Thanks, Randy. Might have to track down one of those wolf/Baal coins.

 

chrsmat71 => Max rocks!!

... but geeessh, now I feel guilty for only showing "Larry" ...

Ummm, please say "hey" to Larry's big-brother, Buster (amazingly, he has total mental-game over his far larger, but younger sister ... funny how it works, eh?):

 

Heres my pups

 

I have a lizard that comes in under my door every late afternoon, climbs up a long skirt in my closet to sleep, and then goes back out in the morning. Does that count as a pet?

 

Here's my baby...

Baby Fergie...


4 years old..

Ya, she's a eater..

 

I can show you "my" hound too (same type as the OP)


C. Postumius, Denarius
Rome mint, 74 BC
Bust of Diana right, bow and quiver above shoulder
Hound running right, C POSTVMI and TA (ligate) at exergue
4.0 gr
Ref : RCV # 330, RSC, Postumia # 9

It's actually the only coin at home belonging to my wife. I gifted her with this coin after we lost our greyhound she had chosen, raised and cherished for 15 years

Q

 

Wow, that's a nice thought (I hope that she is also a coin-collector and recognized your good intentions) ...

Oh, and by the way => super coin!! (great strike, centering & toning!!)
=> very "flashy"

 

Gawd, I so hate tacky doggie pictures. Woof woof.

 

Forgot about this hound coin I bought a month or so ago. It's not in great shape but it's an uncommon (rare?) issue and what few I've seen are not much better.



THRACE, Madytos.
c. 350 BC
13 mm, 1.86 gm
Bull butting right
Hound seated right, grain ear behind; Μ-ΑΔΥ
SNG Cop. 923-6

 

No she's not a colector fortunately, we would be living in the street : just one spending fortunes in frivolities is enough in a house.
But she keeps this one, together with a quarter from our first stay in the USA

Q

 

Here's a decent Postumius which didn't sell in today's Roma auction. You should be able to buy it post-auction. (£80) The Hadrian Africa I got last month was an immediate post auction buy. I was at work and missed bidding on it-- I emailed them a minute after it closed (no bidders) and got it for the opening price.

Hey TIF, I hope you don't mind me using your hound-thread as a dog-photo show?!!


We just took a photo of Larry (now 2.5 years old), to compare against a classic puppy-photo ... man, she sure has grown-up, eh?

Cheers, brothers and sisters!! (autumn/winter is here!!)





... notice the number of "background-boards" in each of the photos!! (cute)

 

Awww, what a cutie.

I don't mind the tangents. It's fun to see where these threads go!

 

I love dogs. Larry looks like my kind of dog.

 

Gee Steve i think Larry looks a lot like you...just sayin'...

 

man! i hope larry doesn't grow that much in the next 2 years!

 

Wow Steve, snow! We don't get that down here, just rain.

BTW Larry is SO CUTE!!!

 

Snow? Is that what that white stuff is? I thought it was white sand.

 

you can have all the snow.
