This is my baby boy, Ziggy, who generously provides the black dog hair for my formulas that call for it. He’s going a little grey and he’s a bit weird in the rear end due to a car accident a few years ago, but he loves to be petted and brushed and he is my favorite dog of the whole menagerie back home. He personally would never fight with a cat (because he would get his toy-dog lopsided ass kicked), but his hair’s quite useful for “fighting like cats and dogs” formulas anyway 🙂
