snowdog

Our dog Hank ( aka Dufus) usually spends his winter safely tucked in the garage on his old couch cushion. But every once in a while he ventures out and enjoys the great outdoors. On a recent snowday he just parked himself out on the patio during the snow as if he were a black polar bear. He was a stray that just showed up in our yard late one fall and we couldn't get him to sleep in a dog house for anything. He spent most of his first winter on the farm sleeping out under a tree. The next several years he would sleep in his dog house, sometimes sharing it with the cats. He has turned into a wimp in his old age, and rarely leaves the "comfort" of the garage. He is a handsome beast, fat though he is!
