I have a hate-hate relationship with dogs. Too
many years of trying to vaporize the ones that thought my garden
was an outhouse. I can't understand why anyone would put up with their
smell, their hair, their noise, and having to walk the silly animals when
it's 6 degrees outside (assuming they walk them, as opposed to letting
them roam free).
We always found it very enjoyable walking our dog. In the bad weather
they get you up off the comfy sofa at least twice a day and help you get
much needed exercise.

Don, you're responding to my shadow, the guy who wishes he was me. :-) But
still....if it requires a dog to tow you off the couch, you need more than a
dog. :-)




Last night, I put some leftovers out for the neighborhood critters. Yjr
possum showed up first, snatched a piece of salmon, and ran into the
woods. The raccoons took off with some leftover Italian bread, and our
beautiful fox made two trips, for two large meatballs.

No poops on the lawn, plenty of entertainment, no fights.

Indoors, we have cats. The only time they leave the house is for the
annual vet visit. They like to watch the outdoor critters from their
window perches.
