Due to circumstances that are not interesting to go into, I have my exH's dog living with us for a year while he is away overseas. I did not volunteer for this but this is my biokids' pet and well, it is what it is.

Again due to circumstances that are too lengthy to explain, my skids do not visit our home. My DH has his time with them elsewhere...usually FIL's or his family's vacation home.

The dog is cute...seriously about 20 times bigger than an ideal dog, he is like a collie crossed with a wildebeest, but cute.
