Snickers!

The random number generator speaks: “Snickers!” That makes Snickers Chet’s Dec. Friend of the Month. Snickers will be the FB profile pic till Jan. and the human companion gets a signed copy of A Farewell to Arfs, the latest Chet and Bernie mystery. Next month this could be you! Just send in a pic. R#G does the rest. (And I believe Snickers is the very first equine winner. You may have noticed there are surprises in life.)

  3. Congratulations to Snickers! If I recall, equines have played a part in several of the C&B books.

    Not sure why, but horse whiskers always amuse me. Compared to cats, dog whiskers are less than optimal. But even compared to dogs, horse whiskers seem a bit lacking. Maybe it’s a breed thing and those breeds that have been domesticated for the longest have lost some of their ancestral whiskers. Maybe eons ago horses and dogs had whiskers as sumptuous and generous as today’s cats. Just imagine a horse or dog with whiskers like a cat. For instance, a horse with whiskers so long and plentiful they could let a horse know if it could fit through something.

    Snickers. Hm. Because s/he is so soft and sweet?

    It is National Mutt day. Every dog I’ve owned has been a mutt, except maybe Caesar who you might call a designer dog, which is just a fancy word for mutt. He was half black labrador and half doberman pincher. So a Dobrador or Laberman, neither of which is what you would call a designer breed so, mutt. They didn’t have DNA for Caesar or Goliath. Caesar’s parents were known, Goliath’s were not. From Ramses on DNA shown each of my dogs to be a mix of half a dozen or more ancestors so very mutt.

    I’m not very horse savvy but I know they have breeds too so I’m sure they also have mutts but not sure what the term is or if they have DNA tests for horse breeds too. Maybe Snicker’s human will tell us a bit.

    Would Snickers be insulted if s/he were made an honorary dog?
