The German Children.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
I've always wanted to post a family photo of my German rifles, well I finally got around to it as I was in and out of the cabinet all weekend. Now that there are nine, it seemed a little too much work to take them outside and set up some sort of photogenic environment - a la SKS Ray. Besides it was cold and windy out today. So I didn't get farther than the kitchen table with the assistance of my furry little helper; one of six that rule the roost. This one thinks she's the Empress and has her paws in everything. Next up is cousin 98M in June.
