Please don't call animal control. There is a doggie door on the sliding glass door so they have freedom to go in and out.
Koa loves being out in this weather. BTW, it is 12 degrees right now.

My Shepherd Husky mix likes to go lay in the sun... I don't get it. He's even got black fur so he comes in hot to the touch. He's supposed to be a snow dog!

Well, it was going to be a surprise but like my life I blew it. I’m thinking of lining them up, reverse bleeding apple, war paint, bleeding apple.

Oh wow! Very nice Kevin! To me a scoly garden would be the ultimate scene in a tank. Imagine all 3 with feeders out in the same picture!

You have one of Kevin's torches!? That is really cool, and a good looking one too.
Yep, met up with him last Saturday and got it. Then got kicked out of the lfs for associating with him and aa cop followed me all the way back to Pennsylvania. Was the weirdest thing.
