"Hello. My name's Harley. I take care of Charlie and URTH Studios in general. I'm the one who stops the sessions with incessant barking when someone comes to the door. I know they think by my mighty hound dog bark I will surely bite their leg off. Good (this is what he wants you to think, anyway) ! That's what they get - invading URTH, huh? Why you, I oughta... wooff! oooow roof roof ruff ruff woof!" stops barking and licks his uh....) "I would love to snack down on whatever it is you're snacking on! Feed me! Fe-e-e-e-d me! I'm always hungry. A dog's gotta be fed occasionally, you know! Hey, now I want to go outsi-i-i-ide! C'mon! Move it! owwooooof!" (as his tail smashes freely into everything around it).
Note: Harley is truly an exceptional hound, Everyone always wants to know what kind of dog he is. I believe he is a blend of Bassett Hound, German Sheperd, Bloodhound and Weinerdog. Make that a big weiner, Harley weighs around 75 pounds and is 4 1/2 feet from nose to tail. His birthday was approximately St. Patricks Day 1990. He loves people and children but I am the fortunate one that he gives his loyalty, attention and friendship to. Anyone entering my house is treated to a "door prize" from Harley. That would be any pillow or nearby object that he can grab fast enough, then present it to you but won't let you have it. That stuff about "man's best friend" is no lie. He's my best friend.
Special thanks to Debbie Swarts & Robin First!
THE DOG'S PRAYER
My DEAR MASTER, TO THEE I PRAY. I do not expect more than you can give. Grant me only the comforts you can afford.
This I promise you, My Master and friend; that I will never quarrel or argue with you, never say unkind things nor point out your faults to you and, most of all, never be disloyal or unfaithful to you.
Though others may desert you and the cares of the world weigh heavily upon you; Though you may have poverty or prosperity; though there be sickness or health; I shall remain your obedient servant and friend.
When danger is present I wish to be near to protect you, sounding the alarm against unwelcome intruders at your door. And if need be, guard you and your possessions with my life.
Dear Master, because I am a domesticated creature I need to be protected against the harsh elements of weather, and I pray you will always give me a clean sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure.
Since I am no longer a predator and cannot hunt, I pray that you daily provide enough nutritious food and fresh water to sustain my well being.
Protect me, I pray, from humans who would do cruel and inhuman things to me. I cannot understand why some of your fellow creatures are so unkind, and thus so unlike you.
I pray you will take care of me if I am ill or wounded, for I also feel pain and have only you to depend on to see that I am tended by loving and competent hands.
As I grow older and my senses fail me; when the infirmities of my later years become too great to bear, please be kind, and help me gently in my pain or passing - for I have served you well.
HEAR THIS PRAYER, MY DEAR MASTER. My fate depends on you.
anon.

Something about the way this image turned out that makes Harley look like something spiritual. Hey, am I finally relating to "Dog is God spelled backwards"? No, I don't think so. 'Santa' could be 'Satan', for that matter!
