The Sealyham Terrier is brave and spirited, but not as spiky as smaller terriers. These sturdy, outgoing companions are recognized by their 'fall,' the mass of hair covering the forehead.

Last Friday I was in town to visit a friend and we walked to the English Garden in Munich.I saw this monument and asked my friend if Gaia would dare to jump up for a picture. I think she understood and there she was in the very next second. She is my little mountain goat ! Jazzy my friend's Sealyham Terrier was quite astonished and the people around , too !

These are charismatic and characterful little dogs, good working dogs, good guard dogs and good pets. For a while they were the 'must-have' accessory of royalty and Hollywood icons.
The Sealyham is now sadly classified by the UK Kennel Club as the most endangered native breed.

A name I have heard many times in the course of my life and yet I could tell you little about him. Lennox Robinson looking rather dapper with a fine wool overcoat, suit and dicky bow tie!
We are back though many of those who normally visit us here will not be back just yet! For all of you may we wish you a Peaceful, Happy and safe New Year and especially for our friends in Australia. We watch in horror at the fires and you are all in our thoughts and prayers!
UPDATE: Thanks especially to suckindeesel for giving us Tim Pat Coogan’s lovely description of this “tall, thin, tweedy man”...
“When I knew him, he lived in a flat, large and comfortable, but still only a flat ... at Longford Terrace, Monkstown. ... One of the great sights of Monkstown in those years was Lennox, a tall, thin, tweedy man with a distant expression, being led by a very tiny Sealyham dog, at the end of a very long lead, on his peregrinations to and from Goggins pub, the very epitome of the Irish expression ‘the relics of auld decency’.”

I'd planned this upload for some time although originally I was going to wait another year. And then I forgot all about it. This morning, I was looking for a photo to commemorate our anniversary. Roses, Crater Lake, our new puppy (at the time), and then I remembered this experiement: a Kodacolor slide of our first apartment (duplex) in Oregon on January 26, 1965.
One year, and not the foggiest idea of what lay ahead. You can read all you want to in this image. I see that I was a little pigeontoed or just afraid of slipping and falling in this "snow storm" (two inches).
Those were great days. The duplex sure beat "graduate married student housing at the Amazon Project" in Eugene, OR! Sorry, I don't remember why it was officially named the 'Amazon Project, but Jeff Bezos hadn't even been born so "two day delivery" was the last thing on our minds.
Oh, the Chrtistmas tree? Well, this was a cul de sac with two duplexes and seven homes and, half occupied by graduated students and half (one vacancy) owned or rented by people who lived and worked in this lovely part of the city. The 12 people got together at Thanksgiving - halycon days - and decided to have a communal Christmas tree. The only thing we didn't decide on was who would be responsible to haul it away after the follydays. (It finally fell to the one guy who owned a '59 Chevy pickup, and by Feb. 1, it was gone.) Can you imagine: we exchanged little gifts - no more than two bucks - we were students, waitresses, waiters, sales people at the Villa Mart, the new "super-duper store" that was a pre-cursor to Costco.
AnywayS, my bride and I along with Perky, our Sealyham terrier who was the deciding vote for all questions that started with "Who wants..." lived here for a little over two years when I received my degrees and my wife, her's. And then, my first job with an annual salary. From Oregon to Nevada: talk about culture shock.
So, to my bride, happy anniversary. Right now, I'm waiting for her to return from Costco. Some things never change except in those days, we had one car, a Chevy II with an AM radio (and no more than two stations we could pick up) and seat belts (very early adopters even though the dealer wanted to charge us $100 !!!!). But, GM went on strike and, after waiting six weeks and telling the dealer to forget it, threw in the radio and seat belts! Wheeling and dealing, circa 1964!

Oh, for those interested in low tech, no tech photography: this is a snapshot of a slide that I had printed (8x10) and then shot handheld with my Kodak Retina IV, and after 59 years hadn't faded. It doesn't look any better converted to B&W, but we didn't care. The slide has been digitized, but not labeled by name or date by my SIL, and so it's in one carousel tray or another which "I've been getting around to" for well over 30 years.
And why in the group "Wildlife of the West?" Well, it's "my" group and wouldn't be turned down, and I can't think of another where it "fits." In case you haven't noticed, I've posted exactly five images of people or, to be accurate, one person in my nine years here. That one person is my Munchkin.

Cecil Aldin's 'The Parson' 1901 hangs above our fireplace and is still available as a print (please visit www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Parson-Posters_i6410962_.htm).
Cecil Charles Windsor Aldin (28 April 1870 – 6 January 1935) was a British artist and illustrator best known for his paintings and sketches of animals, sports, and rural life.
Born in Slough, he was educated at Eastbourne College and Solihull Grammar School. He studied anatomy at South Kensington, and animal painting under William Frank Calderon. He lived at The Abbots, Sulhamstead Abbots from 1913 to 1914 and was church warden of St Mary's, the local church.
Early influences included Randolph Caldecott and John Leech. His drawings first made their way into print in "The Building News" of 12 September 1890, and began to appear throughout many popular journals and magazines; his work was published in "The Graphic" in 1891.
His illustrations include the original 1893 magazine publications of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the 1910 edition of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers and The Bunch Book (1932, about Bunch, a Sealyham Terrier) by James Douglas. He also published a short series of fully illustrated books in 1923, Old Manor Houses and Old Inns.
His village scenes and rural buildings were executed in chalk, pencil and wash sketching was used for country scenes. Aldin was an enthusiastic sportsman and a fox hunting "Master of Hounds" and many of his pictures illustrated 'the chase'.
An early work on a tiger resident at a Zoo was studied from life, but found to be a copyright of the ideas in a photograph by Gambier Bolton. A popular book by Aldin was Sleeping Partners, a sequence of pastel drawings of his dogs on a couch. It included his Irish Wolfhound and his favourite model, Crackers, a Bull Terrier with a dark patch over one eye.
He also did some work for Cadburys advertising. For more information about him please visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Aldin and www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y205/m10/abu0153/s07
And thanks to Three D Photos for all his hard work in identifying him to me! You can visit his excellent photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/digital-shutterbug/

I've had this button on my bulletin board for forever, and it was already more than 10 years old when I acquired it when I worked for the publisher. It's a collectible button, library promotion material for famous author/illustrator Maurice Sendak's children's book Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must Be More To Life," published in 1967. An early chapter book, Higglety Piggley Pop! is the story of Jenny, a Sealyham terrier, who abandons her safe home and seeks Experience, so she can become the star of the World Mother Goose Theatre. It's a dated classic that's now out-of-print, but full of charm and humor.
I was originally going to use it for Macro Monday's challenge "squared circle," but it looks so dirty I rejected it. The camera is merciless in picking up details our eyes tend to gloss over. I did clean it as best as I could, but it is ephemera from 1967. It's not supposed to look new.
HIgglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Must be More To Life was published by Harper Junior Books in 1967 and won countless "Best" awards for children's chapter books that year.

We got these Poul Kjaerholm PK31 chairs in Stockholm. They've become the preferred beds for Otis and Logan, our Sealyham terriers." From House Beautiful, Feb. 2009.

"Although small, the Sealyham Terrier is the embodiment of power and determination – a true terrier! The Sealyham’s wiry, weather-resistant double coat should be all white. Lemon, tan or badger-colored markings are allowed on the head and ears. Very keen and alert, the breed was used as a hunter in the past, although today they excel as a family pet and participant in Earthdog competitions." - American Kennel Club
My most favorite dog of my life was this Sealyham Terrier - Daisy. As much as I love all my dogs, I'll never love another one like I did her. I couldn't live through losing her again. This was the photo put on my change-of-address cards. Sept. 1991.
After seeing Sealyhams at the dog show, i did this quick acrylic painting on 5" x 7" matboard. July 2014.
Great-great-grandfather of Pearson's Jinglebell Fantasy (AKA "Sam"), Coveham Cadet lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, and belonged to Mrs. W. Josten.
These competitors seem the mild mannered type - but sometimes things don't go quite so well ......

No Trouble to Milk a Wild Cow
John Citizen, who sometimes has difficulty in milking his cow in the peace of suburbia, might well have taken some tips from the wild-cow milking event at the Kensington Rodeo today.
The "cows" in this instance were wild steers from the Northern Territory. Horsemen had to ride out, rope the steers, and then - while a helper held the rope - take a tape off the steer's back leg. If you think this sounds too tough, you should have seen Dan Crotty and Greg Canavon do it. To them it was just like eating porridge.
Crotty did it in 58 seconds and Canavon in 60 seconds.
Dog Steals Event
One spectator remarked: "Well, I don't mind now if old Bess does kick a bit at milking tonight." One of the highlights of this wild-cow milking event was provided by a small Sealyham dog which had been a disturbance on the oval for some time when a wild steer made for it.
A horseman headed the steer off to the gate, and then swung his lasso to get the dog. Spectators thought it was "Goodby dog," but full of initiative, the dog made for the oval fence about six times its height and jumped over it.
During the "bull-dogging" competition, a steer jumped a gate, causing the crowd to scatter in all directions.
Later, when Dan Crotty and Tex Mooney were giving an exhibition of "bull stretching" a similar incident occured. A girl was knocked down by a bull and received slight abrasions.
