Dogs get cold too
My dog has very short hair,which is good for me when it comes time to vacuum the house, but terrible for him when it gets cold outside. He'll burrow under blankets, climb into warm laundry and do just about anything he can to stay warm.

So with that in mind, I'm going to give this lady a pass.
Spring Hill, Florida -- Deputies say they caught a woman trying to steal two dog sweaters and seven makeup items from a Wal-Mart in Spring Hill.
The store's loss prevention officer says Christina Malicoate, 44, put all the items in a brown purse and then tried to leave the store without paying for them.
The items include eyeshadow, blush, concealer, skin cream and two dog sweaters.
Maybe she stole the dog sweaters because her dog needed them. As for stealing all that make-up, well, she clearly needed that too.



Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
