Profuse apologies for the absenteeism but I have quite a bit on my plate at the moment—including, I hope, stuff that might be of interest to you (nah, it's not all work and no play for Jack).Posting will resume shortly, and if you tried to contact me do not despair, I will answer.
I beg for your forgiveness, and offer you in exchange in couple of pictures of what I believe is one of the (very) few truly great things about France: dogs.
Particularly the awesome variety of hunting breeds one can find in this country—that is to say faithful friends of ours, hated by both Muslims (despite their primary occupations, we regard these dogs as more than mere hunting auxiliaries, which makes them "Haraam" for the followers of the religion of hatred) and Brigitte Bardot (who lobbies to ban hunting, take the few guns left in French law abiding civilian hands away from their owners, and put all these dogs out of commission.)
Bless the dogs, for the Eternal Hunting grounds are theirs. And protect them from Brigitte Bardot and Islam.
Man in the pack. A 15,000 years old bond.
Brigitte Bardot can go screw a Mollah, this week-end I'm off to the center of France where I'll be hanging around with some 1,500 hunting dogs of all shapes, colors and forms.
Look for the frog among the dogs.

While I'm currently sharing my house with a cat I have to say that any country that loves dogs can't be all bad. Afterall, if the Muslims hate then they must be O.K.

I like dogs, as long as they are not those little, yappy anklebiter variety!
Have a good weekend, Froggy!

DF - What a wonderful event. And such a great view to have of that sea of wagging, happy tails, from astride that magnificent horse!!
Thank you for a glimpse into French life many of us would never have known about.

Thanks for the lovely pics.
As a person who has grown up around all manner of working/hunting dogs, horses, the outdoor life, and, well,... firearms(lots of em, scads, the stereotypical middle American as it were!) I appreciate the scenes depicted here.
Sadly, we have our own Brigitte, bunny huggers here, and lest we not forget: the ugly spectre of NAIS...which of course is only for our own good, and to assuage the fears of the good citizens of the world, and thus make the life I led not available to my children or their children (who should no doubt be better served staying inside and playing video games and watching TV, studying their wonderful public school curriculum).
As my father (a WWII vet, by the way) was wont to quote: "The more I know of people, the more I like my dogs." Dad wasn't wrong about much.

What are those lovely hounds? I'm not familiar with them.
