Cookie and his companion are taking dip in their pool on the loading dock of the bird house. Because of Cookie’s bumble foot, he can’t be in water constantly, but he does need baths, so this is how the bird house handles it: Share this: StumbleUpon Digg Facebook Press This Email

There’s a cold front coming through. I had to wear a coat to take my dog Mattie out this morning. You might think this isn’t a very big deal as it’s now December. But I live just south of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the majority of my time is spent either in my work uniform, [...]
