@shadygreenthumb: I love that suet feeder too! I've never seen one like it around these parts; very cute and I know the birds will enjoy their suet treats from that cute frog.
@greene: I think our Bo is beautiful too and he sure has brought a lot of joy into our lives already! Golden Retrievers are known to shed a lot but so far I haven't had to vacuum any more than usual. The dog has a very thick coat and he gets brushed/combed every day with a special comb to get to the heavy undercoat so maybe that's keeping the shedding to a minimum. Umm, regarding my husbands Christmas present to himself ... we live in Florida and my husband has never worn a sweatshirt in the almost 48 years I've known him. He's not fond of long sleeves at all. Most days of the year he wears a short sleeved dress shirt and tie for teaching but every so often he'll wear a long-sleeved dress shirt. He has a couple of light weight jackets and will wear one if temp's drop below 50ยบ but he doesn't like heavy jackets at all.
