I've known dogs that you couldn't FORCE them to come inside during a farkin BLIZZARD. But let one peal of thunder burp three counties away during a summer shower and they'd be in the house and under the bed.
When I was a kid, we had a half-lab/husky who would only use her dog house in the summer to stay out of the sun. Winters, she would lay beside it and allow the snow to cover her completely. Scare the shit out of you when she would pop out of the drift. If she wasn't outside in the snow she was watching it through the window.
For Immediate Release: There have been coyote sightings near some neighborhoods in the area. Typically, coyotes are nocturnal, but they are not uncommon in the early mornings or evenings. Merely seeing one is not a reason to contact the authorities. However, certain behaviors are cause for alarm, specifically: o Coyote carrying a box marked ACME o Coyote dropping an anvil from a hot air balloon o Coyote posting signs such as “Detour” or “Free Bird Seed.” o Coyote in possession of a giant magnet o Coyote in control of a catapult o Coyote Detonating explosives or TNT o Coyote launching itself from a giant crossbow If any of these behaviors are observed, please contact authorities to see it because that guy NEVER wins. *Please explain this post to the younger generation* Thank you for your support. Have a great week! Beep. Beep.
When I was dairy farming I had a yellow Lab would be curled up outside covered with snow in the morning when I headed to the barn when he had easy access to the barn where it was 50 degrees.
Dairy farming is serious hard work, as is raising any kind of livestock on a large scale. My hat is off for you, my friend! (Any IH guy has to be a good one.)
