    I just love all your avatars and I too associate them quite quickly with the person who posts the thread or reply.
    I particularly like Lisa's and OrioO and of clurse crazycanuk as this Brian May from Queen (the group)

    I guess this is kind of frightening...I think you can see her tonsils!

    It took me over a year to find the image I finally added very recently. Up till then I was avatar-less. I doubt anyone associates me with the pic yet, and I post so infrequently that every time is like the first time . Been around a while, but am a relative unknown. Like the perpetual new kid on the block.

    I have an ancient picture of myself on a trike much like one in the the avatar. Maybe someday I'll get it scanned and use it as my avatar.

    This is a pretty funny thread. Sometimes when I ride I think about my avatar and hope that I look as graceful as she does when I take a drink of my water.

    I do associate avatars with people, but not a face picture, just a personality. I don't think of you all as pigs, etc.

    That being said, I think I'll try out my poochie for my avatar for awhile. She will be pleased with the choice!

    And, just to clear things up, I am not a dog

    Flybye - your dog is beautiful!

    Luv'nAustin - I've always wondered about your Avatar, the rider looks like she only has one leg, where is the other one hiding?

    On the other forum I post to, I have my dogs as my Avatar, but since this one is cycling related, I thought I'd use a picture of me on my bike. Plus, I got that picture just before I joined here, so it was timely. I did use my dog's name as my username though. I have the most mundane name, Jen. Anika is much more memorable. (And she's happier than I am. Not to say I'm not generally happy, but she's pretty much always happy. My other dog is "Furry Kelly", doesn't have as nice of a ring to it as "Happy Anika". And I'm definitely not furry. )

    I also get confused when someone changes their avatar.

    Thanks - I think my pooch is stunning.

    Your poochies are cute! Now we know the story behind the name.

    I knew that you were hoping for a bigger picture of my girl, so I'll indulge
    Just this once.

    I did not know til now that cats had tonsils....

    I have always loved kjay and Southern Belle's avatars. I guess I have a thing for critters with hooves. The ostrich is great. That new Flybye weimeraner is great! And I have always loved the rj...(I forget the #s) broccoli dog.

    I always expect Snap to be shorter then she is when I get together with her for lunch or whatnot.

    No, there is a corner missing in the vinyl where the kitties can get under the house. my sil took the pic when he was sitting at the edge looking out.

    My avatar reminds me of the best ride I've had to date (won my category, was ahead of and injured DH in this shot and the most fun gully run you can imagine), and helps me remember that one day I will be out riding and having fabulous ride days like this again.

    I love the dogs and cats and especially that crazy critters. And, yes, I do know you by your avatar more than by your name. Sometimes a changed avatar makes me think there's someone new onboard, which is still fabulous.

    Hugs and butterflies,

    I am pretty much my avatar- square and a scare!


    If you I ever changed it or you ever saw me in real life, I don't think you could handle it.
