My old girl giving me attitude for putting one of my old t-shirts on her. I don't know what's over one eye. I went back out to check and it was gone. The feral gene makes her pretty tough. She used to be a dark red color but like me, she has faded some over the years. In summer, when it's hot, she digs a den under the old tree stump like a wild dog would do. I think that's why she prefers the igloo doghouse.

I used to have a big old “outside dog”.
He had a big-enough dog house and I put carpet flaps on the door opening.

In the Winter I would get him a bale of hay, open it and stuff the whole thing inside the dog house. He would only come out to eat and relieve himself, but otherwise loved it in there. You could look out and see only his nose poking out between the carpet flaps. If a vehicle drove in, he would simply bark from the door of his comfy dog house.

The second year I did that, I plopped the bale down in front of his house and he immediately jumped right up on top of it and stood there, as if to say: “My damn bale of hay”.
