your future together. ---

So, of course, I had to stop and watch it on You Tube. It is still hilarious. Thanks Kolak. My favorite DvD episode of all time. And, I swear, they show it less often than other eps. ETA: I think it’s partly because Danny Thomas is such a schmoozy softy that he makes a funny villain. ---

Other than being a little of out focus, there’s **Brian Ekers** ’ kitten with a mini-crown. Can’t remember the poster whose avatar is a lab-coated doctor with (I think) a head mirror. Quite the in-your-face smile he’s brandishing. ✅ A certain banned poster with up-side-down “F”. ---

Well hey there @aurora_maire, I’m glad to see my avatar got you to connect with TDVDS. I truly find it to be one of the best, if not THE best, of the 60’s sitcoms. Great writing, great cast. And Rob and Laura are the perfect TV couple.
