      what kind of devil?

  That's Bill Reid's Spirit of Haida Gwaii. I happened to be out at the Airport and took a few pics of it. You can also see it on Canadian $20 bills. Brief article here:

Is that in vancouver Wierd Al? Around teh Airport maybe?

  Unless my memory is incorrect which it seems to be lately , the haida are from teh island. Mid Island I believe.

My favourite Bill Reid is 'The Raven and the First Men' - in the rotunda in the Anthropology Musem - Van.

^^  if I am correct...that statue is made out of wood.  It has a number of men inside of a clam shell...which...standing over top is the raven.  I saw that when I was a child.

[P.C.]

You are correct Miss Pit !

I don't even remember how old I was...I think that I still have a postcard of that statue somewhere...I was like 9 or 10 I think.

Was that you and your dog when you were younger, pitbul?  

[P.C.]

Isn't it funny how some things stick with us ?

    *You and puppy?  

[pitbullca.bc]

no...not me...only wish I was that cute..LOL

anyways...pics of me with any dogs were usually german shepherds or weimaraners because my parents had a kennel.  I like seeing cute pics of kids with pits...and like sharing them

[P.C.]

Weinmaraners.....one of my favourite pups.  When I was a teenager, there was this university student that came to stay with the elderly couple next door while he was going to school.  He had a Weinmaraner name Mortikye (sp?).  He had the most incredible personality EVER.  (the dog)

[pitbullca.bc]

LOL...dad has one that is a show stopper.  One show and the dog almost has it's championship.  I can't stand the dog!  LOL..it has ADHD! I swear...beautiful to look at but can be a pain in the arse.

[P.C.]

Hahahahaaa....a weinmarner with ADHD.....PERFECT.  

  Thery really are beautiful doggies though.

  OMG.....Sweeeeet

[pitbullca.bc]

I like them when they are even smaller than that.  There is a person here that has a pic of one...smaller...They look so soft...their ears are too cute..and their blue eyes are just beautiful.  Their nickname is Ghost Dog.  When they move...you can see why.

[P.C.]

Yes....I think I can.  They move like liquid.  Soft  movement.  They sure are a pretty pup.

  I used to have a big ol' dufus Doby.  An 'oversize Doby'  (36 inches at the shoulder)  Huge.  I think he would have probably been considered an embarrassment to his species.  What a goof.

He used to SMILE.  (more a sheepish grin)  Full visual of his dentures....LOL.
