    How does one dress for cold? And drive in snow?

    Black ice...especially when it's in the -10 range. Watch entrance and exit ramps on the freeways and go extra slow. Make sure to have a break down kit, etc. and STAY in your car if you should break down. Don't think you can walk it. This is when people parish in cold weather. Every year...

    Dexter: anyone still watching?

    I've never watched it, but dated George King (Jesse Borrego) in the late 80's. Lol.... I think many of you might be to young to remember him from FAME. :rofl1: I'm sorry, this cracks my funny bone.

    Urban chicken keeping

    Oddly I was just looking into this and believe it or not the City of St. Paul, which is very urban, allows 3 hens on a city lot. Sadly, I live in Dakota County and St. Paul is Ramsey county, eventhough it's only 2 blocks away...the border, I mean. So, I am out of luck...two lousey blocks =...

    Breed history experts.... Is this a bull terrier?

    I'd say it's a White Terrier or Old English White Terrier, the old, extinct breed. They have a foundation in many different terrier breeds.

    Stranger: "Wow, what a big Scottie you have there...I didn't realize they are so big." Me: "No, it's a ~Skye~ Terrier, like look up at the blue stuff in the air...from the Isle of Skye. They are big dogs on short legs." Stranger: "Ah, but what a lovely Scottie you have. He's so calm."...

    Healthiest Breeds....

    My breed is not prone to many of the common problems in dogs even with our smaller gene pool. Of course, there also isn't a lot of testing being done for those issues either, but we rarely hear of heart problems, hip problems, eye problems, etc. We do have premature closure of the distal ulna...

    government assistance?

    I have no problem with people who accept assistance because it is needed. Those who abuse the system, however, don't get the same opinion. Heck! As a single filer with no dependents sometimes I wish I could get assistance...:rofl1: My tax bracket sucketh.

    *sigh*

    I'd have no problem co-owning a dog with a local person (age undefined) as long as the parents were involved and they were involved with either a conformation or a sporting event...and/or proved they were the perfect companion for the breed.
