    Why is the Stetson Whippet so prized?

    Paddy: the first photo is the example for me why Whippets are so prized. simple, elegant, dashing, confident; both the hat and you, in that photo. If anyone has any more questions about how & why-a picture's worth... thanks. my daily ration of "somebody got it RIGHT!!"

    Shoe Care / Shoe Shine

    ouch. snakeskin doesn't like getting wet. neither do snakes, for that matter. but to the subject-with pedestrian exotics like lizard and ostrich, a good polish like Meltonian should suffice-it feeds the skin, helps keep it elastic, which is probably the most important thing, and will help...
