Strider, as in Lord of the Rings hunky-guy. Dan thought of it, and the dog is answering to it just fine. Strider is just a solid rock, had his teeth cleaned last Thursday and didn’t have to have any extracted, so that was good.

Aubrey is just an extremely lively pup. She is very loving, but scared of everything. Annie has her pretty much cowed. She is as fast as greased lightning, and she and Strider race through the backyard at full tilt chasing each other, it’s fun to watch. She needs to be obedience trained so I can put some of that energy to work. As she is, she would pretty much destroy an agility course :)

Glad Aubrey and Strider get along. Teh Kitteh Czars think that Annie has things well in paw.

This late, late Sunday edition of Saturday Night Gun Pron takes care of a couple of loose ends that needed to be tied up.

First, thanks to PE for the tip about the sling loop/bottle opener for M1913 rails. It's the perfect accessory for my Battle Mug, even if I won't be using it on a real firearm.

The neatest part is that the laser still shoots through the slot cut in the part so the cap screw can clamp it to the rail. Open a bottle, or attach a sling, and the laser keeps on lasing.

Second, for all of you blade fans, an Indian reproduction of a WW1 British trench knife. The reproduction is rude and crude, but so were the originals. As opposed to a Swiss army knife, this one seems to have only one function.

The grip is comfortable in the hand, making use easier and more effective.

Robbins & Dudley went high-tech in a number of features. The handle and knuckle guard are smokeless-powder-age aluminum, while the blade is a cut-down surplus bayonet blade. I believe regular cutting, skinning, etc. are pretty much impossible, since nothing is sharpened except the very tip.

State and local knife laws are even more convoluted than gun laws, and many localities frown on daggers. But it would make a fine letter opener and conversation piece for your desk at work.
