A Silk Purse out of a Sow's Ear
I wanted an EDC for special occasions so when I saw this old cob on Ebay I picked it up.
Herman slimmed her down, gave her a party dress and a little bling.
I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't like dogs...but if my dog doesn't like someone, I'll trust that.

Thanks for the kind words. All the credit goes to Herman, he's the artist, I'm just an ideas man.
