Then, he posed for my girl. One thing Dovah was very proud of was his amazingly long and full beard. In fact, he was famous for it. Look at the juicy lusciousness of that beard (after a roach in the mud).
Here's a close up of his juiciness. At last count, his beard was 8 inches long when combed out!
Dovah was such a good boy! My girl and I miss him and his clownish antics terribly! It's just not right seeing Sassy and Mackie without Dovah trotting over to stir things up.
This contest is open to any dog, hammie or cat out there who wants to grow their beard. The rules are very simple. If you want to play, peemail me or leave a comment on this post. Measure what beard you have now & include that in your peemail or comment. You can provide periodic updates on your blog with your progress if you like, but on January 1, 2008, everydog (hammie or cat) who is participating will take a final measurement.
There will be 2 winners. The dog, hammie, or cat whose beard had the greatest change in length from now until January 1st will win for greatest improvement. The second winner will be the dog, hammie or cat who has the overall longest beard. That way, if you normally don't let your beard grow & don't have one now, you still have a chance to win. There will be a prize for each winner!
Whatdya say? Are you going to throw your beard into the ring? Dovah, Maggie and I DARE YOU. Nope. We DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!

Stanley,
I have no beard and tiny whiskers so I cant take part in this.
We hate it when dogs die....it is so sad and always the hardest part in life.
Hi Stanley,
Sorry to hear abt Dovah Doo... please give his family a kiss from me and Moosie.
Ok I am off to measure my 'beard' (or what's left of it now cos I just cannot resist a dare, especially a Double Dog Dare!!)
Wuff,
Huskee Boy
Hey Stanny, Very sad news about your friend. He must have been a fabulous pal if he hung with the likes of you. I can't actually grow a beard, but I'm wondering if you have any rules against extensions?
Stanley Manley!
I'm Ralph and just wanted to say I'm sorry for your pal. Hang in there buddy.
I have a little bit of a beard but I want to play. I hope it grows longer, I think I'm coming up on my teenage years, well in doggie years. Yippee!
Woof,
Ralph
Hello Stan,
I am so sorry for Dovah Doo... He is now playing with my Oscar ...
Kisses, Faya
We are so sorry to hear about Duvah Doo, Stanley! You love a wonderful friend and that hurts! Eight inches is an awesome length!
You know I'm in at 3"! Stoopid beard hasn't grown any more yet! It's time for avocado treatment!
Mitch says he's game too! He's logging in at 1 1/2"!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
I am so sorry you lost your friend, Stanley. It is so hard to say goodbye to those we love.
Unfortunately, Joey and I can't grow beards, but if we could, we would! :)
Puggy kisses

Put me on the roster...I bet Dovah is gonna laugh at my tiny beard! I will have mom measure tonight and blog an update.
I remember when we went to park to play with him. He had such a wonderful, defined face. Mom fell in love with him right away...
Run Dovah Run!
Much love to you Stanley,
Herc
Hi Stanley,
Sorry to hear about your friend - he looks like he was a lot of fun. Thanks for telling us about him!
I have a small white beard, (goatee) and I want to play... but I don't think it grows!! (And my mom said she hopes not...)
Love Clover xo
Wow Dovah was so beautiful. You must feel awful Stanley. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Collies can't grow beards. It would be like putting a beard on an aardvark or something. But hey I got enough fur everyplace else right?
Hi Stanley!!!!
I am sorriest to hear about the passing of your friend:( I am gladdest that you got to play so recently and that you two had so much funnest! Thinking of YOU!
Your Friend,
Putter ...:)
Sorry to hear about your friend... it's always so sad when dogs die. But this sounds like a great contest! I can't wait to see everyone's beards growin'!
Sparky
Aw, what a wonderful tribute to your friend! Sadly, we don't grow beards... just bum hair... oh well...
Go stan, we're rooting for you!!! Are you going to take supplements and vitamins to get it to grow faster?
Hey Stanley, we're really sorry to hear about your buddy Dovah. We hope his folks are doing ok.
As you know, Willow and I are in for the beard growing challange. Here's to Dovah!

We are so sorry for your friend Dovah Doo.
That contest is going to be a great tribute for him!
I want to see all those long beards!

Hi Stanley,
I told my mom I wanted to join the beard contest, to make Dovah Doo proud, but she is being quite the evil one and refusing. Apparently, I tend to keep a lot of water in my beard, that ends up on the floor, couch, table, counter...you name it I'll get it wet. So, no contest for me, but in my heart, my beard will be long and full and Dovah Doo will be smiling down at silly little me!
Your Pal,
Kirby
I could probably grow a great beard by the first of the year, but I will leave the contest to all those pups, kits and hammies in blog land. What a nice tribute to a great friend.
i know u must miss dovah alot...
Aw, that's so sad about your buddy - that was indeed one damn fine beard he had going (especially when "enhanced" with lots of dirt).
Much Aire Love,
Bogart
Aw Stanley.. So sorry to hear about Dovah Doo. He sure is a great Airedale buddy to you.
Hammies can take part too? Cool.. But I dont think I can a beard. I dont care. I'm gonna get measured over the weekend.
~ Girl girl
I am so sorry to hear that Dovah went to the bridge!!! I guess it is good that he went fast and didn't have to suffer, but it would be better if no one ever would have to go to the bridge.... Purrs to you, and Dovah's family!
I also need your help to make a decision - if you have time, come and take the poll at my blog? Thank you!
Karl
Bummer! I have no beard at all... Hey, can count on my tail? Hehehe! Sorry to hear about Dovah, he was one handsome stud. Poor fella but his beard was really nice & long! Sending his hoomans some Golden love.
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
Sorry to hear about your friend, kisses and nose licks to his family.
Simba xx
we are so sorry to hear about your buddy :( we sure wish we could grow a beard in his honor, but we dont have that kind of facial hair!!
Hello there young Stan,
So sorry to read about Dovah. I'm sure Oscar is looking after him in and they're having a fun old time together.
I will accept your beardy challenge. At the moment my main goal is growing back the middle section of my moustache on the bridge of my nose that my old groomer seemed to think needed shaving. I was too polite to say don't. I will measure and let you know.
Toodle pip,
Harry x
Hey Stan,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. He must have been one great buddy!! I don't have any beard...so looks like there's no way I can pawticipate in this contest. May the best beard win!
Stanley,
How sad to hear about the sudden passing of your friend Dovah. At least he didn't suffer much. He looked like a super dog. What a lovely tribute you are giving him.
My beard is about 3 inches and I was thinking about joining your contest until I read that Dovah's beard was 8 inches. I don't think I have a chance, but I would still like to play. My beared is about 2 inches. My mom will measure as soon as I wake up from my nap and then send you an exact figure.
Hi Stanley,
Im sorry to hear about Dovah. How sad! It looks like he enjoyed his last few days..and thats good. Glad you got to spend some time with him!
I don't have a beard to grow..but im anxious to watch all you other pups!
Love Toby
We lost our little Buddy this week too. It's tough isn't it? FAZ
Stanley!!
I am sorry to hear about Dovah Doo.... He seems a very healthy boy. Please send him and his family a hug from me. Thank you for sharing his great pictures with us.

Stan, Sorry to hear about your friend. Dovah looked like an AWESOME old guy and a great friend. Roaching? Dirty beards? A dog after my own heart. It is nice of you to make a tribute to him. I will work on a beard. Maybe a Van Dyke.
wally.
Hey pal, really sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend. He's gone to a better place.
As for the beard contest, I'm up for it! My beard is fulsome and rather splendid at the moment. Will measure and give you the details shortly...J x
Stanley:

Please convey our sorrow of his passing to his Mum & Dad and Mackie & Sassy we have them in our prayers - Don't worry about Dovah Doo - Ocsar, Rascal, Rosie & Bert and all the other wonderful Dales were there to greet him and help cross the bridge.....
Oh, Mom had brunch today with Puff's Mom and Grammie - and some other folks with rescue - GUESS WHAT -- Nina one of the five rescued dales is gonna have pups...So rescues' gonna have lots of pups to love !!!
Email us later.....
I'm sorry to hear about Dovah's passing. He looked like a happy and well-loved guy. Love, Martha
oh I just popped by to say a Sunday Hello, and I read this sad news about Dovah. So sorry, he looks a lovely boy too especially with that magnificent beard.
I just wish I could grow a beard in his honour.
I am a Lab Collie X so beards are not my thing, but I will try valiantly to grow one in his honour.
Sad licks, Marvin xxxxx
Poor poor boy - we are very sad for you Stanley - and Dovah's family too.....
As for beard growing - I used to have a lovely long beard, but then we got Gertrude pup and over the last year she has 'trimmed' my beard somewhat. It is growing back now, but I feel a little unlucky in this competition. Still, I'll give it me best shot!
Love Molly (and Gertrude)
xx
Oh StanMan - I am so sorry about your pal! That was a great tribute to him. I would like to join the beard contest. Right now my beard is 2mm.
Ike
WOW!! After seeing those pictures Mom said that she's glad we don't have beards.....he he he
Love, Seadra and Zoe
Hey Stanley, we're very sorry to hear about Dovah going over to the Bridge in such a hurry like that.
one time, Bailey grew his beard and moustache, but mom didn't like the beard and she just shaved it off. so we're not gonna enter your contest, but we'll be watching to see how all of the participants are doing and to cheer you on.
woofers
Stanley - are you up for some distraction?
If so, I would like you to be a judge in the noms costume contest at Skeezix Halloween contest blog.
