All's well that ends well.

It's been so cold it's a miracle that she survived.

It was the picture that captured my attention.
We even had some snow on Tuesday.

I’m suprised that they didn’t cite the dog for tresspassing.

Shelties have a double coat. I’m sure it helped.

Gibson even refused to be rescued when her owner came to the reservoir on Tuesday.

Is it possible that dogs, like people, become suicidal?

Ya know,he’d probably say that.

I never liked him,but the day he made that comment about the Cambridge police I almost went nuts.

He’s an arrogant ass.

“... dogs, like people, become suicidal?”

I was wondering if the hunger, thirst, cold and fear didn’t temporarily make the doggie a little nutty. Perhaps survival mode went into affect period. I am sure once he is home with food, warmth, water, and lots of treats... he will be his old self again. Just a thought.
