Haida Gwaii

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:

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.

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

*You and puppy?

pitbullca.bc · Mar 02 07 09:13

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

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)

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.

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

Thery really are beautiful doggies though.

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. · Mar 02 07 09:44

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.
