If I ever am dumb enough to get another dog, that son of a buck is gonna have legs about 12 inches long, but now have a shitzi (sp) and just spent about 30 minutes in back yard, shoveling a place for her to take a crap and pee, go figure, dumb I guess, but snow twice as deep as she is tall, she had better do her business quick, cause don't know if I'd do it again or not.
