The Inevitable Srinagar-Poodle Connection

 Now that Gaston ...

... is past the puppy chewing-up-things stage, we decided to put out a silk carpet we bought in Srinagar, Kashmir when dinosaurs walked that earth, well, 35 years ago.

And, pooch with exquisitely refined tastes that he is, our little fellow immediately decided to put it to good and personal use as his new sleeping rug. Better, I'm sure he thinks, than that inferior mohair rug he has been forced to use up to now!
