Re: Dog Fun Facts
It's a fact (is it fun??) that my dogs hate the rain. The heat. It's a fact that my dogs can drag me for a 1/2 hour walk and then tug o' war out back in -12 weather. Bastardo's.

Mine don't care what the weather is like for the most part. However in the deep freeze, I bundled up and ventured forth... Fergus booked it home and Karma sprinted most of the walk to keep warm, and Cyren waited to get home to play "drag mommy through the snow by her pant leg" to finish off the last stages of hypothermia.
Now I am succumbing to her thrashing me with couch pillows and playing stafford races in the upstairs hallway. Hoping for a Chinook, because I am losing my mind. -29 right now, please kill me.
It doesn't matter how good looking he or she is, some where, someone is tired of his or her's crap.

No kidding... I think I need a St Bernard to carry brandy around it's neck for days like this. Such hardship you guys endure...

Dog's 24-strong litter 'a record'
A mastiff dog is set to break a world record after giving birth to a litter of 24 puppies.
Breeders Damian Ward and his girlfriend Anne Kellegher, from Manea, Cambs, had only been expecting two-year-old Tia to give birth to 10.
Unfortunately, four of the pups have now died, but the remaining pups - which are now seven weeks old - are thought to be worth about £1,000 each.
A Guinness World Records spokesman said the current record stands at 23.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Re: Dog Fun Facts
ha.. I shoveled for over 2 hours, then walked the dog twice. I survived a winter in Whitehorse, dropped down to minus 40. Tires froze to the ground. Nothing closed either.

Re: Dog Fun Facts
Rally together weather wimps! My doggie had to stay inside yesterday. Like hell I was going out.
I love it when she digs around in the snow and gets a big white mustache on her black nose though. Pretty darn cute.
Maybe I will be more brave tonight. Not really fair to her, but she's put me through a lot this week herself. Eating things she shouldn't, injuring herself, silly girl.
