A lot of people have these concerns. Some are put off by the peacocks. But David Attenborough called it 'one of our planet's many wonders. "

The dog next to me here on the couch wants a scratch-and-sniff version.

I'm afraid that means that you are going to have to apply peanut butter to your screen.

I’m not allowing Clio the Collie to read this. She has her own maps (one for the morning walk, one for the afternoon walk, one for the evening bathroom walk) and does not take kindly to changes initiated by her two-legged sheep, even when bribed with whatever is in my pocket.

I love this so much. Someone somewhere posted that one time her dog discovered an entire rotisserie chicken under a bush, and for the ENTIRE REST OF HIS LIFE the dog had to stop and investigate that same bush, like it was the Amazing Chicken-Producing Bush For All Time. Maybe it was you, MM! It should have been anyway! xoxoxPP

Andy and I walk the dogs at a spot on the LA "River" that we call Chicken River because 100% of the time, my dog Wally finds a chicken bone.

I had to put him down at 18 1/2 years, because he was blind, lame, but mostly because he couldn’t smell water anymore. Maybe less pork chops and he would’ve lived to be 22+? I would give anything for four more years. It’s nice to have someone I can go to in case I get another pup.

18 and a half years is a VERY long life for a dog. You did good.

Lol. Yeah, I lived on the river in Georgia where my dog could run free, he would disappear for days at a time quite often, and always come back.

My dogs sniff each other's butts if only one goes outside, and then they don't know who is who.
