"We live in Florida and when we brought plants and such inside due to impending hurricane this large topiary was brought in and Bailey decided she loved it. spent her days sleeping in the pot and then shedding dirt all over the house. She has her own blanket and lots of beds and furniture but the dirt in that pot was better for some reason."

Every party needs a pooper...or two!

"This is Cass, a nine-year-old Weimeraner. He is the smartest dog that I have had, and I have had quite a few. In this picture he is waiting for an OK. He will flip the marshmallow in the air and then catch it. He loves them."
