American. Pug nose, Bug eyes, Loves hamburgers! ;-) And he doesn't need groomed, he needs mowed, raked, scrubbed and polished! He was given very little care or attention and was pretty much doomed to the pound. I was pretty much going to give up on him because of his not fitting in at my house.

Negative on the deaf, slightest sound outside and he's at the door raising heck! I'm starting to think dumb is unfair, just doesn't seem to have ever had any fair and consistent discipline. He's starting to understand me and my 'commands' a bit. He knows I won't hurt him, but knows I'm serious

Wheatfield, it would be interesting to see some side-by-side comparisons of noise -- *ist D vs. your new toy, same ISO (say, 200), same subject, same angle of view. Your wish is my command. I have a few days off coming up this weekend. I'll try to post something on either Saturday or Sunday.

After the original post I looked it up. Reindeer is the name of the domesticated animal, carribou the name of the wild animal. Interestingly enough, no one has been able to domesticate current carribou. Either those cavemen were smarter than we are, or the animal was dumber back then (grin).
