LOL!
Clothes, in Florida?
OK, I'll bite....why?
As to the back up, Rick, that's Loki, my 15 month old German shepherd/Doberman cross who tips the scales at about 115 lbs....the day I got him, at 4 weeks old, he inhaled a large cereal bowl of spicy chili without hesitation, a definite portent for the future.
While I use the affection method of training, on a partituarly stressful day I swatted his butt and broke 2 bones in my hand, which he took as an invitation to play..... I learn faster than he does.
Back to the photo....the shield is actually larger than many used like this and would actually stop a swing from a full sized sword if it had to.
As I said, when I recieved it, I was much more impressed than I had expected to be.
Any further info for the earlier Cameroon attributions would be appreciated.
