I suggest you define what cold is to you however so the answers will be more accurate.

1. Thinking about it.
2. Duh! Maine is cold in winter.
3. No doghouse - (s)he'd have a comfy log cabin with a wood stove (our house). Pretty easy for a critter to choose a comfort zone.
4. No longer than me or my wife would be. That could be tougher on a thin-coated dog like a pit-bull, but we're not leaning that way, though some of the sweetest, clingiest dogs I have known have been pit-bulls or mixes involving that breed. They are intelligent and attentive dogs and they can wear you out at play-time. Baseball pitchers should all own pit-bulls or mixes to keep training in the off-season. They can retrieve one more toy than you can throw EVERY day.

That would be a good comeback if not for the fact that Danger typed 61 characters in his post (including spaces) and you only typed 21 characters (including spaces and carriage returns).

I was about to say, "You mean I was right?"

Except Redbelly's is obviously 25 just from taking even a few seconds to look at it.

But Danger's is at least twice as long as Redbelly's.

The only fair way to resolve this is to do a wife-swap and then poll them. :biggrin:

And that wasn't a typo... I didn't mean pole them... again... :rolleyes:
