Funnily enough I am (thinking of) looking (but not very hard :) )for an image of a dog that is half yellow & half grey, or maybe flickers between being yellow & grey, for my avatar here. See my tag line for the reason.

Tough call for an avatar with such exacting requirements. Is this any good?

If so, here's a ready-made 80 x 80 px version. It's about time you had not only an avatar, but also a tag line!

I think I used "tag line" incorrectly there. What I meant was what goes at the bottom of my posts, not what goes under my user name & avatar.

Thanks for the artwork, but it's not quite what I envisaged. You may have inspired me to actually search a little.

Yeah, I got you when you said 'tagline'. I just forgot the proper name for the funny motto many of us have which you don't yet.

Thats called a custom title Oskar, and yes I think Retriever deserves one, but he needs to be nominated and seconded in the proper thread. ;)

An Avatar is well overdue for him!

I would be able to retrieve something from that if it was upside down :)

Don't put your efforts down haggisv - it is more effort than I have put into the search.

... you can't get a ball back in doubles because your partner is in the way but you still apologise for not getting the ball back.

I did this on the weekend at least a couple of times :(

A return to the topic.

You know you are playing a retriever when your opponent has disappeared behind barriers/on the floor but SOMEHOW the ball still comes back! Magic!

Many thanks, for both the avatar & the compliment Oskar, I have been meaning to get an avatar for simply ages, but as usual apathy rules.
