I read somewhere that Sibes were genetically closer to wolves than any other breed, but I can't find the source! This article says Samoyeds are closer. Hmmmmm. Anyway, thought it was interesting.

How are you all coping with the weather with your doggies..!! Rico is kind of struggling a bit from around 7:00pm onwards with it.. He has constant cold water down and I've took my rugs up so he has cold floors to lie on .. He has had a few rocket lollys and his favourite frozen yogurt and my rooms are cool as I've closed my curtains early. .. But my poor baby he just doesn't know what to do with himself..

A 71-YEAR-OLD grandmother has been tagged after failing to have her sick dog put down. Pauline Spoor, 71, loved her loyal chocolate labrador Dexter so much she couldn't face having him destroyed - even though the frail and infirm dog was up to 18 years old and struggled to walk. RSPCA officials broke into her home in Hattersley, Greater Manchester and found Dexter suffering from a string of medical problems. He was put down by a vet the following day. Pooch-loving pensioner Pauline must now wear the electronic tag for three months and stay at home between 9pm and 6am. Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3720113/N…

So - I love to fish! I love the thrill of the fight when I reel 'em in. The biggest fish I caught was a 5 pound small mouth bass up in Lake Restoule, Ontario, Canada. It was delicious! This is a thread to talk about fishing, share stories, and to maybe share recipes with other anglers. I only recently switched from a catch & release license to a license where you can keep the fish. Last summer was my first time killing a fish (threw it in ice/ice water) and cooking it up on the BBQ. It was small mouth bass (around 3 pounds) and I just poured lemon juice over it while it was on the BBQ. It was the best tasting fish I have ever had in my life! …
