Here is Barkis in watchdog mode. Can you spot his vibrissae? Reminder–the quickest way I know of to share an image is Piccdrop. Real quick! Drop me an image! Put the URL in comments.
Soapbox: I’m sorry to say that some owners or groomers pluck or even remove their dog’s vibrissae for cosmetic reasons. That’s just wrong. And mean. Please don’t do it. While you’re at it, leave his ears alone, too!

I love Barkis’s ears! That’s horrible that people remove those tiny hairs. That’s the best thing about pets. They love you no matter what you look like. It should be the same the other way around.
I can’t post a picture because the site went down while I was uploading, but I’ll try to later.

Susan, thank you for the new word, and the photo.
I don’t have a picture to share, but will comment about dog cosmetology. We had a darling little black almost-Schnauzer once. Sassy looked–at least to me–exactly like a Schnauzer, except her ears and tail had not been “fixed.” A groomer told me when we first got her, she was still young enough that we could have it done. Ouch–I opted not to, and was always glad. Her tail was long-haired and looked like a plume, arching over her back. So pretty.

Portrait lens eh ?
I was never popular at the barns I rode at or trained in……I NEVER would cut off my horses whiskers, eyebrows or ears. They have those hairs for a reason !
Here is some of our clouds recently

and the dusk clouds reflected in the side of my Chevy pickup (kind of hard to figure out, but I liked it anyways)

This is a picture of my furry “niece” Abby when she was just a pup. She is now about 3yrs old.
