Holy crap. That's a stunning photo.

From one dog lover to another...what a beautiful dog. The landscape is impressive too...

How many dogs do you have?

Did not work, had a harness on and the wood cart attached, he could have pulled it easily, sit down strike.

Just the one, but he is very big.

Sorry if this was already discussed, but.... Wtf was that "debate" last night?

Are they really the best the Republicans can come up with? These people are a disgrace.

This whole Republican rant about the Iranians detaining our sailors is getting old. It was handled perfectly properly. In truth it was the Revolutionary Guard that took them into custody likely trying to embarrass not the U.S. but the Iranian government and hopefully sinking the nuclear deal which the Revolutionary Guard opposes.

Some history: More than 200 marines were murdered by Hezbollah, an Iranian supported group, in Beirut. Reagan did nothing except withdraw all U.S. forces within a few months. No military retaliation.

The U.S.S. Pueblo was captured by North Korea, two of the sailors killed in the takeover and the remainder held prisoner and tortured for a long time. There was no military response and, in the end, the U.S. signed an apology to North Korea.

In both of those cases the consequences of military overreaction could have been severe. In the Korea incident the consequence could have led to another war on the peninsula.

Time to give the whole thing a rest.

True

You're full of shit. That dog (boy or girl?) didn't even have a dot of mud! I bet you take him/her to the groomers every other week.

It was nuts. Bunch of pissed off assholes. Ugh.

We have mud season when the snow melts, but I live in a semi arid area.

Snow on the ground for the next few months, and then more an issue if it gets really dry and dusty.

Groomers? Not where I live. That is for city folk. The local town has a dog wash, in the summer it is a hose job. I get my moneys worth at the dog wash. Every month would be good but often it goes longer.

He btw.

I'm quite sure no Democrats were harmed during the filming of that debate.

I turned it off after 20 minutes anyway, when they asked Ted Cruz about his Canadian birth.

The ultimate evil empire. If they all disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't shed a tear.
As for providing jobs of any substance

Yeah in the days of the Shah. When that little ray of sunshine the Ayatollah Khomeini took power after living in exile for years in France he had a real hard on for America who he blamed for keeping the Shah on the throne.

Now that Russia has a foot in the door in that part of the world there'll be a close alliance alright but not with America

I got a bit hyper this morning when my bowl of cereal got knocked over by the cat
