Shhhhh! Keep quiet!

Dougie's on the couch, cartching a few z's after a tough morning:

Dougie's our two-year old Collie, and enjoys a good snooze as well as the next dog. And, yes, his rear legs sometimes hang off the end of the couch because he has such a tremendous bulk to haul around.

Rest up, Dougie!

Baby, it's COLD outside!

Here's a picture of the thermometer that's on one of the windows at the Presto Dog Phunny Pharm in a rural area in PA:

As you can see, it's registering about 3 degrees here at 7:45 a.m.! But, my four Shetland Sheepdogs and Collie will soon be venturing out into the pasture land we call out back yard to get some exercise.

Off in the distance, to the right, you can see a corn silo that was used by the farmer next door to feed his cows & pigs. What a life our dogs now lead!

UPDATE: I took the Presto Dog pack outside around 10:00 a.m. before venturing out with the bride to do some chores. It had warmed up to around 21 degrees or so and beleive it or not, it was noticably warmer. I can attest to this fact because it didn't hurt when a slight wind blew in my face.
